25.01.2022 I hold many speakers days some in a virtual environment set up and others like this one for Phil Preston which was on stage in an amazing setup. If you're an established or emerging speaker and you need to demonstrate what it is that you do and you either need to update your onstage content but can't due to covid or if you don't have enough video assets to put together your showreel, don't worry I have your covered! To find out more please message me.... In the meantime check out Phil's video below!

25.01.2022 After the initial shock wore off from Covid19 where we saw bring the whole speaking industry down on its knees, you may have seen many speakers quickly begin to position themselves as virtual online presenters and trainers AND theyre getting paid for this. With still so much uncertainty as to when things will return back to some form of normalcy, in the meantime Virtual events and presentations are already happening across the globe as we speak. The world has been propelle...d forward and embracing this. This whole virtual experiences whether live or otherwise are proving to be very successful...surprising many how well it is going. So much so that they are likely to stay for good So Imagine the additional speaking opportunities and the benefits this can provide to you as a speaker right now and in the future. Which is why I am offering a limited time only to help speakers update their showreels. Check out the link below to find out more. https://melindahirdphotography.com.au/showreel-offer/ In-demand speakers have a professional quality video to represent their brand and rarely settle for just good enough A good show reel will sell you on your behalf! Dont make the mistake in taking the short cut by producing a cheap, low-quality showreel because that short cut will cost you more in reputation and income.

24.01.2022 Restaurant Editorial Shoot for Alberto. Published in The Australian Review 2019

22.01.2022 This photo is electric! Much like the fabulous person in it Suzy Jacobs who is the CEO of suzyjacobs.com who is a no nonsense mentor and Emcee with an incredible Podcast called the Change Room. I always enjoy photographing this amazing and dynamic woman.

21.01.2022 Its always so exciting when you can find the perfect spot for the right person on Photoshoots I love this shot (and this chair!) pictured here with Selina. Colours also excite me as well, particularly when we have great backgrounds and clothing to work with. We captured some many other incredible colours on this shoot, as we played our way around the city.... Thank you Selina and thank you too Sophie, many more great ones to come! xx

21.01.2022 This is what I'm about - empowering others to be the best version of themselves, elevating brain fitness to boost mental performance

21.01.2022 CEOWorld Magazine couldn't have said it any better. Emma Bannister is passionate about presenting big, bold and beautiful ideas. She is the founder and CEO of Presentation Studio, APACs largest presentation communication agency, and author of the book Visual Thinking: How to transform the way you think, communicate and influence with presentations. No more boring presentations if you have Emma and her incredible team looking after you. Visual Branding is everything if you ...want to stand out and make an impact and that includes consideration into everything you put your heart and soul into when running a business. Great shoot with this wonderful person.

20.01.2022 Last Friday I had an incredible day photographing many people in the studio, to update their portrait brand images and have them ready for 2020 to support their brand, marketing and social content. Here is Sophie, and we captured a mix of playful, relaxed and fun images that captured her beautiful warm personality and mixed in some of her true passions. Sophie has been travelling around the world to some incredible locations. From islands in Italy, to Paris and then to India and the Himalayans. There she rediscovered her love of travel, health and a healthy lifestyle as well as photographing these exotic locations that were just inspiring me to go travelling! Her holiday photos are exceptional and really captures another side of the beauty of this world. Here's a quick sneak peak and a few of my favourites.

20.01.2022 Feeling Hungry? Want something delicious that's in the city? Why not stop what you're doing and make a spontaneous decision to head down to Barangaroo and check out the new restaurant Woodcut. Take the family and enjoy this weekend's glorious Sydney weather and then afterwards walk along the new shoreline that's just recently been completed. Woodcut is situated on the ground level of The Crown Casino, in an atmospheric venue, overlooking the beautiful waters, why not make a booking and order some delicious food... like this speical dish I was lucky to photograph... lucky because I got to eat what I shot! Yummo Chef Ross and his Team will look after and the service is 5 stars! You might even see these photos in the Australian Review food section!

