I spend quite a bit of time on the road and for years I would see some crazy letter boxes out on the country back roads. It was almost as if people compete for the best letterbox. Over the past year or 2 I actually stopped at some of my favourites and shot them…
I live about 30 minutes from the Yarra Valley but I drive through it quite often when heading north on a trip. I’ve always wanted to head down for a couple hours and just shoot the surroundings so on christmas eve of 2013 my girlfriend and I hit it up during golden hour and this is what I came back with. I really only scratched the surface of what there is to shoot so more adventures are needed.
I love shooting photos from a moving car, it’s not often I am a passenger in a car but when I am and it’s in a new city I will try make the most of it. A few months back on a trip around California I drove around the city with my friend Chris Bracamonte and shot these random photos heading to different spots we were riding.
Shooting photos of people is definitely one of my favourite styles to shoot. Be it of my friends or random people out in the world I am into it. I am not one to approach people too shoot so usually it’s stealth mode.
Jamie is a good friend of mine who kills it on a board. Up until recently he was living pretty close to me so we would always head out on missions together. I don’t shoot much skateboarding but I do enjoy it when I do.
I drive past this school a couple times a week and only realised a week or two ago that it was abandoned so I popped down for a wander with my camera. At first I wasn’t to fazed with walking through the school solo until I came across the obvious homeless person’s little setup in a corner of a building. At first I thought the person was actually there so I kept walking acting cool like I was just taking a short cut, once I was out of range I started feel a bit more conscious of the fact that anyone could be floating about in the school. I was at the point of making sure no one was coming up behind me as I dropped down to take a photo.
A few weeks ago now I wandered around a family friends garden, something they take alot of pride in and have some very special features so I thought I would share it with you…
