2024 TAFE NSW Art Prize.

I had the privilege of capturing the TAFE NSW State Art Prize, an event celebrating the creative excellence of emerging artists across New South Wales. Hosted at the prestigious Newcastle Art School, the evening brought together artists, educators, industry professionals, and art enthusiasts to recognise outstanding talent honing their craft at various TAFE arts campuses across the state.

I focused on capturing candid interactions, guest engagements, and the emotional highs of the winners, ensuring a vibrant and immersive visual record of the event.

Goosey Sports

Josh from Goosey Sports came to me with a simple brief-showcase my apparel so it looks great. Josh sent me a board of inspiration images, and trusted me to share his vision for how he wanted the gear he curates for sports teams across New South Wales to look.

To ensure that rollout for the social media platforms Josh uses was seamless, the images were delivered in several formats for not only speedy downloading, but to make sure the gear looks great for reels and portrait mode in Instagram (full body shots were also provided for that 16:9 aspect ratio)
