Category Archives: Projects Berlin is full of modern day ruins. Where many cities bull dozed old buildings to make way for the new, in some cases in Berlin that just didn’t happen. Namely because there was no money to knock down and start again. So now the city is an ecclectic mix of old, new and everything in…  This week I was asked back by Sarah Wiener and her crew at Wiener Brot bäckerei to shoot some product images for them. A couple of weeks ago I captured the opening of their shopfront Wiener Brot and I also went to the off-site bakery to capture some of the action there. They looked at…  A visit to Cafe CK – what a great way to kick off a Monday morning here in Berlin. Co-owned by Cory Andreen, recent winner of the 2012 World Cup Tasters Championship, and Kerstin Winkelbauer, Cafe CK is a delight to walk into. A little retro hint here and there, lots of space and a…  With affordable living costs and being central in Europe, Berlin attracts many people trying something new, starting a new business or connecting with others on projects. Today I met with Steve, Mandy and Helmut who are the brains and brawn behind Start Up Berlin. Start Up Berlin is the go-to place for advice on all… Awesome feedback – thanks Mandy – and I think you all did really well! Thanks a lot Beth for this great pictures! We are all super happy about the results!  Kitchensurfing is the brainchild of a handfull of overachievers in the US and has come to Berlin. It’s a concept focused on bringing chefs and their culinary skills directly to the people. So if you have a private function, like a dinner party, and you want it to be beautiufully cooked for by a chef,…  If you’ve been in Berlin a while, before long you’ll see what I call the Bubble Man. The Bubble Man, otherwise known as Peter Pan Seifenblasenmann or Peter Pan the Soap Bubble Man is often seen around Berlin blowing bubbles. Not just any bubbles, these bubbles are massive, amazing bubbles that captivate everyone that passes… Thank you Sylee – yes the bubbles are mesmerizing! My daughter will watch the bubble makers for hours. Your shots are magical.  Today was spent all day at the Skoda Velothon with some members of my group Photography in Berlin. Not usually my caper, walking around a big city watching a cycling race. But actually, this was cool. There was something like 7000 cyclists, amateur and professional, riding the same circuit, although at different times, around the…  [youtube]http://youtu.be/mOkA-4V5-ck[/youtube] How to explain the collaborative process? Ah…it’s a mysterious thing, arriving at the final destination. You would think, looking at this video, that the written content was complete and as you hear it now, before we shot the images. It didn’t quite roll out that way… Emma has been exploring various themes in her… Oh you say it so well Emma, staying open is the key to the collaboration indeed. I think we are both very good at that – the flow of ideas goes back and forth until we massage the piece to a point of completion… I do love working with you my dear you are amazing!! See you in Spring time so we can continue the collaborative adventure xx It is so wonderful to work with a photographer like Beth, she has such an intricate eye for visual language. Her photos tell stories I could never write on my own and I love how she captures beauty in every frame. There’s always so much love in her work. I think that staying open is the only way to collaborate effectively – you never know exactly what will happen, you just have to be ready to recognise and capture it when it does. Something Beth does very well. Hurry up and come back from Berlin please, I’m ready for more! xx Yeah…thanks Haley it is very well written isn’t it. A great story and it’s come together really well in the presentation. We’re really excited by this one!

With Dutch heritage, Joost (pronounced Yoast) Bakker creates restaurants (some temporary, some permanent) in which people can experience first-hand his vision for sustainable living… Oh you totally should, if you get the chance!! Ok so I definitely want to go there and taste now!  Rosie Lockhart is in her final year of actor training at the Victorian College of the Arts. She came here with a big voice – and a great opportunity to learn what to do with it through her education at VCA in theatre and performance. Holy wowsers – look out here comes Rosie. What you… She is beautiful, isn’t she? This is a show reel – a piece that showcases the actor – and by default showcases my work and way of seeing too. The perfect blend! She is amazing, though, isn’t she?! Owwwwwwww Beth these are beautifully breathtaking! I love love love this post she is stunning and you ave captured her innocence and intrigue bang on!  Who is Lisa O’Hara? Lisa is one courageous gal. In April 2011, aged 23, she was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC).

I’m just a photo hog. lol but great job Beth in capturing that awesome day. cheers,  I’ve been building an excellent partnership with Mount Majura Vineyard – they are sponsoring my exhibition opening next week and in exchange I’ve done some photography on site for them. These images might be used for various promotional material – on their newsletter, website, etc. It has been absolutely delightful to deal with them. Namely, Julia… 
Oh Julia thanks so much, yes, the pictures have turned out well I think, they capture the movement and spirit of your winery. It’s the people that make the place, their personalities and energy so that’s what I wanted to reflect in the images – they all look great what’s online here is a sampler for you. Thanks again so much for our partnership and I’m so pleased to be associated with your beautiful vineyard. B Beth, was great to have you out at the vineyard. These photographs have turned out beautifully. You seem to have an amazing way of caturing, lines, light and life! We look forward to developing our partnership into the future and to your upcoming exhibition at the Front. |

Totally, Sara it would make an amazing place for a movie for sure.
Brilliant pictures and an extremely inspiring place. My fav one: the one with an armchair. If I were to shoot a movie, it would be there.
