New Year Update



New Year Update

 

Punching out new, high-powered James Knowler Photography Videos, has proven to be incredibly successful and rewarding.
This dynamic format, alongside JKP Photography, brilliantly captures the true personality and informative aspect of my clients’ message.
Web Blogs, Annual Reports, Company Projects, Recruitment, Education & Training … the applications are endless. All industries are covered too … Corporate, Industrial, Mining, Transport, Construction, Rural Produce etc … Think a Sommellier amongst the vineyards detailing a recent harvest or a CEO connecting with valued shareholders.
I’m editing a fantastic digi-reel for Hillgrove Resources right now, and I gotta say, it looks great!
Drop me a line to see how JKP Video could work for you!

The JKP Blog is now up and running. http://www.jamesknowler.com.au/blog

This will be a great area to show off examples of my recent print work, mag features and must-see portraits. Also located here, will be my ‘Streets’ Gallery … a photo taken around town straight from my weekly photographic adventures.
And for you Techies, shooting and processing methods and fancy-pants video tips and tricks.

Last month, I shot a glossy product catalogue for the Armadillo & Co Rugs.
A beautiful, rammed-earth house in the Adelaide Hills, provided the ideal rustic underscore, to offset the colour and design of Armadillo’s striking product range.
Our biggest hurdle? … keeping a super-cute Boarder Collie, named Indie , from doing a mad dash across the pristine merchandise with muddy dog paws!

For Black Sheep Advertising, I headed to the popular Devine Homes property development at Port Hughes, York Peninsula. It was going to be a regular day of shooting lifestyle images … people walking on the beach, playing a round of golf, and entertaining on the deck.
Well, throw in some crazy 30 knot cyclonic winds at 6am, and our models were wondering how to avoid a seriously bad hair day!

For Hickinbotham, I photographed two display homes from their impressive portfolio … one at Victor Harbor and one located in the Barossa Valley.
We filled the spaces with contemporary, family-friendly furniture and a gaggle of kids and animals … dreamy weather this time too … blue skies and an abundance of natural light streaming through the windows … picture perfect.

My New Year’s Resolution list wouldn’t be complete without another extreme Mountain Bike challenge. This time, The Trans Provence! A seven day race from Lyon to Monaco which kicks off in May. My quads are burning just thinking about this tough race, but the new bike I’ve ordered … Lapierre Spicy 516 (the same beauty used by Nicolas Vouilloz in last season’s ‘Enduro Series') might be the perfect antidote for the pain.
Time to hit the tracks and train hard.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Winery Dave

Since purchasing a Canon 5D for my still photography company, I have been playing around with the video mode. For this footage I roped a good mate into telling a story about his vineyard. I testing out the use of wireless microphone and a slider.

Alumina

Processing RAW files in Lightroom gives me a wide range of flexibly to adjust the colour and contrast. In this case I've heavily desaturated the image.

I have also photographed this image on a very short depth of field to make the background very soft. Its a great technique for photographing a portrait very quickly. One light, one lens can make any office hallway look good.
