Recently I had a couple of free days up in Sydney. The weather was glorious, and after checking out some fabulous art at the Biennale and upgrading my knowledge of native birds at the Australian Museum, I wanted to spend some time just wandering the city centre, camera in hand. The Fujifilm X-T2 is my go-to travel camera – if you haven’t got one I simply can’t recommend it highly enough – and for this…
Did somebody say… outdoor party? We created a collection of lifestyle photography for DrinkWise, an Australian not-for-profit whose remit is to promote healthier and safer drinking culture (and let’s face it, Australia doesn’t have the best reputation for responsible drinking). DrinkWise isn’t about trying to get people to ‘not drink’, but is about making healthier choices – the vibe being that you can still have fun and be social while being responsible. Images were shot…
Way hey HEYYY! A huge congrats to Image Workshop photographer Brence Coghill for being featured in the highly selective Capture magazine 2017 ‘The Annual’ edition, where they show off some the strongest work shot over the last 12 months by Australian based photographers. You can see Brence’s surreal, pixel-headed portrait in the ‘Art’ section. Nice work B! This image was created for a pair of electronic music composers Matt Rankin and co-composer Vanessa Nimmo, as a…

Shooting environmental portraits – pictures of people on location, in context of who they are and what they do – is one of our favourite types of photography. So naturally we love photographing graduate profiles for Melbourne-based training provider William Angliss Institute.
Real nurses, real patients, real interactions. We recently shot a series of brand library images for the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. We spent two days shooting on location in two Melbourne hospitals capturing real nurses, real patients and real interactions.
Sometimes the advertising photography we’re called on to do is less about being ‘visually creative’ and more of a technical and ingenuity challenge – like translating an artwork housed in a tiny garage into Melbourne’s largest billboard. The Southern Cross Austereo radio network had a cunning idea for promoting Triple M radio station – commission Melbourne’s most notorious street artist HAHA to create a custom artwork and put it on the largest billboard in the…
The Nature Conservancy is a US-based organisation dedicated to ecological conservation, with over 600 scientists working on projects in 69 countries. Rick Hamilton, a marine scientist based in Brisbane, Australia, works extensively in marine environments and recently (re)discovered the rare crusty Nautilus – an elusive sea creature last seen alive in the 1980s. The June/July issue of Nature Conservancy magazine would feature an essay on Rick’s diving mission to find the secretive Nautilus. We went on assigment to meet Rick in Brisbane to create an…
It’s awesome when clients trust us to do something more out of the box than they’re used to. We’re pleased to have created the latest annual report photography for CCMC – the Code Compliance Monitoring Committee, working alongside Mackay Branson design. CCMC monitors banks’ compliance with the Code of Banking Practice and investigates allegations of misconduct. It sounds a little dry I know; but really they’re looking out for people like you and I, and making sure banks aren’t doing anything dodgy….

The ‘Skills for Success’ program is focused on creating highly skilled Indigenous chefs and providing them with lifelong mentors in the industry….
