Two of almost 1500 images shot for a Dance Gala under incredibly demanding conditions where the theatrical lighting was a tiny fraction of normal daylight levels demanding the use of a very fast lens (Canon f1.8 at maximum aperture), and fairly high sensor speed (ISO 800) whilst keeping the shutter speed within manageable levels.

Dog Toy Photoshoot

I had the pleasure of working with Barney on a product shoot for one of my products and can say he certainly went above and beyond throughout to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the results. He took the time to communicate on his progress at each step, explained the challenges he was facing and proposed solutions. It took a little longer than expected to complete, which I don't mind because the quality was there. Much better to take your time to deliver great results than do a rush job! 5*

Sensory Experiences Reflecting The EYLF

Curriculum Kids (Australia) 2017

Author: Samantha Kyrelses. ISBN 978-0-9943906-9-1 Sensory exploration has an important role in children’s development, it can be a child’s way of examining, discovering, categorising and making sense of the world. Research shows that if we provide experiences that engage children by using their senses, they are more likely to have a deeper understanding and make meaning of what they are learning.
