  • The Romantic Three

    The Romantic Three

    A little whiles back in March, Karissa Fanning ofThe Lanesigned up Director Sybil Steele to create a video campaign forCalleija Jewellers, which happened to involve shooting three Short Films in three days!

    I was lucky enough to get the scruffy-lookin’ DP and Editing role. Sybil and I are a bit of an A-Team. I’m also a bit of a romantic and love these sort of projects. To top it off, Sybil’s hubby Taylor Steele let us use his RED camera. BOOYA!

    I can’t believe I’m celebrating Fathers Day today for the first time… What a trip!

  • An evolutionary thought…

    An evolutionary thought…

    Today I really felt a big shift.

    My fiancé Elizabeth and I having our first child in a couple days (due date of course).

    It’s one of those big moments in everyone’s life. We all take it on in different ways. For me, coming at childbirth from a masculine perspective is one of thinking and re-thinking.

    Humble Waters

    I consider myself pretty aware when it comes to the ocean. Surfing most days. Watching the winds. Observing the movements in sand for that next perfect bank.

The days have been a dream lately, so...

    Tempting Alice

    Kirra Cheers is one of Byron Bay‘s incredible local photographic talents.

    She now found her way toNEW YORK(lucky lass), but before she left I was lucky enough to do a video on Kirra for her new travel and photographic blogTempting Alice.

    It was really fun. Kirra had the great creative thoughts of filming a sequence from a hot air balloon (one of the most serene experiences), with another sequence filmed within the rainforest tranquility of Minyon Falls.

    The above ...

  • A Spell Wedding

    A Spell Wedding

    I got the pleasure of making my soon to be sister-in-law Isabella (the other half of Spell), and her partner Dougall a wedding video recently. My fiance Elizabeth (Isabella’s sister) persuaded me to do it as a wedding gift, as I was adamant I wanted to simply watch and enjoy the experience. I’m glad I did do it.

    It was a beautiful wedding, and for Isabella it was really special to have these intimate moments documented in a creative way, as in the moment of...
