City of Gold Coast

I recently worked with Jono Drapes and Simon Buutveld at Junior in creating some images for the City of Gold Coast to launch the Gold Coast Full Stop campaign.

We set out to make scenes that typify life in the city, from the hinterland to the ocean. It was personally special for me to be involved as I call the Coast home and have been able to watch it grow and develop into a great place to live.

Thanks to the City Council and all the talent, as well as everyone at Junior plus the team of Michelle, Natasha, Kat, Nicole and Josh who helped pull this project together. Retouching was by the amazing Justin Overell

 

 

Australand “Be Swept Up in the Story” Campaign

We worked with the Melbourne & Queensland teams at Smart to put together a series of fashion-inspired images for Australand. Over 4 days we set out to tell an inner city story of romance, elegance, & timeless beauty with an urban feel.

Huge thanks to my producer Kat Cooke, the crew & everyone who worked tirelessly in the hot sun to make these images.

These are out now in outdoor media

Brisbane Bandits – Bigger & Badder

Worked with Art Directors Jim Strachan and Steve Schollum on a new campaign for the Brisbane Bandits baseball team.

Each year the Aussie players overseas come back over the break and a national competition is played in the capital cities over the summer.

Jim and Steve worked off the Bandit’s theme and came up with outlaw messages to tie back to the sport of baseball and we shot wanted poster-inspired mugshots of players.

Look out for these around the city this week
