This years Clipsal 500 was without a doubt a big event for Digital Realism, 40+ Aussie Racing Cars took to the concrete jungle and 40+ cars made it out the other side too. No other class at the event could say this! I love this circuit, its a bit of walking but there are so many photo points we can shoot from, producing some of the best photography for the year. Outside of the ARC cars I was also shooting a few AGT cars, plus my Dunlop series clients too, this is what made it a BIG weekend, but I had a ball. I was going to say the weather was perfect, and it was up until the final big V8Supercars race on Sunday afternoon, just before the race started they declared it a wet race, I was at turn three and thought that’s weird it wasn’t raining, well, then the heavens opened and it poured down, its the wettest I’ve ever been at a race meeting! Luckily the Canon gear stayed reasonably dry! Here are a selection of photos that made it to the Facebook page along with some that were run in Auto Action as well, both online […]

Many will know that we have just opened a brand new Photography Studio in the Forest Lake Shopping Centre Professional Suites, and over the Easter break we spent 3 days painting the new photography studio, so to kick it off we then photographed the most dirtiest product you could do, short of dirt!………..Mulch! We are quite lucky to have a great regular product photography client in Rocky Point Mulching based just south of Brisbane. checkout their website here: www.rpmulching.com.au plus they are BIG into Social Media so you can follow them on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram and more!! The Australian owed company has produced many new innovative products to date for the Australian gardening market. They also have a great YouTube channel with a stack of informative Videos! RPM have a new innovative product in coloured mulch, its amazing, the four colours have made our garden look like a rainbow, well Natural – Black – Red and Brown that is. We first photographed the new products in the new studio on the plain white background for deep etch, this is typically done for a business whom produces a catalogue or sells product through an online shop and requires a true representation of how the product […]

We needed a new logo for our Brisbane Photography Studio we are setting up in the Brisbane suburb of Forest Lake at the professional suites upstairs in the Forest Lake Village Shopping Centre (yeah our own, working space coming to fruition #wecannotwait) we really needed to get under way as embarrassingly the current two colour logo looked very outdated no longer modern or inspiring and it had to go. So we set in motion to come up with what we wanted our business to be about and align with our values for our photography business. As a Brisbane Photography business that offers website and business images to engage buyers to your brand we wanted our new logo to be catching and memorable. So between us we set about coming up with key words that we felt would portray our business values to our clients and at the same time portray a feeling and symbol that stood out. Words like fun, colourful, vibrant, modern, contemporary, futuristic with digital look, after all we are creative digital photographers. Inspired by the bigger companies such as Google and Microsoft whom show a rainbow of colours and what they represented. The bubbles behind the font mean light, fun, and the Neuropol font was easy to get hold of and […]

And so the 2016 Bathurst 12 Hour motor-race is done and dusted, what a HUGE event for us. This is the second year we’ve been able to attend the race, the first was in 2013. Last year we were unable to participate due to our commitments at the V8Supercars Test Day at Sydney Motorsport Park. What an amazing event, the class of the main B12hr field was nothing short of the best assembly of GT cars to race in Australia, hands down! Bathurst is without a doubt the best circuit to shoot at, 23 turns of “amazingness” for sure, if you couldn’t find something to shoot there you are probably dead, or not holding a camera 🙂 I shot every single car that raced over the weekend, even a few that only managed one lap from the supports! My Friday started out with the iconic “Bathurst” shot that is coming over the Skyline with a clear sky behind the car. The weather was pretty good and played along, mostly, you can see some shots further down this post. One thing I forgot about and kick myself is the fact its Bathurst and it can be bloody cold, even in the […]
