Recent Work
State Theatre Centre of WA
A mind-numbingly intense start to 2011 has been offset by the great projects we’ve been involved in. New client Kerry Hill Architects kicked off our relationship with a fantastic commission, photographing the new and entirely spectacular State Theatre Centre of Western Australia. This new building is the cornerstone of the state government’s makeover of the…
Read MoreSpreading green goodness with Josh Byrne
We first came across “JB” a few years back whilst working for Gardening Australia Magazine. Our work was capturing the essence of the TV pieces for the print publication. Anyone who has worked alongside a film crew will know that the photographer is way way down the food chain and must patiently wait their turn for…
Read MoreBlack Swan 2011 Season Programme
The funnest shoot I’ve done all year is how I’ve been characterising the work we’ve just finished for Black Swan State Theatre Company. The whole thing was a gas from start to finish. I really loved working with Geoff Bickford and Esther Lee from Dessein again and meeting new clients Nancy and Kate from Black…
Read MoreOn the black art of wine bottle photography
Reflective objects. Some photographers love them. Some love them a little less.Every bottle is a lens and a mirror all at once. Photographing lenses and mirrors comes with its own set of special challenges. Transmissive reflective objects really sort the sheep from the goats! Reflections of the photographer’s workspace, whether that be the studio or…
Read MoreAfternoon shoot at Zekka
We reckon it’s one of the best retail interiors in Perth, a beautifully executed balancing act; some corners feel as though the tradies have just downed tools for smoko (there’s no sense that they’re coming back though). The shoe and bag rooms have a strangely timeless private museum vibe, you know, the sort of private…
Read MoreMoombaki Wines
The pace of life in cool climate wine country always seems a little more relaxed than that of their cousins on the coast. The merits of relaxed briefs are open for debate but amongst friends we feel it is only to be encouraged. David and Melissa Boughey at Moombaki Wines were introduced to us by…
Read MoreAmana Living
Adrian’s shoot supporting a rebranding campaign being undertaken by Braincells for Amana Living (formerly Anglican Homes) needed a photographer who could be sensitive to the needs of an aged care facility whilst delivering the creative goods. Amana is a care and service provider for people living the second half of life. As a part of…

With latest fashions and accessories, unique specialty stores and fab food outlets, Forrest Chase was looking to promote itself as providing the ultimate shopping experience in the heart of the City of…
Read MoreSoDAA – Bremer Bay House
We’re horizon snobs here at Acorn Photo. It’s just that they’re not all created equal. Why the remote south coast of Western Australia should be blessed with a disproportionately large number of them is beyond us all though. We’re not alone in recognising it either. There’s a queue forming somewhere outside Albany to get a…
