I blinked, and now it is February. Last year seems so far away and yet simultaneously it seems like only yesterday. February will fly even faster, and before we know it, my favourite seasons of the year will be here: autumn and winter are just around the corner. It's still pretty early to establish a true sense of what 2012 will be about for me, but from what January has shown me, it's

I made a trip to see Thom Stuart's Backgrounds exhibition at the Love Love Studios in Teneriffe. Apart from being an experienced designer, having worked for Brisbane design agencies Oblong + Sons and Bright Yellow, he is also a passionate painter. Below are some photos I took of the evening. My favourite piece was "Old Circles are Sick of Us" (the wreath-like painting, a photo of which

Tonight I took a trip down a digital memory lane, and revisited some of the earliest photos I ever took. The above is a photo from the very first proper, paid photoshoot I did in 2007 with my good friend Jen and her partner, Brendan, on my almost two-years-old (at the time) Canon EOS 350D. I also revisited these photos to compare my past re-touching skills (which were virtually non-existent)

A brilliant year, ended in a brilliant way. Christmas & New Year's Eve at the Santiago household. I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas, a refreshing New Year and that 2012 is good to you.

The end of 2010 brought me to a strange place. Everything that I had worked towards my entire life up until that point had come to a close. My future post-2010 was uncertain. Walking into 2011 with very little expectation of what should happen meant that, in many ways, it became phenomenally better than last year. I lived young in the way I wanted to live young: by unashamedly throwing myself

On Saturday, driving southbound on the Gateway Motorway, I drove right through this (smoke billowed through my car as my windows were open at the time). I just had to pull over and take photos. I was so caught up in the chaos that I walked barefoot several kilometers back to the scene with my camera from where I had parked my car.A few other photos here at my set on Flickr.

Ever been stuck on what to get your beloved graphic designer/photographer/arty hipster friend for that special occasion, be it birthdays, anniversaries, or Christmas? Look no further: I've come to your rescue. As a person who ticks all of the boxes for the above, you can trust nobody better for this kind of advice. It might be a little late for Christmas present shopping with only 11 days left

I'm pretty pleased to announce that I have limited edition prints of each of my pieces that I exhibited at the 'We Heart Holidays' exhibition. 'Breathe Easy' and 'Live Young' are mixed media works where I re-contextualised a combination of different photographs from over the years and designed custom typography specifically for each of the pieces. The concept centers around what holidays

The We Heart Collective celebrated 2011, holidays and the opening of our final exhibition of the year at Kerbside Bar last night. Thank you very much to all those who attended and a huge thanks to the folks at Kerbside for making it a great night! I was also particularly stoked to shoot the entire night with not only my new 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, but a belated birthday present from Dominique:

I had the pleasure of attending the 100 Creatives party hosted by Design Montage last Thursday night at Desmond & Molly Jones in Woolloongabba, in celebration of 100 creatives being featured on the website to date. Some of you may remember my interview on Design Montage from a few months back. There was good food, wine, and lots of creatives crammed into a lovely, cosy

  I was trying to be in two places at once on the 11th. Coming from the Gold Coast in the morning, to West End in the afternoon, back to the Gold Coast for the Rabbit&Cocoon launch, back to West End for Miss Elm's EP Launch. For those who aren't aware, Rabbit&Cocoon is a not-for-profit creative hub, providing us artists and collectives across all art forms (fashion, music, design, photography,

I'm pretty pleased to finally be able to reveal the film work I did for the awesome Brisbane-based printing company ColourChiefs. For those who don't know, the Chiefs have done work for clients such as the Queensland Government, The University of Queensland, Brisbane Airport, QSuper and heaps of other big and small name companies within Queensland. I worked with them to create a

After working with Brisbane singer/songwriter Erin Louise (aka Miss Elm) throughout the year to produce her EP album artwork (together with artist Nessa Beth), her tour posters, business cards and photography, all our hard work came to a close with Miss Elm's Launch Night on 11th November. It was a really enjoyable night with much dancing and as always, the sounds of Miss Elm and her band

Apart from celebrating with a small group of very close friends and my immediate family, I also knew that this occasion would involve me inevitably writing up a blog post and posting a few photos.

The Paper Kites were one of the support bands (together with Ball Park Music) on Thursday night when I saw the brilliant Boy & Bear. I'm pretty damn pleased to have found yet another wonderful set of voices to add to the rest of the music I'm so fond of, so I thought I'd share them with you.

