Kevin Rudd and friends


I was recently fortunate enough to have been hired by the Prime Ministers office to photograph it's Social Inclusion Board's first meeting at the Global Learning Centre in Broadmeadows, along with special guests Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.
It was a really great experience, I hadn't done any corporate portraits before so no better place to start than with the Prime Minister of Australia!
I received an email the next day thanking me for my calm manner under pressure, and the quick photography that didn’t impose on people’s time (one of the most important issues of the brief was time).
I'm unable to put the portraits online due to a confidentiality clause, but I was also hired by the Hume council to take some candid shots of the special guests taking a tour of the Centre including morning tea, and these photos are not covered by the clause.


I think I will do some similiar corporate style portraits that I can put online to try and get more of this sort of work... I think it may be time to expand.
I'm also going to offer a more affordable kids portrait session, something quicker and easier, while continuing to offer the fuller service that I currently do.
