Cinema

The drama in the sky made this shot. Cropped to panorama style, very cinematic and larger than life.

Pre Shoot

Recently we did a pre- wedding shoot for Chris and sarah. We usually don't do these but thought it would be a good idea to get to know the couple and photograph them prior to their big day. Chris and Sarah have been a part of our 'word of mouth' chain of weddings. a Looking forward to shooting the wedding later this month.

New Clip for Marc Collis

Recently shot another clip for Marc Collis on a shoestring budget. There's a fine line between romantic and cheesy. I hope we were on the right side of that line. I like my cheese grilled with a dash of tobasco. I don't like it in my video clips.

Replay

Grand Final Day 2010. Hustle and Bustle downstairs as the groom was missing. We find Brad, upstairs watching the last gripping moments of the game, his beloved Saints tie the game. "Now I'm ready to get married"!

Passport photo?...

Shot a fashion shoot with a young model Aimee Suckling recently. I asked her to let go nuts and make a couple of faces, ugly it up a bit and leave those inhibitions at the door!!, anyway, she didnt stop and I just kept clickin...made an interesting montage.

The Quarters; Tik Tik Boom!

Shot a clip for Melbourne band The Quarters the other week.
There was a desolate field out in Sunshine that looked like some kind of nuclear wasteland. Unfortunately we were only able to get 2 takes before the sun disappeared. Luckily we had a generator and a couple of work lights handy. Check out Stephanie on bass. There were some very sore necks the following day.

Monsoon Wedding

Rom and I just recently got back from Goa in India where we had the honour of shooting a wedding for Shimauli and Gaurav. It was only a week or two before the monsoon season and you could literally see the moisture hanging in the air waiting to bucket down. The humidity gave everything a beautiful soft haze, and the sunsets were some of the most spectacular we'd ever seen. The ceremony took place down by the ocean, and the colours were so intense we had to actually desaturate some of the shots, otherwise it looked totally fake. With the high humidity and very high temperatures it was a struggle preventing our lenses from fogging up in the mornings. One of Rom's cameras was out of action for a while as moisture was literally dripping from it's mirror when he changed lenses.

I was sweating like I was in a sauna the whole time, but the upshot was I managed to lose about 5 kilos during the time we were there. Bonus!

I'm sure 35 bridesmaids is some kind of record too.

Cambodian Wedding

Today we shot a VIDEO wedding for a Cambodian/Samoan couple in Melbourne. The colour and ceremony was magnificent so inbetween takes, the iPhone was out capturing anything we could. Definitely out of or comfort zones, the wedding took it's own course and we were following the action, not knowing 100% what was going to be happening next. Great experience from a different culture.

Boho shoot

Cameras in Fed Square

cameras in Fed Square, originally uploaded by brendan.oshea.

Everybody thinks they're a photographer. Truth is, it isn't that hard to get a good shot these days, with some of the amazing cameras that have been coming out over the last few years. Many professional photographers are worried that their days are numbered. And they have every reason to be worried. Uncle Bob with his brand new Canikon can sometimes get a totally pro brilliant shot. Sometimes. I see it as incentive to raise the bar a couple of notches. Get the shots that Uncle Bob can't. And get them every time without fail, when it really matters. Uncle Bob will get lucky every now and then. Good on you Uncle Bob!
I've got quite a few lucky shots. The more I practice and refine my craft, the luckier I get.

A little Misunderstanding

Bride: I love cheescake. Can I possibly have a
cheesecake wedding cake?
Caterer: Of course! Your wish is my command!
Catering Apprentice: So, what sort of cake does she want?
Caterer: Cheese!
Catering Apprentice: OK. Cheese it is...
