Great weekend spent at Photowest 2023 hosted by NEPG Always enjoy listening to Mark Brierley and Alex Cearns… highlight was meeting, listening to and being a light assistant for (def adding to the resume!) the wonderful Forough Yavari 👌🏼😁
Talk about knowing your craft. We were enthralled with the highest of end fashion/fine-art portraiture with packaging material and wrapping paper 😳. Amazing to meet the artist behind images you’ve followed in awe for many, many years… and one of the most humble.
Thanks to NEPG for the invite to speak and host workshops; to Ben, Mike and Team Digital and Matt, Tony and PROtog for the support and general hang time… and a huge thanks to Chiharu for agreeing to sit for the portrait workshop this morning - expanding the groups knowledge on Kendo (Chiharu is WA’s only 7th Dan)and Kyudo (Japanese Archery). Full of strength, movement and grace.

BCA hold an annual BioImages visual media competition, featuring some pretty stunning work ranging from the pure (and VERY detailed) clinical image; to 3D animation; to the most beautiful microscopic images (the medical equivalent to the aerial landscape!).
Entered for the first time this year with some fine art portraits featuring hospital related subjects or images from my series featuring historical objects/equipment from the RPH Museum.
Stoked to come away with the Premier Award in the ‘Still Image Division | Personal Work’ with this image of the maestro himself , Mr - titled “Señor Lopez” - with a few other images receiving Images of Merit 👍🏼

The resulting quick studio lighting shoot and edits from the Manjimup Portrait Workshop last weekend... featuring .corbett.design.photography as lighting test subject ; ) - and some of the crew who attended the workshop.

02/07/2022

It's been a week since heading back down to Manjimup with legend offsider .corbett.design.photography to host a natural light and studio portrait workshop in collaboration with the Southern Forests Photography Club and the - in conjunction with the last day of the Depth of Field: Exploring Minds, Hearts and Voice Exhibition.
It was a fresh morning (understatement!), but the sun was out (as pre-ordered by organiser ; ) and we found some awesome spots throughout the Manjimup Heritage Park to practice shooting portraits in all sorts of light. A highlight for me was seeing the kids who came along shooting... Georgia, Harrison .harrison and Jade all had a natural eye for composition. Special thanks to Harley and Abby for modelling for us - we promised we'd all be there for their wedding in November as wedding photographers.
Then back to the Art Gallery for an afternoon of simple studio lighting setups with some editing and printing. Thanks to those brave enough to sit for a portrait during the session!

A huge thanks to Bruce Williams and , Kym Peacock and .r.kennedyimaging & Ben Walton and for your continued support, equipment and especially the giveaways. Everyone left with a huge smile on their face : )

Thanks for the BTS photos Kel Corbett
Some studio portrait edits from the day to follow.

Looking forward to getting back down there again to host the Portraiture Workshop that coincides with the closing of the Exhibition on Sunday 26th June 🤘🏼

Really looking forward to joining the effervescent and on the morning of Saturday 9th April for an indepth look into some of my portraiture work and the creative process behind it.
I’ll be offering a heap of ideas for everyone to take away in terms of thinking (more) creatively or pushing your creativity further - with plenty of examples from personal projects and collaborations I’ve worked on over the years.

It should be an awesome event with an open floor for questions, discussion and ideas 🤙🏼
…and Belle is opening a limited number of spots to any general public that are keen to join her Camera Queens for this!
Here’s the link for those that may be interested:

Can’t wait to share some work, some ideas, and some passion for photographing people - especially some recent collaborations around Mental Health and some of the most amazing people I’ve met through it… 😊🤙🏼

When people ask you what you do, and you tell them you're a Medical Photographer.
"Huh? ...what is that?!"

Well this is what it is ; )
Enjoy an insight into the Royal Perth Bentley Group Medical Multimedia Design Dept (formerly Medical Illustrations) and how we have grown the Dept from a purely clinical photography and graphic design service into a far broader scope of operations for Royal Perth Hospital and the East Metropolitan Health Service
(keep a look out too for a cameo appearance from our very awesome RPBG Executive Director, Dr Lesley Bennett)

Proud of the team - Ralph Baker, Carol Diver, James Goodchild, Rach Weir, Meg Frizelle, Celeste Dean, Nick Dudman, Dsgns

(Note: no videographers were (too seriously) injured in the making of this.)

Deb was a good mate of mine back in the days of studying Architecture at UWA... it’s been years between drinks, but felt like nothing had changed at all 😌
Except now we can do this.
Self-designed wedding dresses of course (including her own self-confessed “Winter Soldier” sleeve 🤘🏼).
