These Images are from the recent Mitre 10 conference at the Gold Coast Convention Center.  I was asked by GCD a leading stall and display manufacturer to photograph this display that they had done for Mirabella.  It was an amazing display and their clients were very happy with the result.  I hope the images do it justice.  As a Gold Coast Event photographer i get to go to all the amazing events on the Gold Coast and love being able to satisfy my clients with some great Images.

These Images were for the Mid Town Pet Centre.  A facility that takes care of your pet dogs & cats while you are away.  It was a beautiful location and I thought that if it wasn’t for pets I wouldn’t mind spending more time there myself.  It is located in the Tallebudgera Valley and I can understand why they are so busy.  The surrounds are amazing and the animals are kept in a beautiful clean environment.  I had never been to this type of facility before as i don’t have any pets but as a Gold Coast Photographer I am always seeing new and interesting things and places.

This is the Beenleigh Police Station.  I was asked to shoot the renovations & additions to the building.  The project was built by Glenzeil, a leading building & Construction Company on the Gold Coast.  The architecture was completed by Riddel Architecture of Brisbane.  I am always shooting something new & interesting and hence I love being a Gold Coast Photographer.

These images are from a wonderful shoot that I did last week. Tonya’s husband wanted to surprise her with something special for her birthday.  A surprise Glamour shoot was what he booked.  Tonya was fantastic and was a delight to photograph. I think she did an amazing job for her 1st ever Glam our photo shoot and I believe we got some fantastic Images.  As a Gold Coast Photographer I get to shoot with some wonderful people and it is always so satisfying when they really love their Images.

I recently had the pleasure of being asked to photograph a beautiful couple from the Gold Coast.  It turned out they were friends of friends from Japan.  We had a wonderful time doing the shoot and I know Chika & Kristian love the photos I took.  Oscar has been born now and is beautiful and healthy.  As a Gold Coast Portrait Photographer I get to meet many wonderful people and I am sure these guys will be friends for a long time.

These images are from a shoot I did recently for a client that sells many items on Ebay.  She was not sure if she liked the black or the white background.  I personally preferred the black.  She initially liked the white but has asked if all future shoots could be with a black background.  These rings are beautifully crafted and I hope the images do them justice.  I love being a Gold Coast Product Photographer because I love the challenge of getting it right for the client.  Getting it right for the client hopefully then translates into some sales on Ebay.

I was recently asked to shoot one of my favourite Surf Life Saving Clubs on the Gold Coast.  The Northcliffe SLSC is located just South of Surfers Paradise and is a fantastic place to eat and hang out.  With magnificent views of the beach, wonderful food and cheap beer I love going there myself.  They have just completed an amazing refurbishment and the place looks fantastic.  I hope the Images do it justice.  As a Gold Coast Photographer I get to shoot some fabulous places and the Northcliffe SLSC was no exception.

What a fantastic little product this one is.  A small super high quality mobile phone holder for the car. It attaches by way of a clip to the grill or vent of any car.  You then have a small round sticky magnet that goes on the back of your mobile phone.  They stick together and allow you to operate your phone handsfree.  It is imported from Italy so is fantastic quality and you are given 5 of the sticky magnets so if you change phones or more than one person drives the same car it can be used by more than 1 phone.  I was asked to shoot the product just before Christmas.  I was so impressed I bought one for my wife.  I get to shoot some great products on the Gold Coast & love being a photographer here.

I was recently sent to Lismore to shoot a brand new Motel that had just opened there.  It is a spectacular location with great views from each of the rooms of the very lush green gardens and pool. Lismore is about 1.5 hours South of the Gold Coast  and just past Byron Bay.  It is a bit of University town and there are alot of creative types that live there.  As a Gold Coast Photographer it is great to be able to sneak off to some nice locations and shoot some great places.                             

I recently shot some Images in the North Noosa beach Camp Park. What a wonderful place to camp for a week or so. Full of natural wildlife and right on a fantastic surf & fishing beach. The Images turned out fantastic and as a Gold Coast Commercial Photographer i don’t mind travelling away fro home to get the right shots for a client. I am looking forward to another trip North soon.

