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
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
Here’s a neat little Behind the Scenes vid we shot during the Be Yourself shoot for Broadway on the Mall.
Props to Orien Zuyderhoff – Gray for the footage and Josh Maguire for the edit
Did a fun little shoot with my friends at Laundry Group for Broadway on the Mall. The images were used in a neat little mini-mag, as well as in campaign posters and billboards.
Woke up to the news this morning that my personal project Old Man MMA had been selected by the Behance Network to be featured on it’s “Photography Served” page.
Curator Oscar Ramos Orozco in his email said: “Hello Kenny, Congratulations!

Our editorial team features only a small number of projects every day. With many thousands to choose from, we look for work that promotes new thinking in its industry.”
Thanks for the encrouagement Behance! High Fives!
Congratulations to Tate Smith for winning GOLD in the K4 1000 event! Here’s my portrait of him from last year.
Shot some high end Hospitality images with Art Director Phillipa Burke for advertising agency Smart.
We used 10 talent from Reeder Models, a heap of lighting and coloured gels to create dark nightlife scenes during our 2 day shoot.
A couple weeks ago I was able to complete a project that was in the pipeline for some time. I had this story in my head with 2 elderly guys set in the brutal sport of MMA or Mixed Martial Arts.
I was discussing it one evening with good friend and art director Mike Fritz and after about a year finally everything came together and we were able to shoot it.
I have to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who was involved, First of all to Mike my co-conspirator and art director, my team of Josh Maguire and his assistants, special effects makeup by Sharon Robbins from ARC, styling by Michelle Michaelson and of course the amazing cast of Hugh, Stewart, Daisy, Tom, and Liam. Last but not least to the amazing venue which is a working MMA gym Phoenix Elite MMA and Conditioning, thank you!
Without any more ado, here it is………Old Man MMA
There’s often this moment in a shoot, the minute you realize you’ve done what you and the client have set out to do and the rest is just gravy. Shit can get pretty weird after that, but in a good way, cray cray, but good.
I was shooting Cleve Hughes from Viviens for the Broadway on the Mall campaign a while ago, and that moment happened.