19.01.2022 Creating content, consistently isnt hard if you know how to repurpose. It needs to be your top priority in market your personal brand effectively. Who doesn't know this man! He's branded himself well, he's iconic and he's everywhere. Love him or hate him, there's no denying he is a huge influencer and a success.... I love that he is so giving with his information even if he cusses (call that passion!) He is one of my favourite examples that I wanted to share with you as this is also what I talk about when I say how you can repurpose your video content or blog into many seperate pieces... Gary V in this video demonstrates how to do it in 30+ different ways... with just ONE piece of content. This is great for Speakers (Turn your keynote into 30+ pieces of content), Entrepreneurs (Turn your blog, create it as a video and slice it up into bite sized content) This stuff is brilliant and makes it so easy to breakdown. How I help is by capturing your personal brand images as visual assets to support your written content, that support your messages. Just like the example shown here. You can do this too! It's simple! Even with the promo and showreel videos I shoot for my clients you can do this and it's high quality and gives amazing results when you know how to slice it up into bite size content... Again all from ONE piece of content. Watch, Love it and take action today to plan ahead for 2020. Let me know your thoughts about this video too. If you need help elevating your brand profile to the next level, ask me, this is what I do, this is what I love and this is what I'm good at. I love helping people get an image library or video showreel and video content. Have a great day Mel xx https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/the-garyvee-content-strateg/

19.01.2022 Quick little video interview and catch up with Adam Simpson from Repetitions Group Fitness and Personal Training located in Rouse Hill. Adam has been running his business for 10 years now and it was good to meet with him and hear about the cool classes he runs there. Shooting Video for gyms is always awesome and fun because there's so much going on! I find people feel more motivated to take action if they see it first, instead of thinking about it. Social Media is a perfect ...platform to shoot some short and sharp sessions to help motivate people to get into shape. Today it was just us there and being a good sport at the end of our interview he demonstrated some of the equipment that helps people get fit, tone up and look and feel great! Video Interviews are also a great way to keep the fires of your social content burning and make it about your client. * CREATE * CONNECT * INSPIRE

19.01.2022 Had an amazing day photographing Dale Beaumont and his wonderful family. A mixture of portrait shots and fun family shots. You could say its literally been a blast... as we heading into the gorgeous city surroundings we all nearly got swept away in the wind! Its like a crazy gale out there. So a quick pit stop into a beautiful cafe! Thank you again, some truly amazing photos and such a fun day!

19.01.2022 Sarah is a brilliant SEO copywriter and content strategist based in Sydney. Sarah "helps teams and business owners plan, create and manage content that engages their audience and inspires them to take action." She has a wide range of experience and understands her clients well. We had some fun around Sydney getting a range of different shots at different locations... even if we had to be quick to get in and get out at some locations!! ;)

19.01.2022 After all these shoots, time to see some results! Speaking of results, if you want the best result for all your commercial, residential and asset lending solutions, look no further then these amazing ladies at Two Birds One Loan. They negotiate for you on your behalf, offer ongoing support, save you money and make the whole process easier, faster and less stressful. They are awesome! I can tell alot by a person by the amount of effort they put into their photoshoots as it oft...en reflects how much they put into their business - treating not only their business branding with respect but also how they treat their customers. If they go above and beyond for their brand, they go above and beyond for their customers and all that they do. The ladies found an excellent location that supported their brand colour and tone and the brief was excellent. Helping me know how best to photo them. So good! This was a fun, stylish and sophisticated shoot. We were shooting for their new website, profile, marketing and PR. Plus they have stacks more in the photo bank ready to use at a moments notice. You may have seen the post on the day where the venue we were shooting at got held up by a man in the next room we were in. We were oblivious to the situation until we saw people running and police/detectives turning up. Bit of excitement added to an already fun and exciting day. So if you are in the business of looking for a home or commercial loan, investment load, asset and equipment finance, be sure to have a chat to Alissa and Elouise from Two Birds One Loan Here's a selection of the many, many ones they received See more

18.01.2022 This is why I love photographing and filming talented keynote speakers because of the inspiration and energy they give to others. At the end of a 15 minute keynote speech they can fill your mind with ideas, thoughts, shift your mindset and evoke emotion. They make you laugh and keep you entertained. Its their clever ability to take the audience on a journey. To get the message out to a wider audience to show their purpose is so important for connection and inspiration. Hanging out With some of the best

If you want an awesome rockstar-styled shoot, let's chat, the results and experience are worth it!

