18.01.2022 BTS Doing what I love here at our Sydney Studio. I believe there is no such thing as perfect lighting but we can always strive for more. To be able to stand out and beat the average, to stay ahead of the curve, we can always do more. Never be completely satisfied. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid of standing still. Forget your mistakes, but remember what they taught you. So how do you become better tomorrow? By becoming better today. . . Photocredit goes to my l...ovely assistant @beatrixzambon .

16.01.2022 Let me introduce you to a tiny piece of equipment which made a MASSIVE IMPACT on my workflow. The LOCKBLOCK from STEKK @stekk.online Invented by @joostkoskamp frustrated about connectivity issues when shooting tethered. This little device has saved my butt on many occasions! So much so, that the LOCKBLOCK never leaves my camera bag! I've been shooting tethered since I can remember, using a majority of Tethertools equipment to simplify and speed up my workflow. The LOCKBLOCK i...s taking it to a new level and has become an invaluable tool to get the job done! If you're struggling with connectivity issues when tethering make sure to check out the LOCKBLOCK over at @stekk.online or simply visit their website. #tether #lockblock #stekk #lockblocks @headshotcrew #sydneyheadshots #sydneyphotographer #captureonepro #tethertools #headshotphotographer #featuredphotographs #portraitphotographer #portrait #portraitmood #black #model #actorheadshots #sydneyactor #sydneymodel #badass #oldschool #amsterdam #actorheadshots #canonaustralia#iso1200magazine @iso1200magazine @featuredphotographs @ Den Haag

12.01.2022 I had the pleasure to talk to a room full of International Trade Professionals yesterday. We discussed how they can take control their own digital identity.

11.01.2022 I'm hitting 30 today. It's absolutely fascinating how time flies! I reached the age where I'm getting excited about different patterned socks, as a matter of fact, I started collecting some really cool ones this year. :-) Speaking of 2020! What a wild rollercoaster that has been, and it keeps on coming. Despite the chaotic 2020 my lovely wife Kate and I bit the bullet and went all out by taking on a new business venture while simultaneously expanding my Photography busine...ss 10 fold. We founded the @TheDaleStudio together, offering creatives the opportunity to rent our space and equipment. We also founded the DaleDesk giving everyone a chance to work in a creative, constructive, and cool environment with like-minded people of different industries. It's been nothing but amazing so far. Talent after talent walk through our beautiful teal-colored door and keep our creative juices flowing. . . Looking back now, the last 10 years have changed me in ways I've never dreamed of. I finally do what I was destined to do all along. Changing people's lives for the better through my work as a Photographer, Retoucher, Educator, and public speaker means more to me than any mansion on the beach or all the money in the world because happiness can't be bought. Work hard doing what you love, no matter where you grew up or how many times you got knocked down, get up and keep on fighting, and maybe you'll find your calling along the way. With all that being said, I would be where I am today without my wife Kate who stood by me and supported me throughout all these years, so a MASSIVE THANK YOU to @dotdoyle This photo was taken today, 2nd November 2020. . .
