Cast Shots Once Belonged

Filming has now wrapped on Terry Finocchiaro's latest short piece "Once Belonged" and it is currently in the post production phase.

This year I was asked to do the poster composites for the film so arranged a shoot with the 3 main cast members who will be appearing on the IMDB cover.

The lighting was in place already so I thought I may as well grab a few head shots for promo while they were all there.

Below are the Black/White samples from the 3 main actors in the production.  Amie Smith (Sandra), Sam Pini(Anna) and appearing in his second role for Sienna productions is Giacomo Pandini (Nat)

It will be a few months yet before the film is ready for the independent circuit, it is in the final stages of packaging to send ready to have the musical score composed and written for it.

The Maclean Motorsports Girls

The faces of  Maclean Motorsport L to R - LeAnne Noelle Key, April Vaughan & Alexx Mudd
The Maclean Motorsport Girls are a familiar site for anyone that has been to the Hidden Valley drag strip to watch a major meeting (or watched it televised). When the girls come out they are a sure sign that the fastest cars are about to make an appearance.

Long before you hear the roar of the Top Alcohol Funny Car the girls are on the track as the promotional face of the racing team, representing their sponsors and adding to the incredible spectacle that always goes hand in hand with the 'big boys' of drag racing.

 I caught up with the girls to get some promotional team shots for Maclean Motorsport at the 2014 ANDRA Drag Racing Series, this year the line-up of Alexx Mudd and LeAnne Noelle Key also included Monster Energy girl and regular Zoo model April Vaughan.

Stay tuned because I will have another shoot with April Vaughan, one on one in the studio being published very soon.

Fireworks! Territory Day 2014

Territory Day Fireworks
Mindil Beach comes alive with the public fireworks display on Territory Day 2014

Territory Day, for most of us locals it's about the fireworks.  It means a great deal more of course, Territory Day marks the Northern Territory's anniversary of self-governance, it is also a day we welcome new citizens as they pledge their commitment to become fellow Australians citizens in a citizenship ceremony.  As a photographer though, the bits I like to capture are obvious, besides flashy shiny things catch my eye!  Who could help it?

This month was a good one creatively for many reasons,  I tried a new genre in video and shot a hospitality advert for Tourism NT digital initiative program with Sienna Productions producer Terry Finocchiaro, the TV commercial I did for the ANDRA Drag Racing Series Darwin event was shown all weekend on the big screens at the V8 Supercars alongside the TV commercials I did with Edmund Forman for Motorsports NT, and most recently Australian Oxygen magazine ran with my photo for a spread they did on Amber Walker in their June 2014 issue.

It is most definitely not the first time I have been in print over the years but I still find that I get a child-like kick out of seeing my work published nationally. Perhaps it is a generational thing but for some reason in this day and age of digitally distributed media, seeing your work in print just seems to lend it that extra bit of cred!
