Projects

    Sofia FitzpatrickA 5 minute film about artist Sofia Fitzpatrick, featuring her work and the people she collaborates with including, Brett Chan, Mike Watt & Mulga. Sofia is a Sydney based artist who specialises in Skull jewellery. This video was shot over a few days in mid 2017.
  • Bondi Beach Portraits
    Bondi Beach PortraitsBondi beach is my local beach. I had just brought a new flash light which I got an assistant to hold on a long pole at an angle to the subject. The object of the exercise was to test the light and see if I could over ride the ambient light with the flashlight to get some nice portraits. So I just asked people that were already on the beach going about there day if I could photograph them in return for sending them a copy of the photo. Each photo took about a minute.
  • Chocolate Einstein
