And THAT’S a wrap! Last shoot for 2024 with one of my absolute favourites.

We’ve been working together for quite a few years. It’s so awesome to evolve alongside my clients. Helping explore and express their newest version/ vision of themselves.

Setting the standard of visual communication… especially in industries where it isn’t ‘expected’.

Images that project effortless presence, purpose and personality.

This has been an unbelievable year - both the highs and the lows. But I’ve never been more proud of the direction I’m headed. And I’m suuuper excited for the next stage of my own evolution in 2025.

We just moved to Red Hill (Brisbane) about a week ago… aaaaand guess who has a new home studio?!

I’m super excited to have a little play space where I can do some different things like products and even really simple headshots.

Anyone interested in a super straightforward LinkedIn-style headshot?
No big production.
You come in ready to shoot.
And we spend some time crafting a beautifully meaningful expression…

Comment below or DM if you’re interested!

Asking for Help: Introduction to PR Agencies

Hey LinkedIn fam! It's getting to the point where the level of production and results that I'm known for needs to be pointed at bigger projects and more high profile people on a global stage.

So I'm interested in collaborating with some new PR agencies doing "real PR" work for significant companies/ people/ teams doing important work, and I'd love some warm introductions.

(I'm specifically AVOIDING the Fashion/ Beauty/ Lifestyle/ Influencer space. That's all very pretty, but just not my thing.)

I'm only considering working with Agencies that are fully aligned, so I always start new conversations with my Vision & Values Alignment Guide - https://bit.ly/VisionValuesAlignmentGuide-SuperpowerPartners

DM here, connect via LinkedIn, or email [email protected]

Thanks in advance!!

I have been in the middle of a pretty significant biz transformation lately... I've been working to FULLY transition into a Vision & Values-based style of communication around my business - and completely away from any hint of a Transaction-based model.

So I just had to share a rather common (but still somehow totally mind-blowing) enquiry that came through yesterday.

It was the classic "How much does it cost and what do I get" type of enquiry... you know, that old chestnut. But the results were totally different this time.

I've included screenshots of the whole 6-part conversation, removing all the names except my own.

I think the most interesting feature (aside from her stunningly poor communication skills) is how a FULLY Values based approach leads DIRECTLY to a "hell yes" or a "hell no".

It was such an effortless, smooth, clean, honest, simple win/win (although she may not perceive it that way at the moment).

Whereas before I would have really struggled to explain or justify why we are truly different. In the past I would have tried to explain that I'm a real 'specialist'.... and this is 'more than photography'... or whatever I could have come up with.

And in the end, I would have gotten stuck... and probably just engaged with her where she's at... allowing her to dictate and control the conversation.

But now - with the tools that I have... having done all of this deep differentiation work is pure freaking magic.... I'm actually communicating my skillset in a COMPLETELY different way than I had before - even though it's still "photography".

If you're curious to have a look, here's the link to my brand-spanking-new Vision & Values Alignment Guide (client version... I have a slightly different one for partners) - I'm very proud and it's already doing the good work.

Please steal this. Use it as a template. Make your own Vision & Values Alignment Guide.

You'll never look back. I promise.

The latest episode of The Politics of Everything just dropped... and guess who's on it! Me!

Amber Daines Ungar is such a pro interviewer. I had the best time chatting with her. So check it out!

This is NOT really about 'photography' or 'personal branding' or 'amplifying your leadership positioning' or whatever lukewarm topics are usually addressed by photographers.

This IS about mastering Communication itself... And how to completely change the quality of conversations you're having with your audience by starting to Communicate your unique vision & value in 3D.

I guarantee you've never heard a "photographer" speak like this before...

Enjoy!

My people are the ones who dare to let themselves SHINE THROUGH...

Shine through their masks...
their job title...
the boxes life tries to stuff us into...
the stories we tell the world to fit in... to be wanted... to belong.

The ones who shine through the fog of indifference that we use to 'shield' ourselves from the noise all around us...

The ones who have something important to say...
something valuable to share...
something more to give.

Today's the Day!

If you're going to you might wanna check me out!

My talk has nothing to do with photography or "personal branding"...

It's ALL about Differentiation... Communicating your distinct Vision & Value in a way that simply can not be copied.

Because any time we can communicate in a way that makes people FEEL something is how we win the game of attention and significance in the hearts and minds of our audience.

I'll be on stage Thursday 12th, sharing "Tragic to Magic - How to Differentiate Yourself and Your Biz in a Sea of Sameness"

See you there!

I ask everyone I work with these days… “How do you want to show up?
Who are you REALLY?”

It blows my mind how often we settle for less… How small we tend to project ourselves… Or how utterly unfamiliar we are with our deeper selves or the vision of what’s even possible.

Even when people reach in to pull out the qualities that matter most, too many people come up with “confident”. That’s BORING and so one-dimensional.

Why ‘display confidence’ when you can Embody Certainty?

I hear “strong” a lot. But that’s such a sh*tty goal. Why would we aim for ‘strong’ when Powerful is so much more significant and meaningful?

And if I hear “approachable” one more time I’ll scream. It’s such a trash word with zero resonance or feeling. It’s such a low bar to set.

How about showing up so the people who matter most actually Identify with you??

