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 came to me with a simple request-showcase some of the apparel I distribute to sports teams across NSW. Josh sent me a mood board and trusted me to execute his vision for the gear. The Images were delivered in sets formatted for the social media Josh uses (Instagram, Facebook and his website) so they look great across the board.
