Commercial work for Queensland Professional Photography Awards

At the 2019 Queensland Epson Professional Photography Awards, I was fortunate enough to be one of the finalists in the Commercial division. (Congratulations to the maestro himself Mark Duffus. I’m coming for you Mark!) Very excited to be able to submit commissioned work in to the Commercial category!

The pieces I submitted in my portfolio of four images were from the Queensland Theatresports Championships, Love Hurts, Around the Campfire, and Titanic The Movie The Play.

One little hiccup… For the original poster for Love Hurts, the tinder-like images were all supplied by Kat and Emily’s friends, so they needed to be replaced with photographs that I shot. With the gracious permission of some of our clients, and particular assistance from the most excellent Brisbane Arts Theatre, all of the images were swapped out for new (and generally cringeworthy) versions. That pulled it out of the Commissioned subcategory and over to Self-Commissioned, but that’s ok.

Actually, a second hiccup… For the original Queensland Theatresports Championships artwork, I used a lot of stock photography to turn the image around quickly for the client. I replaced all of that stock with nearly identical self-shot versions for the commercial piece.
