I often get asked what’s a good camera for starting out shooting surfing. So I thought it would be fun to borrow an entry level camera and lens from Sony Alpha AU & NZ and document a few swims with the low cost setup. I just posted a video of my experience on YouTube.

When I was initially looking around for a Power Station I found it all really confusing. Seems most of the gear out there requires a degree in electrical engineering just to work out what solar panel to pair with what power station. But with Goal Zero it’s really straight forward, easy to understand and simple to use. I didn’t even need to read the manual, it’s all just super intuitive. I also love how Goal Zero power stations have all the inputs and outputs on one side, which I reckon is essential for a camper fit-out.
I’ll be available to shoot weddings anywhere in Australia throughout the months of May - Oct 2023.

*** NEW LIGHTROOM PRESETS! ***
I like to keep my workflow as efficient as possible. One thing thing that has really helped streamline my process is creating my own Lightroom presets. I've always endeavoured to keep my photo editing clean and timeless. So I've created 3 sets of Lightroom presets to work seamlessly together and give my images a consistent aesthetic over many different genres of photography. Today I’m stoked to announce the launch of my new preset packs.