Why do we seem to automatically aspire to such mediocre expression of who we really are??

What ever happened to “shooting for the stars and at least hitting the moon”?

Confident and Strong and Approachable are barely above sea level.

I work with people who can imagine something grand… something profound… something elemental.

The work we can do together is truly Visionary. That’s what I’m here to create.

If I’m being completely honest, there’s probably a lot I take for granted.

I’d like to remember to be present enough to feel the gratitude more often…

But there’s one thing that I NEVER EVER take for granted.

TRUST

The trust that people put in me to help them communicate something meaningful… something powerful.. something honest and real while making it look effortless.

I know how scary that is. I know what it means to put all your faith in someone, hoping beyond hope that maybe this time it’ll work.

It’s a huge responsibility to help people communicate their identity. I do not take that lightly.

I’m a pretty bold guy with a fairly healthy ego. But the trust that my clients give me humbles me every time.

HOW can I start to Communicate in 3D?

It seems to me that the whole process it's a lot like being in the water. I remember the first time I snorkelled, I struggled. It was weird... kind of mini gasping for breaths, not fully trusting myself or the situation.

It didn't take long, but once I got comfortable with that (still being fully on the surface - actually breathing the air - but starting to see what was beneath), I started to get a different sense of what's possible.

And then it became more like free diving. In the beginning I could only go so far... could only hold my breath so long. And going much below the surface was a struggle.

After some practice, I could do it better and it wasn't as hard. I still couldn't go too deep (or too long) but the experience itself had changed.

The need to keep coming up to the surface where you can breathe is of course 100% necessary. So I put Skillset at the top (above the water where "real life" happens).

We can't live in the depths, spending all our time down there... belly button gazing as they say here in Oz!

But having spent some time diving the tiniest bit deeper or longer... Or simply experiencing the same depth/time under just a tiny bit differently... I'd find that my understanding/ experience on the surface was shifting...

Put differently - It's not so much about the "depth" itself as it is the familiarity and comfort in that place.

Being more Aware of (familiar with) my Mindset...
Allowed me to go deeper and become more Aligned with (in touch with) my Heartset...
Meant that every time I came back to the "surface" I was able to Communicate my Skillset differently, better.

I was having too many conversations that started with “How much does it cost and what do I get?”, and it was driving me crazy, but I didn’t know what to do about it.

I knew what I wanted…

I wanted to have better conversations.

I wanted to attract more fully aligned clients.

I wanted to connect with people on a deeper level.

And ultimately, I wanted to figure out a way to position myself as a ‘Category of One’ .

When I say “Category of One” I’m NOT saying “I am the only one out there and everyone else sucks.”...

I’m just talking about proper Differentiation… Communicating my distinct Vision & Value in a way that simply could not be copied.

But how??

We all offer roughly the same service. We all have more or less the same technical skills. We all charge rather similar prices. We all include roughly the same deliverables.

Sound familiar?

All I knew for sure was that I had to stop communicating like every other photographer out there if I didn’t want to be “just another photographer”.

I’m launching the SuperpowerU pilot program tomorrow.

It’s time to start communicating in 3D.

How cool is this??

Ben Nash - Australia's MOST FOLLOWED financial advisor. He's a great dude and pretty much the opposite of how "you'd expect" a financial advisor to show up.

I've been photographing him (and his team) for years, and for his 3rd book he finally made the jump to Front Cover! Super huge congrats for the book AND for staying true to yourself and showing up authentically.

“The one with the most certainty wins.”

It seems to me that the ones who communicate with the most certainty are the ones we trust/ believe/ follow/ buy from/ share…

And if we are effectively communicating in 3D, how do we use our nonverbal body language to convey laser-guided levels of Certainty?

I’m not even talking about portraits here…

I’m talking about All. The. Time.

Do you actually know how you hold yourself? How you’re perceived?

How much do you actually drive your own body language?? Or do you let it just happen?

How much time/ attention/ money/ effort/ care have you spent crafting and curating OVER HALF of your overall communication??

Or are you just letting it run on autopilot, never giving it a moment’s notice… much less intentionally learning and leveraging it?

It’s crazy!

We can spend all the money in the world on the right clothes and cars…

We can spend all the time in the world crafting the most precise words…

We can do a million things to position ourselves “the right way”…

And it can all be undone in an instant.

By holding ourselves in a frame that does not convey the Certainty we need to communicate if we are going to have real influence.

That’s actually one of the most powerful parts of a real portrait process. You get to see yourself reflected back to you in ways you’d never imagine.

And most of it is hideous!

But it’s such a gift because you get to actually do and feel your way into powerful, meaningful body language.

You have the opportunity to Physicalise and Test what you mean to convey.

What are your feet doing? Did you even know your feet unconsciously betray your face and everything you want to communicate?

How far can you tilt your own head before a meaningful look of ‘curiosity/ interest’ turns into pure confusion, portraying a credibility deficit?

Where do your shoulders go to make your expression effortless?

THIS is COMMUNICATING in 3D!!

Learning and leveraging our own body language should be a priority… whether it’s on camera or in real time.

Because when people start to “get it” in the middle of a portrait session, I see their Certainty go through the roof.

And when you can literally start to EMBODY that Certainty you start communicating on a whole new level… both on camera and in person.
