The Unleashed Alternative Markets are sa hotbed of creativity, steampunk, cosplay, lolita, rockabilly and alternative genres. Dreamcoat Photography has an exclusive tenure on all the Unleashed 2013 venues as the venue photographer. We also run a photobooth shooting and printing images for patrons on the spot.

Here is our advert for the photo packages available at the venue.

Like the Unleashed Alternative Markets Facebook page and come and see us at one soon for your photos.

Here are some samples we shot from the February event.

We recently ran a photography workshop for some photographers learning to shoot models, cars and use off camera lighting. We put together a mechanics workshop, two lovely ladies, a Ferrari, Monaro GTS drag car and a Harley Davidson.

We spent the day learning how to work with models, makeup artists, lighting and vehicles and their owners.

All the photographers came away with a big learning curve on the step up from taking a few photos in the park to the work that goes into putting a shoot like this together. They learnt how to set the camera up, the lighting up and pose the models and compose their images.

If you are interested in doing this we can put together a workshop for you and your friends or solo tuition if necessary.

Here are a few from the day.

Back in February 2013 we shot the Drupalcon Sydney conference. The keynote speaker for Day Two of DrupalCon Sydney was Senator the Hon Kate Lundy, Minister Assisting for Innovation and Industry. From the Drupalcon Website;

Senator Lundy is well known amongst the Australian open source community, and well regarded in open government circles around the world. Given Drupal’s wide adoption by governments and public companies, non-profits and open data initiatives around the world, we are very excited to have Senator Lundy deliver a keynote address titled, “From Open Source to Open Government.”

We also covered the beach cricket on Coogee beach, the code sprint and many of the sessions and meals.

Here’s a small sample. Contact us to shoot your event now.

Sometimes as a photographer you just don't have time to shoot your own family. Getting them all in the same place at the same time with the right attitude and clothing is as hard as organising a shoot for any paying clients. Trust me, we know what you go through tog et everybody to us on the day when you bring your family to us to shoot.

Recently I put together a mini shoot on the the lounge room floor. Not that you would know that from the results.

Here are my beautiful girls in a selfie style.

Sometimes we are asked to produce portfolio shots for ladies interested in modelling. The idea is to get as many different looks and styles to show versatility and naturalness. This shoot for Cassie covered 4 hours, 4 locations and 6 clothing changes.

One of our long term models Ally recently imported a Nissan Skyline GT from Japan. It is completely unmodified and will prove to be a good base machine for her to modify over the coming years.

We took some photos of it for her last week.

I was part of a team shooting for alternative Solitude Magazine at Cedar Creek Mt Tamborine yesterday. A number of the best photos will be released in the magazine in due course. However here are some of my stand out images from the shoot.

I was really happy about finding the perfect vine swing in the rainforest and being able to shoot Meg swinging on it with some slow panning effects.

Mel channelled her inner Lara Croft on a waterfall while Heather was a forest nymph. Onoke did her best Summer Glau impersonation (from Serenity) and Mel also floated dead in the water. Finally Kurt from Umbrella Corp showed some abseiling skills and action on a cliff.
