BRISBANE PROMO VIDEO: LITTLE POSERS // Newborn Photography

Peter — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 04:04:39 +0000

Filming weddings has introduced us to some amazing people. Not only do we get to celebrate each wedding with a wonderful couple and their family and friends, we often get to spend the day with some great photographers too. Last year we had the pleasure of working with Lana Bell while filming Shelia & James’ wedding in Melbourne. And while Lana takes beautiful wedding photos, her true passion is in newborn photography and you just have to look at her website Little Posers to see she has the skills to match.

So you can image I was very excited when Lana asked me to film her first instructional video. I flew down to Brisbane for a few days last month and got to experience Lana’s passion and skill first hand as she went through the basics of newborn photography for the video. It was a great experience – and who knew newborn babies were so small!!

Check out the teaser ad created for the instructional video below. If you are interested in newborn photography, then I highly recommend you check out Newborn Photography: The Basics. | A Newborn Posing Guide for Photographers available through Lana’s website.

PROMO TIME FOR MATT AND KATIE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Peter — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 23:23:49 +0000

Last year we headed down to Toowoomba for a few days to spend with Matt and Katie who I’ve known for a few years now. They have been shooting weddings together but the Potraits part of the business was still under the old business name so to make it simple for them and everyone else they have decided to merge it all to one Matt and Katie Photographers and so thats where we came in and Matt approached me to put together a promo film for them.

M and I had such a blast capturing the amazing locations and the beautiful kids and parents. There was so many good shots but working closely together with Matt as he himself used to be a video producer came up with something that reflects their business and who they are as photographers.

Head over to their website MATT AND KATIE PHOTOGRAPHERS and see all the photos from the promo and also lots of other beautiful portraits.

Crave Promo

Crave is a funky new surf and clothing store located in Yeppoon, Queensland. They asked us to put together some stock footage to make a promo to be played during this years Big Brother – so we are moving up on the world, prime time in Central Queensland!

Most of the footage is from the labels, but since Emily and I had spent the Anzac long weekend down as Lorne with the gang, I was fortunate enough to get some surfing footage from Australia’s most famous surfing beach, Bell’s Beach. It was amazing watching those guys riding the waves, but they are braver than me as the ocean was freezing!

Lastly, you might be surprised to know, but I also wrote the music track! You can buy royalty free music, but I really enjoy the creativity of making my own songs and I wanted to get the feel just right for the guys at Crave. It think the end product is pretty rad dude!
