Location photographer. Getting behind the scenes. Showing off the secret, and not so secret, treasures of the world.
Client: Marion Holiday Park
Marion Holiday Park - there really is accommodation for everyone. These images were part of a package I took while there for two hours of event coverage.
Late last year I photographed Marion Holiday Parks 35th birthday celebrations.
Must say, this park is pretty awesome... accommodation for everyone from tent sites to two storey poolside residences. Yes please.
Check out some of the pics I took while there...
For the love of life. Personal and professional development.
Learning - go on the journey of development for life. Conferences are just one way.
Do you believe in constantly improving yourself and your knowledge? Do you like learning new things? Do you strive for getting better? I do. I love learning.
This year, I made a resolution to stop learning and start implementing. That resolution got broken a few months in when I signed up for Marie Forleo's B-School. Then, again, when I signed up for a blogging business pack. And now, here I am in Perth, with a sore bum, having been in a three-day conference.
The 2015 Nikon AIPP Event is an annual event held each year, for photographers and videographers to learn, be inspired and network. This year, it was in Perth. Next year it's in Melbourne.
I love the conference, and although I didn't have major 'aha' moments this year, I have come away massively inspired and with warm fuzzies, having gained more photography friends. Listening to amazing creatives such as Ryan Schembri, Patrick Moreau, and Cameron Frost while chatting with photography icons David Dare Parker and Brooke Shaden, I love the passion we all share.
Takeaways for a making the most of a conference?
1. Talk to as many people as you can. Overcome your shyness. We are all in the same situation.
2. Give away more positivity - in the form of comments, compliments or just telling someone they did a good job/you like their product.
3. Three-day conferences are long. Don't feel bad if you have to stand up at the back of the room. Also, don't eat too much heavy food at lunch and get the snooze happening.
4. Enjoy the networking nights that are booze filled - but not too much. You paid good money to go, why waste it on needing to stay in bed or feel crap.
5. Get out and wander outside whenever you can. The fresh air and sun rejuvenates you for the next session.
6. Don't be afraid to approach the speakers - they are only human, like us. They are not a better human being than us; we are all the same.
So, what do you do for personal development? If we aren't growing, where are we going? If life is a journey, we need to be constantly moving forward, pushing ourselves to learn and experience new things. Imagine being stuck at a crossroad for life - never experiencing what lies beyond. Imagine what we are missing out on while waiting and not moving forward.

Sir Bob Geldof is going to be in Adelaide, speaking and motivating a room full of people at the Hilton, on Wednesday 25th March 2015. It's early, but so worth it. 7-9am. Start your day off right.
Imagine being in the same room as the brains behind Live 8, which brought in over $45 billion of aid and debt cancellation to Africa… and someone who has been nominated for the Noble Prize 8 times, more than anyone else...

Today I have a free ticket to the wonderful Business Chicks breakfast in Adelaide on this Friday 6th March. It's International Womens Day, so it seems ultra fitting, listening to a woman that 'does it all'. This woman is Naomi Simson of Red Balloon and Channel 10's Shark Tank. She is also a chair, mother, author and blogger with a list of close to 800,000 followers. Safe to say it will be a very insipiring event.

Job: Due South Launch
I photo'd the launch of HWR's Due South last week. It was fun. So many people to see, and say hello to again. I like the people here. Along with doing the normal event pics, I had some fun with photographing some randomness...
