With The MHS Conference and awards held today we had the honor and opportunity to capture the proceedings and the lucky winners of such awards.
There was a great vibe and with a whole lot of happy faces with all the photos up on our online store that can be found off the menu on the left hand side.
If you have any issues let me know. 🙂
Check out this video that shows some the stuff I am packing for my next little adventure covering the National iAwards conference and gala awards night at the Melbourne Convention Center.
My team comprises of two photographers and an assistant at the iAwards conference and another photographer in my team covering TheMHS conference and awards to be held here in Canberra, so it promises to be a busy week here at Brendan Maunder Photography.
Now I better run as I still have to pack the car and with a 7 hour drive in front of me I think I need a coffee.  🙂
If you a have large event that needs to be covered by a team of experts in the field, drop me a message as I am sure we can help and we do travel. 🙂
This person is like my own daughter. I  have watched her grow, took care of her, she would come over to my house at Christmas wearing socks on her hands and she was Kali’s big sister. I will protect her and look after as if she is my own!!
I love her to bits and to see that she is making a move to push her business and talents is fantastic.
Please give her a boost and show her some loving as she is a young single mum starting over and needs a hand…
I do a lot for lots of people.  I may have help you out at some point or even been a ear to listen and have never asked for anything…..  but now I am asking….
Help my daughter (not by blood but my love) out by liking her page and sending her some message of love. 🙂
She would really appreciate it and so would I.
One of the joys of being an event photographer here in Canberra is I get to go out to all sorts of places at all sorts of hours –  typically night hours as that is when people are having fun and I must say I just love the idea of meet lots of new friends. 🙂
During the week I had an opportunity to photograph for the lighthouse pub in Belconnen where I didnt start at 11:30 PM and photographed till 2 AM.  I must say the time went super quick and it was such a blast that I didn’t want to leave.
One of the great things of the night was the staff.  🙂  They were all so welcoming and were more than happy to help and offer locations where I could get shots from. (even though they were really camera shy)
I must say when the owner has such a smile on his face for all this clients then its a good sign you are in the right place. 🙂
Doing what he does best… and that is puring the working event photographer a water… hahahahah Thanks mate for being my model 🙂
Well well well.. One of the things I take very very very serious… and that is people that don’t like their photo taken…. Â this young lass avoided me like I had the plague…. Â but what she didn’t know is that before she knew I was there I got this shot… Â the rest of the shots was just me messing with her head. Â haha
This welcoming feeling washed through the place like a tsunami and effected everyone in the place.
All the people that were there had such a great feel and were super happy and just loved getting their photo taken, with some just loving the idea they can take photos of others. 🙂
If you are out and about tonight have a great time, and be kind to the photographer as they are there to make you look freaking awesome. 🙂
You have an event, party, wedding, corporate  event and need a photographer…  Drop me a line and lets see if I can help you out. 🙂
Just about every morning before I get up I look at what the weather is going be doing to my for the day, as it helps me plan what I am going to wear, carry and do for that day.
Is it going to be hot so I have to pack water bottles and ice creams in my portable fridges or freezing or do I need to take hot coffee?? Do I need to wear beanie or sunscreen?? Is it going to be so windy that I am going to be like Mary Poppins with all my portable lighting or still as a lake in the early morning?
These are very important questions I ask about the coming day and the days following as I need to make sure everything is taken into consideration for the success of the shoot and the comfort of the people I am working with,  be it a family, a wedding, board members of a large company, gala event, or even a conference with thousands of people attending.
Why I am telling you this by the way. 🙂
When I looked at today’s weather I noticed that it is almost identical to the same weather and time when I looked at a few days and it got me thinking.
Is it so bad that today is starting out and looking like it is going to be a repeat of the other day? Â What happened the other day after I saw the weather? How did the day pan out? Was it good or bad?
All very important questions and ones I quickly asked and answered in my own head like a mad man talks to himself…. While the answers in themselves were not that amazing it was the act of self critiquing that I thought I would share. It is something that I do a lot,  after every shoot, event, or workshop I conduct.  After every meeting or interactions with key people and general people in my life.
It forms part or my personal and professional growth.
What are the areas you would like to see grow in your life and what do you do to make that happen or what first make that happen?
Are there areas in your photography that would like to improve in but not sure where to start?  Or other areas like post processing that you would like to pursue?
I would love to hear your stories as there may be things I can use or avoid in my life and business!
So please do share and comment below. 🙂
I have dedicated my photography career in the pursuit of capturing the very essence of what I am photographing so as to bring the “forever memories” back to life. Through this, I now have the ability to share my years of experience with you through my on-line courses.
