PhotoGuides

It’s been a fairly intense month, but I’m pleased to say that I’ve now finished my exams thereby completing my high school education. More importantly though, it’s good to be back and finally have some time to spend on PhotoGuides.

As I write this I’ve been awake for over 42 hours, and needless to say I’m a little bit tired. Over the past two days my life has taken on the biggest transformation that I could ever have imagined. I’ve graduated from High School and it seems that I’m too tired to quite realise it.

Synergy is a short documentary I’ve created which looks into the Toyota Prius and its Hybrid technology. It reviews the car and the philosophy behind it, and reveals the truth about this controversial Hybrid technology.

In this post, I speak of the journey that is my photography and how every time you push that little button on your camera, years of pain, frustration, care, craftsmanship, knowledge and passion are expressed by whatever goes through your lens.

Through my whole 18 days in South Africa I can honestly say that, despite the plague of poverty, I didn’t interact with a single person without a smile on their face. Everyone we spoke to showed expressions of love and joy, and this all comes down to one simple thing. They live and act with heart.

The Simunye Project is a community service based experience designed to empower young Australians with the skills and mindset needed to make a global difference. Simunye 3096 is an awe inspiring time lapse of my experience showing 3096 photos in 5 minutes, with very emotional results.

The desert is an incredible place. Never had I imagined that such simplicity could posses beauty in so many shapes, lights and forms. This photograph here is definitely one of my favorites from the broken hill expedition, not only for the way it turned out, but also because of the processes I took to try and get this photo exactly the way I planned.
