BRISBANE PHOTOGRAPHY | BEFORE AND AFTER MY PERSONAL WORK

A couple of weeks ago just before I started work I brought along my new gear of old school photography a beautiful Hasselblad 500CM. I roam around the city scape finding places that had characters that would tell the story of Brisbane and the people that worked in the city.

BRISBANE PHOTOGRAPHY | NIKON F3HP MY JOURNEY

My journey into what I have love and grown with passion in the fine art of wedding and portrait photography started very early in my life. My parents are creative people, my mum's loved of being around kids as a group leader in the child care industry, was always involved with painting, drawing, story telling and mostly having fun. On the other hand my dad was an aerial photographer, navigator and a pilot. So when my dad went on a field work he would be loading large film canister and I would be watching him do this every time. You see this was when we lived on a tropical island of Papua New Guinea (PNG) for short. I grew up in Port Moresby with my two other sibling brothers, went to school, played tennis and had the best time growing up before we all decided to immigrate to Brisbane, Australia where I now call it home.

And so that is were it all started. And my very first film camera to start my journey was and still the only best camera equipment from Nikon was the Nikon F3 I on the other hand I have the Nikon F3 HP which is a manual camera. it is coupled with the MD-4 motor drive and it is cased with the Semi Soft Leather Case CF-22D it is build like a tank once you connect the MD-4 and the Flash Unit which is the SB-27. I also have the original Camera Case CF-23D. Throughout this journey my camera has seen far and wide fromthe most romantic City of Light, Paris on the Eiffel Tower overlooking the Seine River. The Clock Tower, commonly know as Big Ben the gothic castle of Praha in Czech or Pargue where the movie Van Helsing was filmed.

You ask why? well my camera and I have lived in the United Kingdom, old London Town for 4 years and I could list the cities and places I have seen in Europe, North Africa, and USA. But that is another story and images to show. Before digital came along in my journey I love to shoot with film and I still do because you can never forget your first love. The first love of film is something special because it had that look and feel, the character of these little image on a strip of negative as you hold it against the light or looking through a loupe. As i had shot places around the world and not knowing what the final photograph was going to turn out I was like a kid in a candy store waiting with anticipation from your local lab and just like opening a present at christmas time or even birthday that the image from a film as still very special.

I still continued to shoot with film with passion and I hope you come along for the ride and here is my companion from the beginning of my journey...

BRIDE'S DIARY PUBLICATION | WICKED IDEA DESIGN + PHOTOGRAPHY GOES LIVE ON PRINT

Last year 2010 was a very exciting year for Wicked Idea Design + Photography. It was the first time that we had advertised in a national publication such as Bride's Diary. Our space in the publication was a full page advertisement and it was the best feeling as we waited with anticipation as the publication was placed at selected news stand around Queensland and Brisbane. Having seen the publication a courier rang the door bell and we were greeted with a box full of 30 copies of the Bride's Diary. Here is some of the photographs of our publication space.

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BODY BUILDING COMPETITION

Over the years I have followed the sport of body building held every year in capital cities around Australia. These are some of my personal interest not only as a wedding photographer but other medium in capturing the essence of photography regardless of the subject matter and bring out the aspect of beauty and form.

My passion in sport began at an early stage having come from an atlethic family background. But also through my siblings of brothers whom the well being of health and fitness are a integral part of everyones lives. These are some of the many people whom I have come across in photographing their dedication of growth and at the same time become friends at every competition. If you are interested and like what you see from these photograph during the competition, please make a booking via email on jason@wickedidea.com.au or give me a call on 0417 260 734 as we are running an event photography session. In the mean time here is a sneak peek of the day. The photographs you are about to see are Ben, Nelson my brother, and Graig these guys are inspiration in their own right but you see they are all have something in common they are State and National champions in their own weight divisions. More photography to come.
