Food Photography in Hobart
Quite a while ago for a short time I used to be a television director. The presenter of one of the national television programs I worked on had a great saying - "just wait until you put the dancing girls in there". What he meant was we're just creating the components...
Hobart Conference Photography
I love capturing conferences and events here in Hobart. I did a quote the other day and explained that the reason that I enjoy them so much is that they are truly interesting, fun even. And, it's always easier to work when you're having fun. Most conferences and...