I really, really love this series of work by Australian photographer Toby Burrows. I saw the Fallen series exhibited at the Retrospect Gallery in Broadbeach after Analogue/Digital last week. Props to the model for posing so brilliantly—it's pretty damn hard to make falling look so beautiful. Please go to his official website to see more of his brilliant work.

On Friday I went to the Analogue/Digital Creative Conference and listened to five great Australian, home-grown speakers who have had a strong stance and influence in the creative industries to date. My favourite speakers were Billabong's art director, fashion photographer and graphic designer extraordinaire Claudio Kirac, three-man Melbourne design studio South South West and co-founder of Deus

On Saturday I had the privilege of attending TEDx Brisbane 2011 held at the State Library of Queensland. Some of you may be familiar with the various TED videos online that discuss a variety of topics from science, social issues, the environment, creativity and more: the TEDx conferences held globally every year bring the idea sharing platform to reality, hosted by independent organisers.

Steve Jobs. Image via Apple.com For some people, Steve Jobs was just 'the guy responsible for the iPod' and a really rich man. For others, he was the co-founder of a company with ridiculously overpriced products. For me, Steve Jobs was the Leonardo da Vinci of our era, a rare and inspirational gift to humanity. Not only was he responsible for so many of the things that are now common

Today we enter the last week of the ninth month of the year. The air is definitely warmer, the crowds have flocked to the beaches and the days are once again longer. Amidst all this, somehow nine whole months of this year has flown past. Thirty-six weeks ago I was looking at the year with excited eyes, ready for whatever brand new things lay ahead of me.

Like most folks, I have a lot to thank my father for. But unlike most folks, we are twice migrants. My life as I know it today would be completely different; nothing of what I have today would be here without either of my parents making the decisions that they made. We have been first-hand witnesses to how tough, exhausting and scary it has been, moving to countries where you have no family and

Fellow designers, I'm having a crisis of all sorts. I'm hoping you can help. I do a lot of brand identity projects at work, but I put my heart into a particular one. Which is why I have taken this so personally. I've gotten a lot of rejections and frustrating clients, so don't think this is because I'm a new kid on the block:I have about 130 clients under my belt within the 8 months I've been at

My story is that with a humble beginning. I was born and raised in a country where corrupt politicians had ruled and left behind a struggling nation; where things that come as a standard part of life in Australia such as clean drinking water straight from the tap are hard to come by. Although I previously visited The Philippines seven years ago, looking at my first home again with the eyes of

Today, me and my sister fly back to our mother land: The Philippines. It has been seven years since we last visited, and about 15 years since we left to move to New Zealand. These photos were taken on Saturday afternoon, our last weekend in Australia for two weeks. I'll miss the wintry climate, our house, our dog and life in general as we get launched into tropical, humid temperatures,

The finished quilt, sewn all together for us by Porsha Marais! Thanks Porsha! I went to the Brisbane Home Festival at Kangaroo Point on Sunday, where the We Heart Collective was asked to participate. We banded together to create a quilt which we naturally called our We Heart Home exhibition, making three quilt squares each to make one final quilt to display on the day.

This shoot is something that's been in my sketchbook for a long time. You can't imagine how excited I was to finally be able to do this shoot with a great team and how much I'm pleased that everything actually worked out (despite weather forecasts telling us the day could have gone in the complete opposite direction). My concept for the We Heart Winter exhibition opening in mid-late July was

A few of my favourite shots from the Pineapples and Summer swimwear collection lookbook for Clare Collyer. Clare designed her colourful range of swimwear with a geometric pattern inspired by pineapples, and I don't know why, but I instantly thought: this would be perfect for a 'backyard summer pool party' setting. The only other thing this shoot needed was for somebody to be cooking something

Had a lot of fun shooting this swimwear lookbook for fashion designer friend Clare Collyer today even if it was an unusually warm winter day—it's like the sun knew what we wanted. A little different from my normal shooting style but I enjoyed it nonetheless. More to come soon.

On Wednesday I had the privilege of being invited to take photos at The Mohawk Show which celebrates 'both the brains and beauty of design' as well as fine paper. This annual industry event was held at Lightspace in Fortitude Valley and showcased the International entries for the competition as well as some great examples of modern design by Australians. You'll remember that I recently

Sunset over Brisbane on May 31. HDR. With the month of June brings winter, my favourite time of year in Brisbane. Layers of clothes, mist in the morning, amazing sunsets, being able to walk around in pants without sweating—what's not to like? June also brings for me, however, an incredibly busy month. I will be heading overseas in a month's time to my mother land, The Philippines, for the