Not long ago I was commissioned to shoot some Images for SJ Higgins Construction from Brisbane.  They sent me to the Tweed Heads Shopping Centre.  They had recently completed some work there and needed some Images for their website etc.  They did an amazing job of Lincraft and of the food Court, including Subway & McDonalds.  As a Gold Coast Building & Real Estate Photographer I get to shoot some amazing buildings and I really love the ceiling here and the way it lets in so much natural light.

Louise recently sat for me in my Gold Coast studio as part of my ongoing 3 Faces Project.  I rewarded her with some Images for her portfolio.  She has some great ideas and I know she loves the Images we captured.  As a Gold Coast Fashion & Modeling Photographer i get to photograph some beautiful  women & Louise was no exception.  I am looking forward to our next shoot.

I love shooting Gold Coast Weddings & being a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer.  There are so many beautiful locations on the Gold Coast to choose from and fortunately the bridal couples choose the best of them.  This wedding was no exception and Danny & Kuniyo were married on Froggys beach near the border of NSW & Qld.  We captured some amazing Images and everyone partied long into the night.

I recently had the pleasure of shooting with a young Gold Coast Model – Jaide.  She is an absolute delight to work with and gorgeous to boot.  This is the 2nd time I have worked with Jaide and we have managed to capture some great Images for both clients.  Jaide is going to be the new face of Ocean Feather a Successful Online Marketing Company.

One of my favorite shoots recently has been down at the Enrich Retreat in Bilambil Heights just across the border into NSW.  The shoot took place over a couple of days and transformed from a property shoot for the website into a Corporate Portrait session & Modeling shoot with make up artists & hairstylists etc.  The property is just amazing up on a hill overlooking Bilambil Lake.  What a wonderful place to wake up of a morning and the facilities are second to none. As a Gold Coast Property Photographer I get to see and photograph some amazing places.  I am looking forward to going back there and having a relax one day.

The beach on the Gold Coast has to be one of the most perfect Gold Coast Wedding venues anywhere.  Being a Gold Coast Photographer enables me to shoot some of these Weddings and I get to meet some fantastic couples.  This Wedding was no exception.  Samantha & Glen had a fantastic day and i hope it is reflected in these Images.  Miami beach was the location for the ceremony and then onto the Miami SLSC for the reception.  I believe they partied long into the night.

I had had the pleasure of inviting Maisy into my studio recently.  We had the best time and as you can see from the Images Maisy was a delight to photograph.  The 3 faces project that I am working on is an ongoing project that will hopefully get published at the end of it.

We also did some shots for Maisys portfolio and had some great light at the beach.  There are soem beautiful places on the Gold Coast and being a Gold Coast Photographer enables me to sneak around and take some amazing shots in them.

I had an amazing day shooting a fantastic wedding on the Gold Coast recently for Ang & Derek.  The day was a bit overcast but it didn’t seem to bother anyone.  There were about 70 or so guests to a wonderful property in Merrimac with a private church and its own reception facilities. These are just a few of the Images.

This Image is from a series I am working on called 3 Faces.  This is Emma and she agreed to sit for me in exchange for some Images.  3 faces is a project I am continually working on and it is showing what I believe are the 3 main human faces from one extreme to the other.  I am hoping to exhibit a series of these 3 faces Images at a venue on the Gold Coast towards the end of next year.

I was recently commissioned to capture some Images of the Oracle & The Waves buildings in Broadbeach , Gold Coast.  Truly outstanding buildings and they look magnificent against a beautiful blue sky.  I love shooting new and interesting buildings and as a Gold Coast Building & Real Estate Photographer I will hopefully continue to get commissioned to keep shooting them.

I had the pleasure recently of taking some snaps of a gorgeous young model, Liz.  Liz is a boxer so I was very careful not to offend her.  We got some great shots in the studio and i know her portfolio is better for it.  Her flaming red hair was beautiful and it framed her face really well.  Being a Gold Coast Fashion & modeling  Photographer lets me photograph beautiful women like Liz on a weekly basis.  Something I am sure i will never get tired of.

Recently I was asked to shoot a young model from the Beenleigh.  She particularly wanted a beach shoot, so I suggested we head down over the border to Fingal Head.  What a fabulous location for a photo shoot.  Late afternoon light was streaking through the trees and looked amazing.  It was freezing though so Bec had to brave the cold for alot of her shots.  We managed to get some great shots despite the cold and Bec was really happy with the results.  Its great being a Gold Coast Modeling Photographer and having a chance to capture such beautiful women in such amazing locations.

