Snazzy up your kitchen

New kitchen art section. Embellish your kitchens walls with our new fabulous wall art from our poster section - this great combination can make your visitors turn green seeing how fabulous your kitchen looks. Even if your kitchen is on the smaller size, it does not mean that you cannot make it look great. See how the look of the kitchen changes dramatically. Talking of wall art, for enhancing the wall, here are a few ideas from our poster print section designed for kitchens.

Waiting for more Snow…

I have been crossing my fingers for the last few days hoping that we might see some more snow here in the Southern Highlands. Since last weeks sprinkle we are hoping for a decent fall soon.  The temperatures have been dropping fast but unfortunately we have had strong winds as well, not conducive to snow falling!!  I’ve got my camera ready for the morning I wake up and all is white….

Brief glimpse of Town and Country Bowral exhibition

As the months fly by so does the countdown to my exhibition at the Milk Factory Gallery in Bowral.  After much deliberation I have decided to call the exhibition ‘Town & Country’ as my life in beautiful Bowral shows glimpses of both!  The boutique shopping and trendy cafes in town provide us with a taste of what’s on offer in the city with the contrast of rolling green hills only minutes from the town centre. Truly the best of both worlds and without the traffic of the city!!

My exhibition will include a range of sepia toned photographic prints as well as a number of hand coloured photographs.  Here are just a few images from the exhibition:

The exhibition will run from Saturday 3rd September until 28th September at the Milk Factory Gallery, Station St Bowral.

New poster range

Check out the poster range on the website.  For only $80 you can purchase one of Robert’s well-known images on art paper with a matte finish.  This has to be the most affordable way to purchase artwork for your walls!!  Posters can be sent to you with or without a laminated finish or even framed by Julianne, our own in-house professional framer. 

  

Framed prints really do make fabulous gifts for a special birthday.  If you can’t decide what to buy for a male who’s turning 21 have a look at the Beaches section on the website.  These amazing images of surf and sand would look great on anyone’s wall.  If it’s a friend’s 40th then the landscapes section or the European category may have something to suit.

Commercial Photography

Just recently Robert has been contracted by a number of companies to take shots of their staff in formal and informal settings.  These photographs are then used for company reports or displayed on the walls of the head office.  With years of experience in portraiture Robert is skilled at getting the most out of people so the results of these sessions have been great – even the group shot of 60 people taken from the top of a ladder was a good one!  Keep Robert in mind if you are looking for someone to photograph your staff at the annual conference or you need project shots for your annual report.

Our ‘New Look’ Portrait Section

Portraits capture a certain time in our lives and make wonderful gifts for family members.  We have revamped our portrait website so please, take a look!

We have created many different categories so you can see sample of Robert’s portraiture work with young people, elderly people and our four legged friends!!  To get a pricelist simply email or call us today to discuss our portrait packages.

Please sir, can I have some more.....artichokes!

We’ve been working on some new photos for our silicone placemats. After the success of our ‘Bread and flowers’ placemat we think this new image of artichokes will be just as popular.  

Calling all car lovers…

I love photographing cars and have a great collection of photos of all makes and models. I’m always happy to photograph a special car if you are looking for the perfect present for the revhead in your family!!

      

Spring into September workshop

I’m thinking of holding a weekend workshop in September in the Southern Highlands.  I had a great time running a workshop for Sturt Summer School in January and thought people interested in learning more about portrait photography might enjoy a Spring weekend working in fabulous locations around the Highlands.  Send me an email and let me know if you’re interested.

  

Southern Highlands exhibition

I have an exhibition coming up in September at the Milk Factory Gallery, Bowral.  I have spent many hours going through photographs of interesting people and landscapes from the Southern Highlands.  Here are a couple I am thinking of including….

Dragonflies everywhere…

In garden shops everywhere we have seen dragonfly wall sculptures. Robert has a fabulous, detailed photograph of a dragonfly that we launched at this year’s tradeshow.  It was a hit at the tradeshow and looks stunning in a silver frame, see for yourself…

Bondi Watercolour

The centre pages of Robert’s Bondi book display a great colour photo of this beautiful part of Sydney.  Known as “Bondi watercolour” we have just had this photograph printed on watercolour paper and it looks amazing.  We are really happy with the depth of colour that has been produced.  

Locomotive

All right, I admit I am a bit of a trainspotter and find old locomotives fascinating.  My favourite photograph of 2010 is this one taken at Ballarat.  I look forward to visiting this area again at Easter this year.

And a big happy birthday to Lachlan.

International Cricket Museum

The new International Cricket Museum opened recently and if you’re a cricket tragic like me you’ll need more than a couple of hours to escape into cricket heaven, here in Bowral.

E-books changing the way we read

Interesting that e-books as novels seems to be creating angst amongst booksellers.  So what about picture books?  Children’s books which are generally sat down and read to with colourful illustrations are continuing strongly so what happens with large coffee table books.  Would you look at them on your I-pad?  Will coffee table books be given as gifts – I think so!

Gallery within a gallery

Expect to see us within a very well known gallery in Mosman soon.  You’ll see black and white photographs, drawings, paintings, in fact everything on our website.  Let me know if you live in the area and I’ll send you an invite to welcome drinks when we open! 

Beautiful Summer Light

All photographers should be taking advantage of the beautiful light available in the early months of the year.  Portraits taken on location can be shot up until 8.00pm.