16.01.2022 Last week it was an honour to partner with one of Australias leading Speaker Bureaus, Ovations. They manage ODE Management, Ovations and Standing Ovations speakers and I had the pleasure of being at their showcases this year and wow, what an incredible calibre of speakers who just rock the stage and find that incredible balance between entertainment and education so that they are consistently engaging their audiences. If youre an event manager looking to book some talent fo...r next year its worthwhile getting in contact with the events team here.

Video just works if you want to be seen and heard. How will you stand out in 2020?

11.01.2022 Whilst it's been a long time since I've decided to stop shooting engagements and weddings, as the focus has changed to Personal Brand Shoots, I can't help but say yes to the beautiful people I've been lucky to meet over the years. This gorgeous woman got engaged to a wonderful man and a few years ago this month she sang at another wonderful couples wedding and it was amazing!! So of course it was a pleasure photographing this engagement, set at a beautiful home in the Hills.... Everything was just classy and had so much thought put into it! I was busily running around capturing some great details they put out. So I can only imagine how incredible their wedding day will be. Congratulations J&T! <3 <3

08.01.2022 I'm excited to share Lucy Bloom’s brand new HYBRID speaker showreel for 2020. We took some of her pre-covid, live onstage keynote, mixed in her 2020 virtual online keynotes. As well as filming some face to camera dialog in the studio, and finally including some images from our recent brand shoot together which we overlayed the text from her testimonials on. Lucy is bold, courageous, speaks up and has a big heart, Most of all she is sooo funny! She's had incredible life experi...ences (which you can read in her book "Get The Girls Out"). Therefore it was important to ensure so her speaker reel reflected this with the use of great colours, imagery and bold text. Not to mention a killer soundtrack on top. Speakers, updating your speaker showreel is essential in helping you to get more bookings, especially now in the current environment. If you need more virtual video assets, or to get your showreel done, let's chat as I'll be regularly putting on more virtual speaker days to help you build a killer showreel. More details available here: https://melindahirdphotography.com.au/virtual-presentation/ Lucy is one of the top speakers in Australia.

08.01.2022 What an incredible day! Yesterday I held my very first, original "Speaker Demo Day", videoing 6 incredible and talented speakers. They were the clever ones who booked in early and will receive not just one but 3 incredible videos to support their marketing including one "Stand Out" speaker showreel at the end. I was completely blown away by their content. Each speaker, each having completely different topics that was just super interesting, yet they all had the same purpose...... to share their experiences, knowledge and expertise. To help others see and do things differently. It was just amazing. I was surprised how effortless the day went and it was due to their professionalism and of course my amazing team and husband, I can't thank you enough for coming along with me on my vision and passions all the way. I so proud and lucky to have you all by my side. By having an upto date showreel is the best way to get seen, heard and of course become known! I cannot wait to share the final results! Until then, here's a couple of behind the scenes photos to share. Thank you so much Amanda, Sharon, Drew, Kerry, Alice and Hany for trusting me to capture this for you. First of many to come!

08.01.2022 Quick tip on how to use your photograph on social media. Find a photo that’s landscape and offers space either left or right for you to add text. Now add your own original quote, tag line or information. This is a way to build connection and brand awareness, build influence or share with your audience your personality and thoughts that they may resonate with them.