I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding at Main Beach here on the Gold Coast of a fabulous couple from Victoria.  The ceremony was a quiet little one on the beach at the spit.  There were only a handful of people in attendance but it was a wonderful little ceremony and a few tears were shed.   As a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer I love the opportunity to meet & shoot great couples that have a great time on their wedding day.  These are just a few of the captured Images.

While I was recently shooting for a Gold Coast Photography project of mine, 3 faces.  I came across a beautiful young model called Denielle.  We had a fabulous time shooting in my studio in Burleigh heads and then went down to Tallebudgera Cove to do some late afternoon shots.  She did a fantastic job and there is certainly something in those eyes of hers.

As a Gold Coast Fashion & Modeling Photographer I have an opportunity to work with some beautiful models.  The latest model I worked with is from Adelaide in S.A. , Jasmine.  Absolutely gorgeous !  The brief was to shoot  swimwear on the beach in Surfers Paradise but we had some atrocious weather whilst she was on the Gold Coast.  We did get some shots but we spent a good deal of the time shooting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.  They allowed us to use their pool and also gave us a Suite room to shoot in.  These are just a few of the shots.

Recently I was asked to shoot for new a new Melbourne Fashion Label LA Shopping Queen.   It’s an online store mainly selling Accessories and Nightwear.
Mainly there are 4 categories of products: Bags, Jewelery, Party Hats & Nightwear.
For Bags, the store will feature products from Paris (bags, jeweleries) and also  will have  in-house Leather Bags branding as “LA REINE” (means “The Queen).
For jewelery, the store will be selling jeweleries that are in-house design with Swarovski crystals which are all made in Korea and also costume jeweleries.
For Party Hats, there are colorful fascinators and race hats for special events such as Spring Racing Carnival, Weddings etc.
For nightwear, there are garments made of lace or silk, mainly cute + sexy (but not revealing)… The store is positioned to be more high street fashion rather than high end fashion or lower end fashion.

We had a fabulous day shooting and here below are just a few of the Images captured.  As a Gold Coast Fashion Photographer its fabulous to be able to shoot such beautiful models and have such a fun shoot.

As a Gold Coast Photographer I am always getting asked to shoot some interesting jobs.  The weeks interesting job was for the outside signage for Loot Homewares at Robina Town Center.  The Images are going to made into massive big billboard type signs for the front of their shop.  They wanted bright and colorful images displaying some of their most popular items.  I hope I delivered ! These are just a few of the images that we created.

I had the pleasure to shoot a fabulous fashion Parade at Sanctuary Cove.  It was the beginning of Fashion week and it was an amazing show with some really fabulous young designers & models. Evolve was 5 designers from the Australian Institute of Creative Design and they were backed up by a range of stylists hair stylists and make up artists. These are just a few of the images.

I am so lucky living and working on the Gold Coast.  The Gold Coast is a haven for beautiful girls & women.  Being a Gold Coast Fashion & Modeling Photographer means that a couple of times a week I get to meet and make pictures with some amazing looking models.  This is Chloe.  She is trying to get a start in modeling and does a lot of promotional type modeling around the Gold Coast. We had a great fun shoot and with her long blond hair she will go far.  I look forward to seeing more of her in the future.

This is Mia. She wanted some shots for her boyfriend and for her own albums and we made some fabulous pictures.  She was a delight to shoot and we had loads of fun in the studio.  I really look forward to the next shoot.  As a Gold Coast Photographer I get to make some pictures with some beautiful women.  Its a tough gig ! There were a lot more pictures all of them beautiful.

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting Tania in my studio.  She was interested in having some shots done as a keep sake for her own albums.  She was so much fun to shoot and we spent hours playing around and getting some snaps.  These are just a few of the images that we made.  A great shoot and lots of fun.  Truly one of the reasons I love being a Gold Coast Portrait Photographer.

The Davies Wedding was a wonderful afternoon on the beach.  I love being a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer because I get to hang out on the beach, on the Gold Coast and photograph amazing couples that are having so much fun.  This wedding was no exception.  Held in the corner of Miami Beach and attended by some 70 guests it was a great afternoon and got some great images.