I recently had the pleasure of working with Simon and Jenna from The Hungry Workshop, Brisbane letterpress printers and graphic designers. After enjoying my photos and video of the Queenslake Letterpress Exhibition (the prints of which they printed) they came to me and asked me to make a special film for them, and I happily said yes. We've been working on this project secretly for some time

I stopped by Stop Flooding My Record Collection on Thursday night, an exhibition uniting lovers of design, vinyl and Queensland. Already making its debut in Melbourne, SFMRC naturally made its way to Brisbane, where this project began: ...in the study we came across a large, waterlogged stack – 50 years of lovingly collected jazz records. Maybe it was our sulking, maybe it was our refusal to

This year Mother's Day was quiet; we didn't go out with the exception of me and my mother going for coffee and to drool over homewares at Wheel & Barrow (well, I did most of the drooling). We ended up purchasing these frosted white vases (pictured above) which I really wanted the other day but convinced myself not to buy; but then we found a good purpose for them: our Mother's Day dinner at home

This is the first video I've done that has actually gone for the full length of the song. Luke and I decided to make the most of this year's five-day-long Easter/ANZAC weekend and headed down for a small getaway to Yamba in New South Wales, a four hour drive south from Brisbane. We saw wild kangaroos, twin rainbows, boats stranded amongst grass, power poles painted with tartan patterns and

You Are A Tourist by Death Cab for Cutie. I love a lot of things about this music video and this song: the brilliant guitar work, the lyrics, the creative direction, the flashing lights in their suits; how towards the end of the video the dancers hold up Fujifilm Instax Mini cameras just like the one I have, and how the dancers and the lights on the floor are fractal-like, reminiscent of those

We celebrated making our 1000th website at work this week, which is an awesome achievement for a business that's only existed within the past 2 years. Our celebrations took place at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Cleveland Point; I had never been before but it's the perfect venue. This coupled with the fact our afternoon coincided with one of the best sunsets I've ever seen (HDR photo above),

Yesterday I assisted Rachel Aust yet again, this time on a lookbook shoot for Sunshine Coast-based fashion label 'Til Death Do Us 'Part. The finished photos from Rachel won't be up until September as the lookbook is for Summer 2012, but here are behind the scenes shots (these can also be found in the Behind the Scenes: Rachel Aust Shoots set on Flickr).

I'm a big cold weather fan. It's only the fourth day of April, but I can see the signs of the Australian autumn already. There's already less moisture in the air, the wind is actually cold instead of warm, and the sunsets are spectacular with awesome cloud patterns forming in the skies—something that I've felt seems to happen more during this time of year. Whilst The Big Wet is still continuing

Tonight I went to Flat White Spaces in support of fellow Gold Coast QCA creatives Dominique Falla and Joelle Peters. All artists contributing to the exhibition had their own distinct style which is why I personally felt the exhibition was a great success—albeit all having different styles, they were all able to come together within one creative space, with no piece distracting or taking

Last Friday, Luke and I shot our first wedding. We took at least 1, 000 photos each during a very busy 13 hours. I don't want to write too much more as I'd like the photos to tell you how the day went—but I think you'll agree with me when I say that the day was full of good times. I thank the universe for giving us a day with great weather and such a happy couple to shoot. We hope you enjoy the

A sneaky little preview of what's to come from a really great wedding. 13 hours of shooting left Luke and I with RSI in our right arms and hands and about 1, 300 photos each to go through and edit over the coming days; not to mention being exhausted. But I'm really happy to say that I'm pleased with how the photos are looking so far. Can't wait to show the rest!

Jonas Peterson proves that you can still take great photos at small, not-so-extravagant weddings. Luke and I are shooting our first wedding in two days' time (Friday, 25th March). This is an exciting step for us as photographers and I can only hope to shoot more weddings as the years go on. Jonas Peterson forever inspires and motivates me to continue on this avenue of photography, and despite

March has been so incredibly chaotic. I seem to be going to one event after another after another after another. Luke and I are shooting our first wedding this Friday, and to say that I am nervous is an absolute understatement. Today I went to two different birthday celebrations: my uni friend and fellow designer Lindsay Howard, and my mother's birthday dinner at Ginga Japanese Restaurant and

It seems as if the 'end of the world in 2012' thing isn't far off, with one natural disaster after another from the Queensland and Victorian floods, to the quake in New Zealand, to the Japan earthquake and tsunami, which has led to one of Japan's nuclear plants starting to release radioactive chemicals and forcing almost 200,000 people surrounding the nuclear plant to evacuate. It seems utterly

