A short piece featuring the indigenous artists of the Yurauna Centre Workshop at the National Gallery of Australia from 2009.
The stills were used in a separate short documentary created by the students themselves of their workshop at the NGA. This was produced by Andy Heaney who also shot video footage (see second image below) and created the music. Andy also supplied the music for my video piece.
My video footage was shot during the actual workshop part of the day with a Canon 5DMkII and 70-200 2.8 L with 2 x converter. The workshop covered (among other things) new directions in digital media and the role of the internet for artists. So I thought shooting some HDSLR footage would fit in well with that.

All stills/5DMkII footage was shot at 1600 ISO — some stills on Nikon D700; some on the 5DMkII.
Music by Andy Heaney.

I run a imaging/design consultancy imaginatively called "glen ryan". This operates between Canberra
and the far south coast of NSW and provides a range of services from commercial photography through to
documentary/video production and website design & administration.
Currently I am moving away from website design and back towards photography - with a particular focus on the possibilities offered by the convergence of digital stills and
video technologies. I am also looking to find more time for my long running infra-red panoramic
project - Invisible Landscapes.
In 2010 I will also be working more on several documentary projects
involving my other passion - rare and endangered native Australian plants.
I'm also currently enjoying the challenges of shooting on both Nikon and Canon at the same time - with
the general DSLR rig including Nikon D3s / D700 / infra-red converted D200 and Canon 5D Mark II.
(This all combines to create a great wedding kit!)
