Recently, a Gold Coast Journalist associate made written reference to our client’s eyes. This gave me a visual queue for a contemporary portrait treatment…

November 2015 saw some of the world’s most accomplished change-makers of the moment converge on the Gold Coast. The inaugural Big Blue Sky event was the platform for Gold Coaster’s to hear a wide range of inspirational success stories presented by these excellent speakers. It was a great event to photograph, as I had the privilege of hearing them all while shooting!
Largely focussing on digitally disrupted industries and positive growth stories, the founders of Big Blue Sky propose a rethink, repositioning and renewal of what the Gold Coast is best known for. Silicon Beach is one of the initiatives to have come from November’s two day head-scratching and chin-rub-a-thon and you can read more about it HERE.

Recently I teamed-up with Susan Curran – a writer of exceptionally broad international experience with UNICEF, the ABC, BBC to the UN High Commission. Susan approached me to propose that we co-create what I’ll lazily term here as ‘high-brow content’ for Christine McDougall – one of Big Blue Sky’s founders. This Writer-Photographer collaboration is something that I always enjoy and Susan and I are now providing this two-prong offering to select Gold Coast and Brisbane clients as commissioned.

Susan’s article made reference to Christine’s eyes and this gave me my first visual queue for a contemporary corporate portrait treatment that would stand out from other photographer’s work…
