Find Your Reason. โค๏ธ
It was an absolute privilege to capture this first look at the brand new TPลMA War Memorial Community Centre in Balclutha, New Zealand.
Two days of shooting alongside the wonderful Rewa Pene Photography - amounted to hours of high-quality content that the centre can use in future to promote its unique facility. (We also threw together this snazzy campaign reel.)
Thank you to all the wonderful Clutha locals who participated in the shoot and the TPลMA team for being so hospitable!

Spotlight on Mihan Aromatics Munlark Ash
Take a peek at our latest campaign with Mihan Aromatics!
Spotlight on Munlark Ash, an arboreal, nostalgic scent which will transport you to an undisturbed clearing amongst an evergreen of fir, cypress and moody skies at dawn.
Cruelty-free and vegan-certified. Designed and developed, hand filled and assembled in Melbourne.
With such an exquisite and delightful aesthetic, this project was a real favourite of ours. A joint collaboration of footage captured by yours truly and Traianos Pakioufakis, who shot the original campaign filmography. The Commute then produced a number of shorts for paid social media placements, which were delivered by our friends at Buttr Marketing.

Take a peek at our latest campaign with Mihan Aromatics
Mihan Aromatics is an Australian perfume house based out of Melbourne. They produce a curated selection of contemporary androgynous parfums that evoke memory through scent. They honour Australian native ingredients in their complete collection of scents and are ever committed to showcasing Australian botanicals to an international stage.

The Commute was engaged to film additional product videography to complement original campaign footage captured by the very talented Traianos Pakioufakis.