I got my Queenslake Letterpress prints from The Hungry Workshop yesterday and I am so in love. So happy that the money I paid for this will be going towards the Queensland Flood Appeal and I got  beautiful things in return, not to mention beautiful pieces crafted by age-old letterpress machinery.  Don't forget that the floods are still happening in parts of Queensland, especially the parts that

Last night myself and fellow Brisbane folk with creative bones in their bodies flocked like a moth to a flame to Kerbside Lounge Bar in the Valley for the Queenslake Letterpress Exhibition. The event was a huge success, with so many people crowding up the cosy laneway bar that some people actually had to be turned away. So many bodies in one space meant that the already unbearable Brisbane

Tomorrow evening myself and fellow creatives will be gathering at Kerbside Lounge Bar to have a few drinks and enjoy the work of some of Queensland's best designers and illustrators, who have banded to help fellow Queenslanders in a great time of need in the Queenslake Letterpress Exhibition.

Christchurch Cathedral during February, 2010. Christchurch Cathedral utterly destroyed, February 2011. Our end of the world is going crazy. First the Queensland floods, Victoria floods, then Cyclone Yasi and now, the most devastating of the aftershocks since the September 4 earthquake in New Zealand has claimed more than 70 lives.

I am so excited to be attending the We Heart Paper exhibition next Monday. This is an exhibition displaying the collective awesomeness of some of the most talented creative women I know, who banded together in the name of paper, a medium not really given too much credit and appreciation in this increasing digital world. If you live in South East Queensland and you are interested in attending

Taken along the Brisbane Valley Highway near Wivenhoe Pocket Road Yesterday Luke and I took our first country drive of the year to use our brand new cameras (Nikon D7000 and Canon 5D MK II respectively) for the first proper time but sadly, the images we captured were of flood ravaged townships here in South-East Queensland. We drove west of Brisbane towards the country regions of Fernvale, Esk,

Brisbane River: 12 September, 2010 Brisbane River: 13 January, 2010 Here in Australia we face some pretty severe and temperamental weather. The past few months we in Queensland have been given day after day after day of rain with barely any sun in between thanks to a La Nina weather pattern, but ironically it wasn't that long ago that many in Queensland were praying for rain to come.

Here we are again, at another 'the year that was' post. I love reading 'the year that was' posts; the year meant something a little different for every individual, but somehow there's still a common emotion shared or lesson learnt between all of us that can really sum up how it was for everyone (for example, Carina's blog post about the year pretty much sums it up more succinctly than I could

Sarah, Chris and I post-graduation. On Monday I completed one of many life milestones—I graduated. I was one of the last to graduate with the 'Bachelor of Visual Media' title from Griffith University's Queensland College of Art. After the degree name was changed to Digital Media in our second year, only a few of us got the chance to ask and be approved to have it reverted to our original degree

A few weeks ago I completed photography and album artwork for an old high school acquaintance who is an incredibly talented singer named Lara. Just finishing her Masters in Music Studies, Lara hired me to design her assessment piece—a jazz album titled Bluesette. Lara handed me the finished product today after getting everything printed herself before handing it in for submission. This

Always kiss me goodnight.  I've uploaded 10 of my favourite images from my shoot with Jen and Brendan yesterday, although I have to say, deciding on which ones to put up was so difficult. I cannot emphasise enough how enjoyable it is to take photos of these two; every time I edited one of the photos I couldn't help but smile. I know I've known them for a long time and they aren't just a normal

Although I haven't had a very huge experience in shooting couples, Jen and Brendan will probably always be my favourite. They are never shy or awkward and they're both into it and it's great, even if we were bitten by plenty of flies/mosquitoes/assorted insects and there was a lot of driving. Here's a sneak peek of the final edited shots (which I edited in record time because I just couldn't

Dinner at La Dolce Vita. So it was my birthday on Saturday. I had a good evening but unfortunately as a consequence of taking care of Luke who's been sick the past week and a half, I too got sick and still had it on my birthday. I didn't have much of a voice by the end of the night (and still don't two days later) but I'm hoping the piles of drugs will help the both of us. The rest of this

This blog post is solely dedicated to items I've accumulated over the past few weeks/months that I am so excited about, minus my latest clothing and shoes purchases (this blog post would be way longer). My bank account is not as excited as I am, of course, but ah, never mind that. I will also re-update this blog after my birthday on Saturday (but if I don't get any presents then I guess you won't

Dad, Celine, Mom. My little sister graduated from high school yesterday and will hopefully starting a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Queensland next year, if all goes well with her final results. Congratulations Lene! The past few weeks have been so unreal. I haven't even come to terms with my own graduation from uni—in fact I probably won't come to terms with it

