GEAR!!!
New website, new look, new photos…and sort of new gear!
Beautiful views over Lake Tahoe, California.
Travelling is fast becoming something I have experienced much more of in the past 6 months. I have travelled before with family and a few times by myself but in October 2015, I set of with my mum to Japan for two weeks, came back for less than 48 hours and left on a minimum 12 month trip to America and possibly other locations around the world. Therefore, packing light enough to have everything I need as well as the things I want (camera gear…) became very important and the camera gear I decided to purchase before leaving Australia became vital too.
The gear I purchased before leaving was an upgrade to the first camera that I owned (a Nikon D3200 twin lens kit - I still have it!) and was a huge, huge step into creating a more professional setup and higher quality images. Everything I own as far as camera gear goes will fit into one bag - the Lowepro Protactic 450AW. This thing is a beast and fits (almost) all the following:

Want me to keep going? The point is, photography can be as simple or as complex as one makes it. I keep it fairly simple and pack light so I can continue to travel and make the images I love and share these with as many people as I can.
Any questions, contact us.
Peace.
