I am honored to be the jewellery photographer for local designer Claire Brooks.

Claire designs and makes incredible jewellery. Her style is unique and super creative.

Photographing her work is an absolute pleasure and at the same time a challenge. Each piece is unique and special, therefore the photographs need to reflect this.

We have chosen a clean cut, contemporary, minimalistic photography style to put all focus on the jewellery. As Claire’s work is so detailed and intricate, it is important that every image is razor sharp.

Here are some examples of the shots…

It’s like trying to take a photo of a mirror without seeing yourself in it. This was a very similar job to a saxophone photo shoot I wrote about recently.

The trick with any reflective product, is what to position in the reflection. The last thing you want to see is some lighting stands, your camera or the office desk in your product. Positioning some screens in the right places will take care of this. However chrome requires a little more work. If you photograph the products in a white box and light them evenly, they will tend to look flat and boring. It is important to use various shades (dark, grey and light) in the reflection to give the product the shiny look. Easier said than done, but when you get it right, they look great!

Here are some examples of the shots taken

Whether it be for your website, a job application or an annual report, having a photo of yourself that you are proud of feels great!

Not only that, it’s an easy way to portray to others that you are professional and likeable. That goes a long way in business.

I photographed a CD launch for local Perth band “Funkalleros”. They are awesome musicians and the crowd was rocking!

There were some beautiful colours with the lighting, which makes for great photos.

It’s important not to wash out these colours by using the flash, but at the same time its quite dark so you have to hold the camera as still as possible… and hope the band doesn’t move too much when you take the shot

Good live photos of your band are a great way to give yourself a high-quality look on your website, myspace, facebook and advertising.

They were wanting hi-quality product photos of their new coolers for their new website.

One question that kept coming up from their customers is “when will you be delivering some more water”? These are actually self-filling filtering systems so you top them up yourself.

We needed to communicate this much stronger on the website so it was clear to their customers. A powerful way to do this is through photos.

We took a series of “in-action” shots, showing water being poured into the top. This will make it super clear on the website what you are getting.

If you are selling products online, there are great opportunities to easily communicate the features and benefits through using the right photos. Work out what your customers want most out of your products and make sure you show them clearly.

It has a funky fit-out, with a simple and deliciously tasty menu.

Jason is also a wine buff so as soon as the liquor license is complete, there will be wine education sessions and yummy tastings.

It’s a great way for Didge Breath to share the excitement with their customers around the world who were not able to be there.

Photos of events is an excellent way to add life to your website… so people know you are a living, breathing, active business. This builds trust and credibility and results in a stronger online business.

This week I had the pleasure in photographing a beautiful range of saxophones. Suryo Wilson is releasing his finely handcrafted S.Wilson saxophones, and boy are they beauties!

Suryo needed high quality product photographs to use for his new website and also to be later used for marketing and advertising material.

We photographed 12 different instruments, getting full product shots, then also some close-up detail shots to give you a real feel for the quality of these saxophones.

As these instruments are highly reflective, one of the biggest challenges was to get the reflections looking right. It’s like taking a photo of a mirror without seeing yourself in the photo! Seeing reflections of you, your camera, desk, computer etc in your product shots is not a good look. We paid special attention to get this right.

The final result was super stunning images of the saxophone range.

Here are some of the photos for you…

“We needed first-rate product shots for our new website and for printed material. Our saxophones are challenging subjects because of their detailed and highly reflective nature. We were very careful to choose a photographer with expert knowledge of lighting, a professional approach and a passion for their craft. Matt paid special attention to make sure the lighting and reflections were just right and the results are stunning, extraordinarily detailed shots of our instruments with beautiful reflected highlights.”

Shari needed some product photos of the Munchee Mug to show the range, but to also demonstrate its uses. We shot the mug with some common snacks in and around so you can easily get an understanding of what it can be used for. We also got some clean product shots of the different colours.

Had a photo shoot this week for Spectra Jeans. These jeans are new to hit the market and aimed towards motorcycle riders. They are great looking jeans with some unique and stylish stitching.

Spectra needed photographs that could be used in a variety of mediums (website, brochures, tags, in-store posters) to help launch, promote and build their brand.

The main goals of the photographs were to firmly appeal  to motorcycle enthusiasts and to also really bring out the unique stitching designs. We got some great environmental photos and also some “studio look” product shots.

Here are a few of the them…