Exactly a week ago, us third years from the Queensland College of Art's Bachelor of Visual Media degree had our graduate exhibition. We will be the last to graduate under this degree name, with the degree being changed to 'Bachelor of Digital Media' at the beginning of this year. As I am in the graphic design major you'll probably only see photos of graphic designers and our exhibition spaces; I

If you live in South-East Queensland and you are feeling generous, in the mood to party and in the mood to hang out with awesome people, you should come to QCA Gold Coast’s End of Year graduate exhibition. Come join myself and my graduating cohort as we celebrate the end. You'll have a chance to see what the past three years has made us into—works will be on display and some even for sale not

On Saturday Luke and I met Sarah-Rose & Ryan for their engagement shoot. They will be getting married in March next year and Luke and I will have the lucky (as well as terrifying) privilege of shooting our first wedding. I don't know how many people would let someone who has never shot a wedding before shoot what will arguably be the most important day of their lives, but I'm very thankful

Portfolio, business cards, stamp. Thanks to Blurb and uber express shipping I got my portfolio a week early. The thing that I've been stressing over for the past semester and essentially the 'summary' of how far I've progressed within the three years of this degree. I've taken a few photos of it today as I am pretty excited about it, but I can't show much more, it will ruin it! For those in

Well the end is in sight. The career I've been aiming to have and dreaming of for years will become a reality quite soon. I officially finish classes in about three weeks, with our end of year exhibition two weeks after that, then our graduation ceremony a month after that. Last night (well, really early this morning) I submitted my portfolio for printing after many weeks and late nights getting

My business' latest client: my old friend since primary school, Gwen. The shoot was for head shots for her acting portfolio, so they're a little simple but still show that she can do different looks. I didn't upload that many photos (only the four that you see here). I lied, I forgot a photo. See the rest on Flickr. Meanwhile, stay tuned for my first big shoot next weekend (first weekend of

Photos uploaded to my Flickr from this year's Riverfire. I didn't feel that my photo of the F1-11's final famed dump and burn was worth uploading so you won't find it there; unfortunately, this year the plane took a different flight path and there was only one plane instead of the usual two. On a side note, Luke and I waited at our spot for a very long, sweltering, sticky 6-7 hours — if we

When I procrastinate, I try to create. In this instance a few nights ago, I was feeling so dreadfully uninspired that I forced myself to do a digital art piece. I played with one image to another to another, scrapping them all, before this piece came to mind. Just a quick digital art piece focused around Megan Washington, Australian singer/songwriter whose debut album "I Believe You Liar" came

...Things are getting simpler, and it’s making life better. Here’s the cheat sheet: People want to be liked. We all crave attention and affection and we all reject shame. When we get embarrassed we send a thug version of ourselves to the forefront to do our fighting for us. We’re at the top of the food chain just under fear.  We don’t want to be in a relationship to hear the words “I love you,”

We had only just discovered the device in Borders! I have always been really, really, really skeptical about these e-book reader things, but after seeing and experiencing these at Borders I decided they weren't so bad after all.

I assisted Rachel Aust on this shoot on Saturday. I was pretty excited, considering that everytime I've ever driven past that particular forest I've said 'I swear one day I'm going to drag a model down there and shoot her!' (but in the least psychopathic sense possible). Photographer: Rachel Aust Stylist: Bette Fox (Birdrib) Makeup: Taylor Kimler Hair Stylist: Eric Hofmeister Models: Eliza Hall

Last night my role at the Ken Cato Industry Networking Seminar (Gold Coast, Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa) was not to be a student, but the photographer. "Who is Ken Cato and what is this event", you might be asking. Ken Cato is one of Australia's leading graphic designers and has completed work for almost every big name you've seen and heard of, from SBS to Woolworths to Coles. His agency is

Business cards I designed for Birdrib for Bette Fox (aka Liz Nguyen). She regularly works with photographer Rachel Aust to style shoots and design the outfits if needs be. I'm so happy to have designed these cards for yet another very creative and talented individual!

To continue with my determination to get more portrait shots done this year, I asked one of my first year students (I am a Queensland College of Art mentor) if she'd like to do a shoot with me. I'm so glad that firstly, she has the look and wardrobe that I was after, and secondly that she was willing to come all the way up to Brisbane from the coast just to do this and let me boss her around all

After I posted my call out for models, my long time friend since primary school Bethany was the first to bag me for a shoot. After about a week or so of planning we came up with a few costume and location ideas to try out. Driving to our first location was not a success, as we got there only to discover that the roads to it were blocked off due to an event. After some aimless driving, Bethany
