google pixel 4 portrait photography workshop

January 10, 2020

At the end of 2019 I joined up with Google to host a portrait photography workshop with Team Pixel! Just in case you haven’t heard, I joined Team Pixel halfway through last year and I have found it’s such a great group of creative and talented people from around Australia. It was a really fun experience getting to share my portrait photography knowledge on lighting, composition and posing with the team for the masterclass and then seeing all the photos everyone created during both the workshops! During the workshops in Sydney and Melbourne I also had the chance to capture a portrait of everyone there. These are some of my favourites all shot on the Pixel 4 with either the normal camera or portrait mode, depending on the location! I also edited all these photos with Lightroom Mobile on the Pixel 4.

You can watch my vlog of the week in the life of a photographer below where I shared some snippets of my trip to Melbourne for the workshop!

The DREAMIEST Lens I've ever used - Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM + Sony A7IV Photo Samples + A7SIII Video Examples

The 105mm focal length is really interesting to me and I personally love what it looks like. For this photoshoot, I knew I wanted a really dreamy look to the photos so I organised this photoshoot for the late afternoon so we could have that nice, soft sun for our lighting. I also chose this location so we can capture as much bokeh as possible!

Olympus AF-1 Twin 35mm Film Photoshoot with Fujifilm Superia 400

The Olympus AF-1 Twin features a dual lens system so that you can switch between a 35mm wide-angle lens and a 70mm telephoto lens at the touch of a button - essentially like phone cameras except well, that it shoots 35mm film. Surely it inspired the iPhone camera system right?

Canon 50mm f1.8 - Nifty Fifty Portrait Photography | Canon's Cheapest Lens

This has got to be one of the cheapest autofocus lenses available for Canon DSLR cameras, I picked up mine used for about $30 USD. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact and affordable prime lens offering a wide aperture for low-light shooting and creative depth of field control aka bokeh! This is a great lens for beginners and gives a very budget friendly entry into DSLR photography. These are the photos I captured with it.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens Review with Photo Samples

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f1.8 S Plena is a high-performance medium-telephoto prime lens designed for Nikon's Z mount mirrorless cameras. This 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens produces high quality images with beautiful clarity and sharpness.

The Sony FE 135mm f1.8 GM is known for its exceptional sharpness, fast autofocus, and beautiful bokeh, making it a favourite among portrait, wedding and event photographers, as well as those who shoot video or need a fast telephoto prime.

Composition Tips with a 24-70mm Zoom Lens

During this photoshoot, I’m using the Sony A7IV paired with the Samyang 24-70mm f2.8 zoom lens. This zoom lens gives me a lot of flexibility while shooting as it allows me to capture both wide and tight compositions without changing lenses. This is especially helpful is fast paced environments or when taking photos on a time crunch. While taking portraits, I’m also sharing a few of my go to composition tips for working with a standard zoom like this.

Lake Bled Photography Spots, Slovenia

I spent a morning doing landscape photography around Lake Bled in Slovenia using the Sony A7IV with the GM 35mm f1.4 lens.

birthday adventures

July 8, 2019

A few snaps from my birthday this weekend. I spent Saturday hanging out with my family making gnocchi and my mum baked me a gorgeous cake and then Sunday adventuring in the Blue Mountains with Dan!

I took all these photos with the Sony A7III + Zeiss 35mm f1.4 and I edited them all with my new Mountains Lightroom Preset.

Lake Bled Photography Spots, Slovenia

I spent a morning doing landscape photography around Lake Bled in Slovenia using the Sony A7IV with the GM 35mm f1.4 lens.

LUMIX S5II Street Photography in Tokyo, Japan

This blog post includes some of my favourite photos I took during my time in Japan with the S5II. If you want to hear my complete thoughts and review of the S5II capabilities for photo and video, you can watch my review video here.

LUMIX S5II Autumn Portraits in Japan

In November, I was invited to Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit for the announcement of the new LUMIX S5II. Paired with the new camera body and an array of lenses, Dan and I took to the streets of Tokyo, Japan to film our review video of the camera body.

LUMIX S5 Street Photography, Japan

In November, I was invited to Tokyo, Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit. They didn't tell me what was going to be announced, but I was very excited to find out because it sounded like it was going to be something big. On the morning of the event, I met Pav and we went for a little photo walk around the streets of our hotel. For this trip, I decided to bring the LUMIX S5 with me to test it out for photo and video.

LUMIX S5 Autumn Portraits and Exploring Tokyo

In November, I was invited to Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit for the announcement of something new. I left Sydney with Dan, Aaron and Simon in the evening and we landed in Toyko, Japan the next morning. We were all a little tired from the overnight flight, but we decided to head out and explore Tokyo since we had a free day before the event.

Lake Gosau, Austria with the Sony A7IV + GM 35mm f1.4

We set off the loop walk around the lake and it was such a stunning stroll. I loved every minute of it and kept stopping to take photos. I was contemplating coming here for sunrise but I'm happy we visited in the afternoon. The second half of the lake was all backlit and I captured some of my favourite photos where you can see the moon plus the jagged peaks of the mountains. Austria is SO incredible!

Sunset in Hallstatt, Austria

It's been a long day starting at 4am for sunrise landscape photography, then a trip to Lake Gousau and finally a stop in the town of Hallstatt. I have visited Hallstatt a few years ago during the spring. It's strange on that trip I was wearing a thick turtle neck jumper and on this trip just a light dress!

Moon photography in Purgg, Austria

As I was getting ready to go to bed for a sunrise start the next day, I noticed the moon outside our bathroom window. It was in a crescent shape during blue hour and headed towards the jagged mountain peak. Dan quickly set up the tripod for a timelapse while I snapped a few photos. I started with a closeup shot of the moon with my 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 OSS lens.

Wide angle VS Telephoto Lens for Landscape Photography in Austria

I set my alarm for 4am, Dan and I hopped in the car while it was still dark and drove to our first location. We had scouted a couple of sunrise spots the day before. This spot was a nothing place - not a landmark or a viewpoint. It was by a little carpark for an army base just off the side of the road.

Prague on 35mm Film

This is the last part of my mammoth blog series from my time in Prague, Czech Republic. I have recently been loving shooting on 35mm film again, specifically with point and shoot cameras. I brought the Contax T2 and Olympus Mju-ii with me on this trip and I used both those cameras to take the photos in this blog post. I used 2 film stocks including Fujifilm C200 in the Mju-ii and Portra 160 in the Contax.