I recently shot a house in Burleigh Waters.  A really beautiful house that is owned by some friends of mine.  I particularly like the pool & entertainment area of the house and I am sure it would be a fabulous place to reside.  As a Gold Coast Real Estate Photographer I get to visit and shoot some amazing places !

This is a beautiful couple that I photographed in Main Beach.  They had flown in from the Solomon Islands the day before and had just gotten engaged.  They wanted some soft beachy romantic relaxed portraits to remember this weekend.  They were carefree and easy to work with so I was able to capture some great looks. As a Gold Coast photographer I get to travel and one of the places i was lucky enough to shoot in was the Solomon Islands.  What a fabulous place to visit and these guys live there all the time.

This is Cat D.  She is gorgeous and we had a fabulous shoot at Emerald Lakes on the Gold Coast.  This shoot was called Rock Fashion & was styled by Rechelle Dixon. Hair & Make up was by Kat & Larna.  Rechelle wanted a hard edgy look to the images and i think Cat was able to capture that look perfectly.  I bumped into Cat again when I was shooting a fashion parade at Sanctuary Cove and again she stunned me with the look she was able to pull off on the catwalk.  I am really looking forward to casting her again.  Its really tough being a Gold Coast Fashion & Modeling Photographer ! Lol

This is East Nightclub.  I was asked to do a shoot in East to capture the decorations for a special theme night for Halloween.  This is just one the bars that I captured.  It is being engulfed by a huge blow up horn.  It looked quite spectacular with the lights that were constantly changing.  I am sure it was a big night.  As a Gold Coast Commercial Building & Real Estate Photographer I get to see some wonderful clubs and get to sneak into some amazing places with my camera.  I really have a tough job !

This is Courtney S.  She is gorgeous.  We did this shoot at the back of Burleigh Beach at one of my favorite places to shoot, Tallebudgera Cove.  Its slightly protected from the wind and the water is calmer.  The sun also sets directly behind the mountain and can look spectacular on certain days.  Courtney was awesome to shoot and we got some amazing shots.  She was a Gold Coast Meter Maid but I don`t think she does that anymore.  She was looking to get into modeling and i wouldn`t imagine she would have too much trouble.  As a Gold Coast Photographer I just love getting to hang out with beautiful girls like Courtney.

This was a great wedding ! Nathan & Tahnia had so much fun on the shoot and we captured some great Images.  This was one of my favorites.  As a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer I just love shooting beach weddings.  The Gold Coast is such a beautiful place and the beaches are such amazing places to get married on.  This Wedding was at Burleigh Heads Surf Life Saving Club and the bride arrived in a huge Mack Truck.  Quite a sight.  It was very laid back and casual and thongs were compulsory.  A good time was had by all.

This is Ben & Jane.  They own & operate Promotional Models Australia which is a Promotional Modeling agency here on the Gold Coast.  They wanted some shots of themselves as a couple and came to my studio where I captured this shot.  They are a very handsome couple and a delight to photograph.  This shot is one of my all time favorite couples shots and they love it so much they have used it as a promotional banner for their Gold Coast modeling agency.

This is Courtney.  She is beautiful.  We went this day to a broken down old building in Burleigh Heads and grabbed some shots.  This is one of my favorites.  She is tall & strong & has a beautiful body and this shot captures her exactly.   After shooting for a while in this building we went to the beach where we captured some great shots there as well.  She has been one of my favorite shoots because we had so much fun.  As a Gold Coast fashion & Modeling Photographer you get to work with so many beautiful women.

Bradkay Photographix also shoots surf Photos and is known as Aussie Surf Photos.  The site can be found at www.aussiesurfphotos.com  This is one of my favorite shots and I caught this longboarder on a perfect wave.  This was taken at Burleigh Heads on a near perfect winters day.  Sky was blue, surf was blue and this guy was screaming. This is what surfing on the Gold Coast is all about and lets hope there is plenty more of this this winter.

This is Sheri.  She is absolutely gorgeous and as you could imagine we had lots of fun doing this shoot.  She works for Promotional Models Australia on the Gold Coast and needed some shots for her portfolio.  After getting some shots in my Gold Coast Photographic studio at Burleigh Heads we had a wander down to this spot just behind the Burleigh Headland in Tallebudgera Cove.  The sunset this day was amazing and as a Gold Coast fashion & Modeling Photographer you sometimes have to have a little bit of luck go your way. Sometimes the sunsets are hit or miss but on this day it was a big hit.  Sheri loved these photos and this was one of my favorites.

