Jen’s brief did include the deep etched product shots that you would expect to see on […]
I was looking forward to Christmas just past. A chance to travel ‘home’ to the farm in beautiful Nowendoc, NSW where I grew up; to breathe the fresh mountain air, to see my family, and to meet the newest member of our family, Li’l Miss Chelsea.
I just couldn’t resist the chance to photograph this very […]