07.01.2022 You may have seen many speakers quickly begin to position themselves as virtual online presenters and trainers during the last couple of months ... and they are getting paid for this. With still so much uncertainty as to when things will return back to some form of 'normal'. in the meantime Virtual Events and presentations have increased across the globe as we speak. The world has embraced this quicker thanks to Covid-19 This whole virtual experience is proving to be very suc...cessful...surprising many how well it is going. So much so that they are likely to stay for good. So Imagine the additional speaking opportunities and the benefits this can provide to you as a speaker right now and in the future. Which is why I am offering a limited time only to help speakers update their showreels. Check out the link below to find out more. https://melindahirdphotography.com.au/showreel-offer/ A good showreel will sell you on your behalf! In-demand speakers have a professional showreel to represent their brand and rarely settle for just good enough. Dont make the mistake in taking the short cut because that short cut will cost you more in reputation and income. #virtualevents #eventplanning #virtualexperiences #speakershowreels #virtualshowreels

07.01.2022 Keeping to the recent architectural theme shoots, here is another great project that was recently completed by the amazing gentlemen at Construction Consultants. The new Travel Lodge Hotel situated near the Airport. www.constructionconsultants.net.au

07.01.2022 Personal Branding, Editorial Shoot examples

06.01.2022 Still one of my favourite videos that has recently been created, working with John Maflouf who runs Pallium Construction Accountants. A lot of pre-planning work went into this. So essential to get the pre-planning stage done right before production goes ahead. Once that is done right, that's when the creative juices flow in know how to shoot the video to suit the personality of the brand. John is not your typical "average accountant" he has a great sense of humour, a cheeky ...smile and genuinely cares for clients and always goes above and beyond them. He's extremely smart and can see the gaps in businesses that the business owner can't, he provides clarity and works with his clients and helps free them up from the chaos they are in. At Pallium, John provides control, cash flow and certainty so that his clients get peace of mind that business improves cashflow and business owners can get back to doing what they do best. We produced this business showreel and the next step is to create more video content to promote his business more.

06.01.2022 Excited to share the gorgeous results of Heidi Dening an award-winning, keynote speaker on Reliance. We updated her brand portraits, From profile, to candid and styled and everything in between including the pup, we captured a plethora of images that Heidi can now use for her speakers kit, media kit, website and marketing and social visual assets.. and the results were spectacular and came out better than expected!... This is what you can expect when you book me in as your personal brand photographer! Positioning is so important and how you are seen and the effort put into your brand determines how quickly your audience connects to you, relates to you and sees you as the professional you are. The more effort you put into your brand the better positioned you will be and known as the expert in your field. It's my promise to make you look amazing, natural, engaging and exciting!

05.01.2022 Last year I was asked to create a series of videos for PSA (Professional Speakers Australia) The aim behind these videos was to showcase "The Many Faces of PSA" and highlight the benefits of becoming a member. Showcased here, we have the wonderful Ian Stephens. We flew up to Noosa to film Ian in his beautiful home. I love this example as we got to film some video around the place to support his personal and PSA message as well as mix in some of his highlighted keynote talks.... Ian is a wonderful man and it's no wonder he is highly "booked up and in demand" as speaker. This month I'll be hosting a 2nd Speaker Demo Day on the 25th February as the 1st one sold out within 72 hours! It's a brand new product that was developed last year to help speakers "Stand Out" and to "Increase their Visibility and Amplify their Message" in a new and exciting way. Be seen and heard, connect to a wider audience so you can get booked up and in demand and paid your worth the way you deserve to be. An excellent opportunity for established speakers to create new and updated content for 2020 or for emerging speakers that need a demo reel to get on stage. Because no one can book you if you can't demonstrate what it is you currently speak on. Filmed by my talented crew and I, in a prestigious sydney venue you will get amazing video and photography. You will also be able to speak in front of a live audience (*conditions apply). Find out more by emailing at [email protected] or make a booking for a complimentary discovery call if you have any questions around how to visually make your speaker brand assets Stand Out in 2020 https://vimeo.com/326117187

05.01.2022 I wanted to share with you 5 top tips in how to take better photographs for your business or personal life :)

04.01.2022 Such a cruisey, amazing and fun wedding day in the heart of the beautiful Hunter Valley. Ryan looked handsome, Steph looked beautiful and all their friends and family made the day what it was. Every bit of this day was great, but Steph blew me away with her speech, karaoke skills and it was a wedding where the dance floor was packed the WHOLE Night!

