Batblog

The Batblog is where I show off my favourite Melbourne family photo shoots, share the real stories behind them, and pass on tips for parents who want better photos of their kids (without the awkward forced smiles). New posts whenever inspiration strikes, which is often.

Couple Portrait | Zakk and Charlotte Part 1 | South Melbourne

12 June 2014
Some of you might remember Zakk. He was Dr Watson to my Holmes for years. He's now totally in Melbourne with his very lovely Charlotte. They wanted some fun shots that showed off their personality. So naturally it was easy to just wander and play. How nice is Charlott's coat?...

Glenn Moorhouse | Random Portrait

30 May 2014
  I've decided I've had enough of letting interesting people walk past. I'm going to take their photo and their story. Yesterday I did just that. But it didn't really work. I'd been sitting in a cafe having lunch with the lovely comedian Jodie J Jill (we were shooting... more...

2014 Victorian Album Of The Year

5 May 2014
My thoughts about the AIPP state awards when moving to Melbourne was "Ok, time to play with the big boys" Nothing against Tasmanian photographers, infact the last few years I've been judging down there I've been completly blown away. But Melbourne is home to some of the photographers I've been...

Hunter | Child Portraiture

17 March 2014
I thought Hunter was being cute, leaning over to the side and smiling. Working with me to get him maximum level of cuteness into the camera. I was wrong. There was a bike behind me. Hunter likes Bikes. Well anything on wheels. Still, he's cute even if he sees right...

Damon Wecker had the task of making my coffee every day for years when I lived in Launceston. His little cafe PX-Tapas was my daily escape from the office. Last week he did something pretty awesome, they won best new stall and best overall stall at Festivale, Launceston's big food,...
