A new series that I am working on. Time to jump in front of the camera.

A couple of photos from Zedtown Melbourne, a NERF based zombie game. Lots of fun even as a marshal/photographer.

A photoshoot of player and organiser costumes that I did for the Blackpowder and Bloodlines LARP

Footage of me fighting at Swordcraft quest. There were 600+ people in the battle including epic creatures.

Some photos from the recent Swordcraft quest event. Plenty of good times at the week long event. You can see more of my work here.

Some more photos from After the Fall. The rest can be seen on my facebook page here.

Some photos from After the Fall. A post apocalyptic LARP game in Melbourne that I ran and documented. The players got really creative with their costumes and were feeling real emotions. Now we need to up the ante next time.

Some photos from a recent player run LARP event. It is very cool to see a warband that you started still going strong 6 years later.

Some photos that I took at last weeks Swordcraft game. I keep forgetting how good golden hour light can be, hopefully we will have a few more weeks of it during the games.

Some photos from a recent LARP tournament. A group of us from Melbourne had been invited to go up to Sydney and take part so it involved a lot of time travelling. But road trip + fighting = fun!

It might be a little bit late, but here are my favorite photos from 2016. They are mostly LARP related with a bit of reenactment/HMB thrown in. It’s always interesting to see work from different shoots side by side. You can see more of my work here.

Some individual and group portraits taken before Swordcraft recently. One light used against the sunset.

Some photos from a local Medieval Faire just outside of Melbourne, Australia. It was great to see so many different time periods and styles represented. You can see more of the photos here. You can also see @forgedinfoamtemperedlikesteel and @larplyyyyyyf in the photos amongst others.

Some candid shots from the recent Swordcraft Quest event in Melbourne. It’s always nice to catch people in natural poses.

More photos from Swordcraft quest on Melbourne.
