Shoot for M&C Saatchi

Well chuffed to get to work with young and dynamic creatives Nick Bonney and Matt Weston on an funky idea they had. Pulled a shoot together on a shoestring budget so I self-produced and got very hands on. It makes one realise just how much pre prod work goes into a project, even a relatively small one. Casting was spot on, and I was stoked to have stylist Kathy McKinnon and SFX MUA Jen Carlson aboard. The shots came together nicely, albeit juggling time issues and 35+ deg heat. I'll post the finished product in another post, but here are some outtakes.

Mosman Photography Prize

I popped in an entry for the local photo comp (mainly because it was free entry) and was chuffed to get the call that I won a category. Even better news came a week or two later when I sold a print through the Mosman Art Gallery. Strangely it wasn't the one that won the prize, but one of my favourite images of Lenny Warry. Anyway, it made it a cool 2 for 2. Hopefully I'll sell many more prints in the future. Congrats to fine artist Ben Ali Ong for winning the main category with the haunting Songs of Sorrow and Stephen Weissner for the amateur category. I really liked Stephens Anzac day image.

Now I'm gonna have a crack at the National Portrait Prize. If you gonna run with the big dogs...
