Better late than never
About this time last year Rob and I popped down the street to the Red Meets Blue offices to photograph their interior fitout. At the time, Rob said, “These images would make a great blog post.” Then we forgot about it – until yesterday. I rediscovered these whilst trawling our back catalogue for the past year for a…
2012 Black Swan Programme
Dog knows why but we’ve been a bit slow off the mark mentioning this work. It’s the second year we’ve been involved with Black Swan State Theatre Company. Once again we worked with the crack team; Geoff Bickford and Ester Lee from Dessein and Nancy Hackett from Black Swan. As per, the work presented us with plenty…
Added an Instagram Feed
S’all about the feeding at Acorn. Mostly it’s just us gorging ourselves on the finest that Jean Claude has to offer. Lately We’ve addicted ourselves rather thoroughly to the ice-creams of the mind that everybody’s favourite startup, Instagram, has on the menu. Everything about Instagram images engages the most rockin’ of our sensibilities – Nostalgia.…
Introducing Mr. Smith
Perhaps you’ve already met. Darren’s been with us on a casual basis for just over a year. Having now passed the crucial and gruelling Acorn tests; file prep quality, tea prep quality and ECM (it’s a label, look it up) jazz comprehension he’s joined us full time. To the right is an image of the…
Farewell Adrian
It’s been two weeks since we said goodbye to Adrian and now that we’ve nearly recovered it’s about time that we shared a few details for those of you that couldn’t make it and to say thanks to those that dropped by. We threw Adrian an ol’ fashioned studio party with a great mix of…
Adrian Lambert buggers off
Bad news folks; Adrian is leaving us. It’s nothing personal (or so he assures me!) rather an alignment of family factors that is too hard to ignore. And timing is of the essence, he and Helen are heading back to Blighty ahead of the birth of their second child. Adrian has been with us for…
Get the Scoop on 2020
…Had a cherry of a shoot a few weeks ago and really wanted to share it. Now that the Spring edition of Scoop is hot off the press, I’m able to lift the lid on what was a blindingly fun series of sessions with some of Western Australia’s finest thinkers and do-ers. These and a…
shout, shout, let it all out
Been a while since we’ve had the energy to send an email blast. We’ve launched a new website and switched to a new blast provender since we did it last. And we’ve been filling in our spare time doing a spot of photography too! Watching the stats come in for a relatively little campaign reminds…
Our Feedburner account

Spread Eagle
Friendly neighbours West Coast Eagles‘, Nic Natanui, Daniel Kerr and Dean Cox seem to enjoy their photo sessions with us dispite those macho glares. In celebration of their 25 years in the game we upped sticks and toured our studio across the road for their 2011 catalogue shoot.
AIA WA Chapter Awards 2011
Around the middle of June every year the occupants of the nuthouse start sitting a little closer to the edges of their seats. It’s awards time, specifically the Australian Institute of Architects Awards time. All the buildings we’ve fallen in love with since this time last year have been judged by the peers of their…
Get hungry! Perth Dining in print
The Jet Set will have already noticed Robert’s photos of Greenhouse and Pata Negra in Qantas The Australian Way this month. Qantas’ award winning inflight magazine is running a Peter Forrestal penned piece on the current cream of Perth’s restaurants.
Tim Winton in print
Rob’s portraits of Tim Winton ran in the West Weekend last Saturday. Tim’s first play, presented by Black Swan opens at the State Theatre Centre on June 25 – more here
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…
Spreading 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…
Mad as Cut Snakes
There is always a simpler way of doing things. Sometimes it ain’t pretty but the further you are from the city, the less it seems to matter. In the “build-up” to the wet season in the Kimberley the days are long, hot and humid. Like the morning after a biggish night it’s kind of OK…
6012.55 km
Most of the photos I’ve taken whilst pedalling my way round Perth this year have been of utes parked in cycle lanes and paths. A few have been of cars. I thought it might be nice to stop at my 6000th kilometre for 2010 and see what else I could come up with.
Sneak peek at the Anna Gare Cookbook shoot
Yesterday was our second last day shooting food for Anna Gare’s cookbook, which will be published by Fremantle Press next year. MZ and I have been pacing our tastings v.carefully. The kitchen crew have been largely abstaining from anything but coffee and cake! Here’s a little appetiser – watch out for the whole bookful of…
Day 3 Anna Gare cookbook shoot
Working with Ursula and Anna on Anna’s book this week (and a bit of next week and even a bit of the week after). Pressure’s on, shoot wraps for the day and the cooks are making a list prior to heading out for tomorrow’s supplies.
Last Muster at Park Farm
My folks have lived at Park Farm for the best part of 50 years. We spent a couple of days there to be a part of their last shearing before they move; they sold the farm just over a week ago. This photo is from the last muster of woolly wethers after the shearers knocked…
