Corporate Portraits - WeWork, 333 George Street Sydney

Recently I had the pleasure to photograph Barry Meskin Patent and Trademark Attorney at Baxter IP Patent & Trademark Attorneys.

Barry understood the need the to update his Personal Branding Images. You need to stay fresh and looking up to date when building your business profile. You can't keep using the same image for all your social media, people will get stale of seeing the same image. You will create a better memorable impact with a series of professional portraits. The portraits are ideal for LinkedIn, Company Website, Blogging, PR Announcements and Print Marketing material.

Our Personal Branding Photography Shoots are designed around you and your business. We collaborate together and create the look and feel of your photography shoot. We can guide you with styling assistance, photography location and hair and makeup. The location of this shoot was WeWork at 333 George Street Sydney. Actually, the building was designed by a client of mine Grimshaw Architects. WeWork offers a range different cool locations and looks within the same location. Excellent for photography purposes. including an amazing outdoor terrace with stunning Sydney City views. 

If you feel you would like have a chat about how Mackintosh Photography can help you with your personal branding portraits, please give us a call. 

Educational Architecture Photography - St Benedict’s Catholic College

Mackintosh Photography has been photographing St Benedict’s Catholic College in Oran Park in Sydney's South West for numerous years during the development of the various stages designed by Fulton Trotter Architects in Bondi Sydney. The College is a new secondary school developed on a greenfield site in Sydney’s South-West. The architects developed a master plan for the site in 2011 to be completed across a number of stages. Previous stages have included a covered outdoor learning center, the School’s administration building, the science building including 6 teaching labs and associated prep areas, food and technology block, art's building and the latest stage 4 is the new school library building. 

Colour is an important feature in the design of the library with bold colours throughout all the school, which brings learning spaces to fruition. It was used to create focal points, break up the learning space and to accentuate important elements found within the interior.

I enjoy shooting this school and seeing it grow and develop. Almost like the school pupils themselves. The many architectural design features of the newly growing school features, bold colours with dynamic soaring roof lines and strong graphic signage all work to give the desired sense of presence to the school.

Futon Trotter Architects will be entering this project into this year's Architectural Industry Awards. We regularly photograph architects completed projects and sometimes during construction. Architects commission photography of their projects for several reasons such as industry awards like The National Architecture Awards, to raise the practice's profile through marketing on their website and social media like Instagram. And of course to help win new business through showcasing the practices latest designs in their portfolio.

Artist Portraits - Sydney

LOST 2016

Each year Mackintosh Photography is commissioned by Leichhardt Council to photograph local artist's in the Rozelle, Balmain, Leichhardt and Lilyfield suburbs in Sydney's Inner West.
"I love crafting these candid portraits of the artist. Often they are shy at first but then warm up a bit when we casually chat about their painting, sculptures, ceramics or art installations.  The galleries and studios are in old disused buildings, warehouses or even their own homes. Fascinating to visit. "It's a very rewarding and creative photographic assignment." - Justin Mackintosh, Photographer. 

LOST 2016 was the fifth run of the popular studio trail, which is growing in strength, and numbers each year. LOST 2016 saw 58 spaces open their doors on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March, 2016.

Each year we find new artists willing to open their doors into normally private worlds, joining forces on the trail to showcase the strength and diversity of the arts community in our local area. LOST offers opportunities to join guided bicycle tours, attend free workshops, participate in hands on activities, and much more.

LOST invites the wider public to see a wide range of creative ventures, and with such a wide array of genres, styles and materials in use, everyone will be able to find a number of artworks that speak to them personally in the way only art can. Visitors to LOST 2016 had the opportunity to view street art, video, painting, sculpture, mixed media, stencil art, illustration, printmaking, mosaics, glass art, ceramics, flute making, furniture making, millinery, photography, jewellery, drawing and textile art.
