Studio Bruny Island

I made it a priority to explore the world in my 20s.

I scratched the surface of 26 countries in the 12 months of my first trip.

I have stepped foot in a few more different countries and returned to some of the same ones since then.

I thought, in all of that I would find a sense of home, a place, a city, a village, exotic with a beautifully exotic partner to match.

It may be impossible to find your true home until your body and mind are ready for it, even if you have visited your true home earlier when it didn’t feel like your home.

When I was much younger I asked myself…How can I feel settled somewhere as home if I don’t have a comparative measure of other places that could be home.

Decades past after that first trip until I found my home and community at Adventure Bay on Bruny Island.

I should have known I would find home on an Island. I’ve been magnetised to them wherever I go. I paddle to them, fly and sail to them.

They’re contained and defined with a clear frontier. The people on Islands are generally lovely, friendly and accountable for their actions.

I love my island community.

Photography.

You can come to Bruny Island and I can shoot your project in a big studio that even has a commercial kitchen and 100 year old floorboards. In between shots you can walk 100 metres to the ocean and stand on the white sand and look at the blue water and sky when the weather is like it is today.

There are so many beaches and varied backgrounds for outdoor shoots too.

You’ll probably see a white wallaby and stuff yourself with the best oysters, fish, cheese, bread, beer and wine too.

You may bring your work crew or just the talent and yourself, then you think about it and you know your family should experience this plump, tax deductible paradise too.
