This Wednesday 18th is National Youth Homelessness Matters Day and Kate and I were very proud to finally release our short doco “Bee’s Journey” last night for YHMD at Redfern Community Centre – how can you go wrong with popcorn, fairy floss, giant Jenga and Connect4?

This project has been six months in the making, with the support of Yfoundations and The Salvos.

Recently I’ve been impressed and inspired by the free public lectures UTS Speaks has organised in it’s newly renovated Great Hall. I attended this session last week titled Shapeshifters: The New Creatives, moderated by Hael Kobayashi with experts Professor Kees Dorst, Dr Jochen Schweitzer and Dr Joanne Jakovich – all heavyweights in their sector.

I was particularly attracted to Prof. Dorst’s intro to ‘Design Thinking’, not a new concept but not one I’m familiar with – the new way of problem solving that welcomes complexity, dynamic variables, and networked stakeholders and decisions. Here’s a footage of the entire talk:

These photos are from the newest addition to our team, events photographer Tawfik Elgazzar.

Happy hump day everyone, super excited to see the new Matrix site launch – I’ve have been waiting for it since late last year. It’s a big leap forward from their old site, and I’m happy that my photographs have contributed in their small way :)

Some screen grabs are below, and my illuminated billboards for Matrix are still up at Townhall if anyone happens to walk past. Matrix specialises in HSC tuition, and more of my work for them are here.

I dropped by Townhall this morning and took some stealthy snaps of the new Matrix Education billboards – featuring my photographs! They look great, very bright and bold, and I got a little shiver of excitement when I saw them :).

Matrix Education have several campuses around Sydney and specialise in HSC Tuition. They’ve been fantastic clients, and more of my work for them can be seen here.

More variations on a theme, this time for the lovely ladies at UTS’s central marketing unit. Photographed with plenty of space for the designers to lay text over :).

Hands up everyone whose brains have been replaced by holiday-filled mush!

Alone and super chilled in the office today – Bon Iver blasting, archiving finished jobs in prep for 2012 (nothing better than clean drives to start off the year) and looking forward to a date with Dad at the new Ikea monstrosity down the road.

Also excited about my first Muslim wedding this Friday! :)

But I’m getting ahead of myself, here’s a few recent student and graduate portraits for UTS’s Business faculty.

This is my third year photographing UTS’s annual School of Design show, and it seems to get bigger and better every year! The university has just finished a major renovation of the Great Hall, and it’s a stunning backdrop for the annual fashion show which was opened by industry icon Carla Zampatti.

At ground level a interdisciplinary exhibit was curated by Professor Lawrence Wallen, Head of the School of Design, with 40 projects displayed strategically within a flowing floorplan. New interactive element this year was a feedback wall, where visitors could write comments or just draw a picture, very fun :).

Here’s a small selection of images, can’t wait to see what the School of Design can dream up next year!

It’s been a crazy month, as it usually is before Christmas. Things are just slowing down now, which gives me a chance to blog about all the projects I just delivered, yay!

I shoot marketing photography for most of UTS’s faculties, and this year’s no different. It’s always challenging to find a new take on facilities and activities I’ve photographed before – building upgrades and new faces help of course :).

This is a small selection of images for the UTS Nursing, Midwifery and Health faculty, a both the Broadway and Kuring-gai campuses.
