INTRODUCING GOOD SHOT MATE
1/ What sparked your interest in photography?
My interest in photography actually started when I went travelling to Korea.
That was when I bought my first camera, a (now discontinued) Samsung NX-500.
I started learning the ins and outs of my camera, as well as composition and lighting,
taking it everywhere with me on the streets of Seoul and Busan.
I fell in love with the craft, and since then I have been taking all kinds of photos.
Nowadays I specialise in portraits.

2/ What is your favourite season and time of day to shoot?
Spring and 5-6pm, I love shooting with clear skies and colourful flowers,
paired with soft angled lighting or even at golden hour.
3/ Which is your favourite lens and why?
Hands down: Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art, I’ve used this lens exclusively
for the last two years for all of my shoots. It’s my favourite focal length to capture
a portrait subject in their landscape, and it has a great bokeh (depth of field).
4/ What is your favourite subject to photograph?
Portraits. I find that it is the most interesting thing to capture and observe.

5/ Tell us about your inspiration for Good Shot Mate and how it was born?
For a couple years, I have been organising a variety of photography events in
Melbourne. One day a Brisbane based photography community reached out to me
and said “we want you to host one under our brand in Melbourne”,
and I agreed to the task. We organised a road trip to the Great Ocean Road,
with 10 photographers, 2 models, 1 bus. We traveled to three amazing locations,
took many great photos and had an amazing creative journey filled with collaboration.
We arrived back in the city for dinner and had a discussion around the table.
"This was amazing, let’s continue doing this under our own name." So we had a
think of what kind of title would suit our newfound community, and that’s how
Good Shot Mate was born.
6/ If we are looking to start our photography journey, what equipment would you recommend?
I’d recommend using what is currently available to you, whether that be your phone
or a camera you have at home. Learn the ins and outs of it and try to use it as
much as possible to grasp the principles of photography.
7/ Top 5 tips for beginner photographers learning to shoot?
  • 1/ Take photos as often as possible; practice is everything
  • 2/ Learn from the greats; follow photographers that inspire you
  • 3/ Join photography events to learn skills from others, as well as network and make friends
  • 4/ Don’t be afraid to ask others for advice/collaboration
  • 5/ Don’t stop!
8/ What photo editing software do you use? Take us through your editing process…
After my photoshoots, I mainly use Adobe Lightroom to sort through photos, edit colours and tone, exporting etc.

Then I use Adobe Photoshop for any retouching work or image manipulation.

9/ Top 3 tips on how to capture an interesting photo?
In general:
1/ Use different angles to your advantage. Try a variety of high, medium and low angles and see which one works best in each scenario.
2/ Try to stick to a colour palette. Some colours go better together than others, so it would be good to know what you’re working with and how it can make the photo more interesting.
3/ Try to capture an emotion. Facial expressions and body language are key communicators of emotion in a photo.

10/ When you go travelling, what is a must-have to take with you?
Bring an extra battery or SD card. Nothing worse than arriving at your dream
destination and running out of juice!
