Become a friend of Eternity Photography and suggest us to your friends to go into the draw. Competition closes on the 20th September 2010. The lucky winner will be announced on our Facebook page.

I have been looking for a great way of giving something back and fundraising for a charity that helps children seems to fit very nicely. I consider myself to be extremely lucky because I have three healthy kids who amaze and entertain me, my beautiful wife Shannon (who is studying to be a master brewer) and I do what I love for a living. I love portrait photography because it is so varied, whether it is kids portraits, baby portraits, couples portraits or family portraits it is all fun and I am passionate about creating something even better than the last shoot.

I have teamed up with Variety the children’s charity and I will be donating part proceeds to Variety. I am also rewarding anyone who donates $50 to Variety with $250 of product and services from Eternity Photography. This will provide you with a portrait session in the studio or on location and one 8×12 inch portrait print and some remaining credit. Part proceeds will also be donated from any further purchases that you choose to make.

It is so easy to do, simply fill out a portrait enquiry form on the website and mention the $50 Variety donation. We will give you a call and arrange everything for you. This would be great for all types of Portrait photography, maternity portraits, baby portraits, kids portraits, family portraits, couples portraits, individual portraits and nude portraits.

I will let you know more on some really exciting news soon about an exhibition that I will be having in Perth. I have begun work on the images which I am enjoying. The exhibition will be in support of Variety the children’s charity.

I really enjoyed this portrait session in Fremantle. I often find that with couples they really enjoy how I make the portrait session experience lots of fun, we just have a chat and walk around the streets and pause for shots along the way. It’s a great job and I love meeting new people. At a certain point of the session everyone is just having fun, the self conscious barriers  are now down and the portraits are “real”.

A good photographer can use composition and light to create visually pleasing photographs. A great portrait photographer can do all of this and also reveal the characters of those people that they photograph. This is what makes great portraits or “real” portraits. I feel that they are timeless because they are honest.

When I pick up a camera, I want to deliver “real” portraits. There is no better feeling than when you have achieved this as a portrait photographer.