04.01.2022 Another great Personal Branding Portrait shoot with Anne-Marie who runs Paralogic. She is so inspiring on so many levels and now has a great collection of images with personality (and hubby!) for all her marketing needs. Love finding different locations for my clients and being a little bit cheeky in the process of it all!

04.01.2022 All I ever wanted last year was to have more time... more time to focus on my business, my fitness and family... well this strange virus certainly gave us back some time in a weird and wonderful way. Now's the time! Time to create and catch up on all the things you couldn't do beforehand. Creating videos and creating content and consistently will help your brand become more visible, connect you to your audience and create engagement. Here's a simple introduction as to how y...ou can start making more professional looking videos on your smart phone and some examples of some extra equipment that won't break the budget for under $600. Check it out and let me know if you would like to know more on how to set up your own home/office space and start creating some videos.

03.01.2022 Meet Hunter Leonard and his brand new portraits! Hunter is a wonderful, smart, thoughtful Business Owner, CEO and Founder of Silver&Wise. He is the Author of "Generation Experience", he is a well known Keynote Speaker ...and (my favorite) an Anti-Ageism Activist! Recently we updated his profile and marketing imagery with a stack left over, ready to use for his PR, as Hunter as he is about to launch his brand NEW book "The Experience Equation" the fight against discrimination... and ageism. Below are examples of what you can expect when you book in to do a photoshoot with me. Not only do you receive your top 20 images professionally retouched but for a limited time, you'll receive ALL of the images from our shoot. How great is that! Not because I need to (it's been crazy lately) but because I feel during this time, we can't ignore our profile and presence. How we show up, be seen and heard is incredibly important for you and your business. Living in a digital age where consumers are visual buyers, we all know we need to consistently have updated images and videos out there. Here you have your portraits covered for your profile, marketing, website and you'll be PR and ready at a moment's notice. PLUS (with the right photographer), you will own stacks more in your personal photo library ready at a moment's notice. That's the real prize, your own image library. Take a look at below for an example. How cool is that tall bookcase! Perfect for Authors! There's a variety of images suited for a variety of needs. If you're needing to update your profile, reach out, love to have a chat and see what can be done for you. #letsstopagesim See more

02.01.2022 Lots of great food shots recently captured from some of Sydney's best restaurants such as Neil Perry's Jade Temple, Bibo in Double Bay, Paper Bird in Potts point and Sasaki in the city. Yummy!!! Best part of these jobs is being able to sample some of these dishes! :)

02.01.2022 It's an exciting (and busy) time of the year. Lots of people are tying up ends in both their business and gifts! It's that time of year where people come to celebrate the year it was and enjoy great company, food and festivities! At the PSA Professional Speakers Australia Cocktails last week not only did we get to hear from some great guest speakers and PSA members who entertained us, there was time to exchange gifts and Dale presented this is a clever and engaging way with... a poem she did that involved PSA members get a gift, some keeping it, others swapping it. It made it even more fun. We also saw Dale hand over the PSA President reins to Philip. Welcome to Philip for 2020 of new beginnings for a new decade! Here are some highlights from the night and you can see the happiness on their faces.

01.01.2022 Personal Branding images say alot about YOU! It's about connecting more strongly with your clients and audiences and letting them into your life and business, sharing with them more of what you do. A collection of images works amazing well in telling your story and photographs captured in an environment that makes sense to you!... Susan Kath is an incredible Nutritionist who quite simple knows her stuff! I actually had such low energy when I came to do this shoot, just run down and all. Susan gave me a good dose of Vitamin B and some other vitamins and before long my energy levels increased! Plus there was the excitement of a cute bunny to play and photograph too! Definitely worth getting in touch with Susan, she is an absolutely amazing woman!
