In this project of mine I am immersing swan images into surreal landscape settings.
A fantasy, dreaming style of imagery is the cosmetic approach. I will compile the images into something magical at the end of 2012, not too sure what yet…
I will be adding 1 image a month to the collection for 2012.
March
Getting pretty fantasy now aren’t we!
2nd image of the Solhovda Campaign has been printed.
The second image to come from this campaign is now in print and online.
This Kitchen themed image plays on interactivity between the subjects and the owl coming through the window.
Each image in this series uses animals as a gimmick to sell the location of the cabins, done in a smart and cheeky way.

The long awaited website for Jean-Paul Fung (JP) will be launching at the end of Feb. I have been working closely with JP over the last couple of months and a very exciting and innovative site has been developed.
Jean-Paul (JP) has emerged as one of the most sought after Music Producer/Engineers in Australia after having worked with huge names such as Birds of Tokyo, Little Red, Leader Cheetah, Last Dinosaurs, Silverchair, Bluejuice, Josh Pyke, Phrase, Mahalia Barnes and Trial Kennedy.
Re-branding and Print Collateral
A fresh new look was employed to give the Moving & Storage giants Pedemonts a new face in the 2011/2012 market.
A photoshoot on premises at the Sydney headquarters started things off then a complete print re-brand and re-design came next. A refaced logo with a new stamp gave us wider design capabilities for the variety of media formats and applications.
A new range of Print material put them back to business with a fresh new look.
H U F F Design & Imaging has come to an end after 3 years of production.
Huff was a collaborative creative studio that combined the imaging skills of Grant Keats and the creative design-prowess of Benjamin Tuffy.
Both Grant and Ben are relocating to Europe and have decided to end the successful Australian based venture.
During the 3 year period H U F F produced a scope of work across various platforms.
Some samples of their work is below:-
Black and White Panoramic Landscape Images

Shot on 35mm film. With a Hasselblad Xpan, rangefinder panoramic camera.
For the third year, It was great to see the return business of the Hopkins Group.
Excited, and with a bigger budget we were able to step up the production and styling on Marco Polo. The Capital M shoot was undertaken in the clients basement on the day, this was a budget friendly approach and gave a rawness and creative depth to the Capital M fashion range. The Sirroco shoot was kept modern and contemporary.

My last trip to Norway I took some snaps up north in Lofoten.
Lofoten is in the Arctic circle and is an archipelago. The landscape up there is damn impressive.
It is known for its fishing of Cod and has been a whaling port in the past.
Check out the field of dried Cod heads on the 2nd image, creepy but cool.
When mimicking film grains and adding the final grade to your images there are many grain and texture emulators out there.
But ‘Alas, you don’t need them if you know the right techniques.
A simple technique to add an ‘editable’ film grain is laid out step-by-step for you below.
• Make new layer
• Fill with 50% black (Edit> Fill> 50% Black)
• Set layer mode to Soft Light
• Convert layer to Smart Object (ctrl click layer)
• Filter> Add noise (20% – Can edit value later)
• Filter> Gaussian blur (0.25 pixels – Can edit value later)
Balinese Monkeys
My last trip to bali i snapped some Monkeys just hanging out at a very picturesque tourist spot – thought the shots were quite cute so I will share them.