As a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer I get to meet lots of wonderful couples and shoot lots of amazing Weddings.  I love to shoot Weddings because they are such fun occasions where everybody is happy and full of good cheer.  This shot above is still one of my favorites and I often get comments about it.  This is Michelle, she married Brad in a wedding at Burleigh Heads and then the reception was at North Burleigh Surf Club.  This shot was taken at Michelle’s Parents home. I think it combines all the elements that you want to come together for you on your wedding day.  She looked beautiful, her dress was amazing and she was having so much fun with her and her twin sister playing around for the camera.  I actually had a another couple say to me that they liked this Image so much it was one of the main reasons that they contacted me about shooting their wedding.

This is Platinum Nightclub.  Its in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Queensland.  It is owned by one of my buddies Joey Lamattina.  We used to work together a long time ago.  The club is always pumping and prides itself on having the latest and greatest DJ`s on a regular basis.  The Stafford Brothers are part owners and are regulars when they are not traveling overseas and making documentaries about their journeys through Europe, making music.

This is probably my favorite image at the moment & has been for awhile.  It was taken on a job for Coca Cola back in 2009 at North Burleigh.  It was what I call a “grab shot”.  It wasn`t really part of the brief but it just sort of happened.  This is a family from  Bendigo in Victoria and they were just coming back in from having a Coca Cola Surf lesson.  They stopped to check out some of the other students finishing their surf lessons and the image just sort of presented itself.  I adjusted their positions slightly and took a few from different angles.  This is the  one that i like in the end & converted it to Black & White because I thought the clouds and the sand  would look better. As a Gold Coast Commercial & Event photographer I am always on the look out for ” Grab Shots” when I have my camera handy or I am on the the job.

These are some behind the scenes shots from the Recent Queensland Women Firefighters Calendar shoot at Roma Street in Brisbane.  Had a fabulous day with the girls and I will look forward to next year.  The calendar will help to raise money for the Pink Ribbon Cancer appeal so it is for a very worthy cause. I had a fantastic team for both days of shooting.  My stylist for the shoot was Jasmine Arons who did a wonderful job and was a delight to work with.  My photographic assistant for the day was Vanessa Mackie who also did a great job . These images were shot by Mark Hummerstone.

I love being a Gold Coast Photographer.  This is one of the best shoots I have ever been involved with.  Not only was it great fun but I had an opportunity to meet some fabulous women firefighters and help with the effort to raise some money for the Pink Ribbon Cancer research.  The girls were fabulous to shoot and as non-professional models they were a delight to work with.  I hope they enjoy their shots and when the calendar gets released make sure you buy a copy.  Some behind the scenes pics to follow.

Recently I was asked to shoot a reasonably new product onto the market for Enviroswim. The ES3 reduces the costs and time associated with operating a traditional ioniser as  the ES3 also has an electronic oxidiser and an ultrasonic system. Check it out here – http://www.enviroswim.com.au/product-detail-es3.html

It is sometimes difficult to get creative with some products but as a Gold Coast Commercial Product Photographer I never tire from making them look the best they can possibly look.

These are the parts that make up the ES3.

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph these two lovely authors for their new book which is soon to be published.  They came to my studio in Burleigh Heads and were prepared to relax and have a great time.  The images will be used on the front cover of their book which is really exciting.  I am sure they are happy with the images and as a Gold Coast Photographer its a fantastic experience to put a smile on peoples faces.  I am sure the book will be a huge success and hopefully they will write many many more.

I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph the Gold Coast Airport Golf Classic.  It is run by Global Plus an Event Management Company in Conjunction with Gold Coast Tourism.

These are just some of the many hundreds of shots that I took on the day.  It was held at Royal Pines Resort which is a world class golf course.  Each hole was sponsored and themed with promotional girls and activities.  The participants had no problems enjoying their day with the entertainment provided. The dinner was also held at the Royal Pines and there was a panel interview with Trevor Auld & Trevor Searle from the Gold Coast Suns & the Gold Coast Titans.  In amongst all the fun there was some very good golf played and the winners were grinners.  As a Gold Coast Event photographer I get to see and shoot some wonderful events.  I surely enjoyed this one and look forward to next year.
