I just finished this shoot with Tamara and Alfie, I had to rush back to the office to download this image. I kinda like it lots, Alfie has a heap of character and is such a wooly playful mud seeking puppy! You can find another shot of Alfie in the animal folio on the Photobat facebook page.

Last week I was in Melbourne with some spare time and decided to just go for a walk. The above video is the result, a mini documentary of Brunswick Street in Fitzroy between Gertude and Johnston.
Let me know what you think, should I do more of these?

I first entered the Australian Professional Photography Awards in 2001, and got nothing. I had no idea what I was doing back then, I had talked to a photographer and sent in what I had. So nothing came of it, the next year I was a bit more on the ball and picked up a couple of awards, and have been getting some ever since.
This year I received the honour of Master of Photography with 1 Gold Bar from The Australian Institute of Professional Photography. I was presented during the awards ceremony in Sydney with a gold bar to be added onto my Masters ribbon.
How this all works is that for every silver award you get one point and ever gold award you get two points. If you receive 5 points with in 4 years you become an Associate, I received this in 2003. The next step is that if you receive 10 additional points within five years you become a Master of Photography, I received this in 2006. From then every additional 10 points gained within 5 years gets you an Gold Bar.
So after my name I get to put, Alan Moyle M Photog I
Just as a trip down memory lane I’ve put together a podcast of many of the award images over the years. These aren’t only APPA ones, they include images that have received awards all over the place.
Enjoy!

Last week we had the fun pleasure of teaming up with Kat form Frockyou.com.au for a little fashion shoot with her daughter Charlotte. It was a typical Tasmanian summer day, lots of rain and not that warm. Charlotte did very well to let us take some many fantastic photos of her. It was lucky that this is for the Winter editions of magazines so the weather was perfect. Check the podcast below for more photos from this session.

It has been over a year since I first met Anthony and Amanda, at that time Amanda was quite pregnant and gave me a hand in updating my pregnancy folio. I have to say, both Anthony and Amanda are very special people, so friendly and I found myself staying a bit longer than normal for a chat at the end of the session. So now Ella is about and I have been back three times to photograph her so that we could put together an album showing her first 12 months. She is very very cute in both looks and in what she does, she is lucky to have such top parents who are completely in love and in awe of her!
So below is the podcast that follows the Castray’s progress, from Pregnancy to just after Ella’s first birthday. It has been a preverlidge to spend time with this awesome family and I’m looking to catching up with them again soon, if only for a cup of tea!

A few weeks ago I took the Egan’s out to one of my favoutie photo locations, Tamar Island. It seems that everytime I head out there we always get some really fantastic images.
It was such a pleasent afternoon and such a graet family to not only photograph but spend some time with. A heap of fun!
SOccor (or should that be football) plays a big role in the boys lives so it was good to get the shot with the balls.
