-----

Well, well, well, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve posted anything on my #Oscarisms tumbler blog, but I’m back!  

The past two years have had me working under contract shooting for Visionair, a commercial photography business that saw me travel around Australia several times shooting staff portraits for a “big four” bank, business portraits in finance and law sectors, covering award nights and opening events for major real estate companies, the International Convention Centre, hundreds of hours shooting table top product for E-commerce, assisting with drone photography and also did a lot of Uber driving, working in hospitality and travelling parts of SEA and California.

In essence, I haven’t shot much for myself, a lot of my work was repetitive and my equipment started to get old-age-aches which took some of the joy out of photography.

In late March ‘17, my parents Jackie and Gary decided to put a lot on the line and invest in me and my business - with a firm goal of specialising in business/ actors’ headshots and editorial portraits - we leased a small studio space in Surry Hills on the second floor of a heritage building complete with rustic wooden floor boards and a gnarly, clunky elevator, which is for lack of better words,.. an experience. 

Huge, gigantic, super-massive learning curve doesn’t begin to describe what’s gone into setting up this little ditty. Even with Mum and Dads experience with numerous home renovations, working for landscape and interior design businesses, Dad’s law practice and mums background as a General Manager for a computer graphics company in the 80′s, this has still proven to be a monumental challenge. 

Once we had our space locked in - the clock was ticking - All of my time has gone into relaunching my business, as if from scratch, so income was nil. Turning a 28 square metre room that needed some love into dedicated portrait photography studio with change room, waiting room and storage space took a lot of creative ideas and a lot more elbow grease. *Special thanks to my buddy Toby Davis! I would not have been able to manage the transition of this space without his many, many hours of help and more so the gusto with which he helped. It put wind in my own sails and kept me believing in the project. Really can't thank him enough!

We snapped up the space because despite it’s dowdy fixings and handy-man renos, at it’s essence we all believed in it’s genuine character: The 100 year old floors, the large lead window, wooden stairs, rickety lift, Surry Hills local- all sung the tune of the business I dreamt to have: 

To bring back a touch of old-world-charm and style, like that in the days of Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Cecil Beaton, a pinch of Marlin Brando and Hepburn (either one), all while operating with finely tuned modern photography techniques and equipment to service clients wishing to present their personal image in the best light.

All that said - I will have a soft opening for those close to me to come and enjoy a scotch, listen to Miles Davis and maybe take a few portraits to warm the place up. The date is still to be announced but likely before the end of May. If you wish to be apart of this with me, please let me know.

Cheers,

Oscar and Co.
