3. AGENCY FISH
Garuda Colours | Travel, Explore
Garuda Colours is the monthly in-flight
magazine for Indonesia’s national flag-
carrier, and its Travel section showcases
the best of this incredible archipelago,
with the adventurous traveller in mind.
Since 2013 I have been a regular
contributor to this exciting publication,
shooting editorial travel stories from
such diverse and off-the-beaten-track
locations as central Borneo, Tanah
Toraja in Sulawesi, Pulau Nias, east
Sumbawa and south Sumatra.
Working together with a number
of renowned local and expatriate
writers, I was tasked with planning
itineraries, researching locations and
ultimately, shooting to briefs that
required eye-catching travel imagery.
Additionally, I have shot a series of editorial
profile features for the Explore section,
showcasing talented chefs based in Bali.
4. SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
48 Hours Magazine | Travel
48 Hours Magazine is the South China Morning Post’s weekend lifestyle supplement that
showcases a wide range of exciting activities from fashionable dining and nightlife to travel,
music and entertainment. So far I have shot two main features including north Sumatra, and
Borneo’s wild orangutans.
5. INDO MULTIMEDIA
Hello Bali | To Dine For
Since 2009 I have been a regular
contributor to Hello Bali’s To Dine For
feature, showcasing the best and
brightest restaurants in the region.
Each month, everything from the
food and the chef to the decor and
ambience is covered in a vibrant four-
page article that requires a strong
lead-in DPS, as well as intriguing detail
shots to bring the copy to life.
6. INDO MULTIMEDIA
Hello Bali | Features
As well as my monthly To Dine For work, I have
been tasked with a series of leading features
for Hello Bali including; Offshore (travel), In
Focus (profiles) and Island Life (lifestyle).
I have produced travel features from
locations such as Lembongan island and
Central Java, profiles of well-known artists,
dancers and musicians, and lifestyle pieces
on indigenous black magic and local
philanthropists such as the twelve page
Unsung Heroes spread (pictured right).
7. INK PUBLISHING
Jetstar Asia | Altitude / Jetstar Australia
| Thirst Quencher / Tiger Tales |
Weekender / Mandala | Departures
One of the largest publishers in travel
media, INK has offices around the world,
and specialises in inflight magazines for
a selection of international airlines.
Since 2011, I have shot an
assortment of features covering
fashion, lifestyle, dining and travel
for four different INK publications.
Each assignment required liaising with
an assigned writer and working out a
suitable schedule in order to produce
consistent editorial photographs that
would link with the copy, to achieve
informative, eye-catching articles
to appeal to a broad audience.
8. WHITE WHALE MEDIA
I-Magazine | Cover Feature
I-Magazine is a young, edgy publication
that explores and represents the new
wave of creative fashion, art, music
and surf culture in Bali, reaching
out to the growing network of
international active, creative individuals
making the island their home.
When renowned Sydney rock band
Wolfmother visited Bali to play a secret
intimate gig at Deus ex Machina I
was asked by the editors to cover
the event as a leading feature.
The article required a cover shot and
strong lead-in, followed by a montage of
shots to depict the band, crowd, venue
and overall mood of the occasion.
9. ASIA ROOMS
Travel Community
AsiaRooms is a fast-growing hotel
beds booking online portal that covers
the majority of countries in Southeast
Asia and beyond, providing the best
deals for independent and adventurous
travellers throughout the region.
Last year I was commissioned by
AsiaRooms management to produce a
series of travel galleries to be featured
on their ‘Travel Community’ section,
which provides inspiration and interaction
for AsiaRooms travellers. So far I have
submitted two galleries, one on Bali
and the other (pictured) documenting
the Balinese ‘Legong’ dance.
AsiaRooms targets a young, social-
media savvy demographic, and
consequently the galleries have
been widely shared across multiple
platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
10. INDIES TRADER MARINE ADVENTURES
Surfing Mentawai
Since 2012 I have been regularly employed
by Indies Trader Marine Adventures
management as onboard photographer
to cover private surf charter trips to
remote areas of the Indian Ocean. During
the 2-4 week trips, I am tasked with
providing a mix of imagery to document
the experience for each guest - frequently,
the photographs have gone on to
appear in major surfing publications.
11. SARONG GROUP
Sarong
After successful periods with two of
Sydney’s leading restaurants, Longrain
and Jimmy Liks, Will Meyrick set up
the acclaimed Sarong restaurant in
Bali in 2008, with the aim of serving
authentic Southeast Asian street food
within a fine dining environment.
I was initally approached by Will and
his team back in 2011 for a photo
assignment, and ever since have been
contracted to shoot all food, interior
and chef’s profile image collateral for
Sarong marketing, online content
and social media. Due to Sarong’s
international brand placement, the
images have appeared in publications
such as Gourmet Traveller, DestinAsian,
Esquire and Harpers Bazaar.
12. SARONG GROUP
Eastern & Oriental
After the runaway success of Sarong in
Bali, the group expanded into Jakarta
with E&O, pitched firmly at the burgeoning
foodie scene in this buzzing city.
Like Sarong, the Pan-Asian inspired,
colonial style E&O has a strong brand
identity, which has been important
for the management to maintain.
Although I was based in Bali during
E&O’s inception, I was regularly flown
over to Jakarta for numerous shoots to
amass a solid image bank to be used
for marketing purposes across all
media lines.
13. SARONG GROUP
Mamasan
Back in Bali, Mamasan has proven to be
the Sarong Group’s most popular and
adaptable brand, with new branches now
in Malaysia and Hong Kong mirroring the
phenomenal success of the Bali location.
Like Sarong and E&O, I have been
the primary photographer for
Mamasan since its opening in 2011,
providing all image collateral.
14. SARONG GROUP
Sarong Inspirations
The brief from Sarong Group was to shoot striking food imagery for a 320 page hardcover recipe book titled Inspirations, to tie together chef Will Meyrick’s culinary travels
throughout Southeast Asia, and also provide a practical cookery book for the recipies. Working closely with Will, his kitchen team and two specialist food stylists, I shot the
majority of the 80 plus recipes contained within the book, which has now had three print runs and is also available on the iTunes store.
15. AYANA GROUP
Ah Yat Abalone Seafood
I was asked by the AYANA Hotel Group
management to shoot a series of images to
help with the rebranding of their signature
F&B outlet Ah Yat restaurant for billboard,
print and digital media channels.
The brief required a new, more
contemporary approach to the
food images, which were much
more styled in order to appeal to
a taste-conscious audience.
16. PERSONAL PROJECTS
Portraits
In between comissions I always aim
to shoot as much as possible for my
own enjoyment, particularly portraiture
as this is the style of photography that
I find most enjoyable and satisfying.
Consequently I feel that portraits is one of
the strongest aspects of my photography.
