SPORT & FITNESS PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2020

David Ross, a sports and lifestyle photographer from the Central Coast NSW, is an energetic, passionate creative who is happy to go the extra mile to get the job done.

His ability to capture dynamic movement while making images look smooth and natural is a skill he has honed from years spent shooting within the ocean and high-speed sports. Through his photography he can translate power and strength in athletes whilst highlighting versatility and features in products. He creates clean, powerful images that move and inspire.

David Ross has built his portfolio over the past five years working with brands such as Reebok, TWL, Under Armour, Rebel Sport, Corona, Ford Australia and Travellers Autobarn among others.

Through these projects he has worked with top level competitive athletes, explorative travellers, iconic landscapes and trending products alike.

His work has taken him through Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand and across Australia.

Eric Yip of EYXL Photo has been fortunate during the COVID period to continue with work and the ability to execute personal projects. Experimenting with lighting, locations and styles, it has resulted in new perspectives and techniques which he is very keen to bring to his assignments. 

His images aim to be dynamic and emotive; continually developing his ability to engage with his subjects to bring out these very elements on set with a good dose of light-heartedness!

Full-production capable, Eric and his studio will be keen to explore creating images with you in Australia and beyond.

A full refresh on his recent client work and personal projects are here and Instagram. 

Graeme Murray loves creating: his whole career has been in the image industry. After training in professional photography, his early days saw him working at one of New Zealand's top audio/visual production companies. He was responsible for creating, developing and producing product launches for New Zealand's largest corporations, using various types of multimedia, from theatrical lighting, to video slide projection and interactive graphics, to set design and - the most fun - pyrotechnics! 

The desire to be shooting led him into running his own successful photography business. Graeme now works with clients and agencies on projects that include portraiture, people, lifestyle and sport related to advertising. He takes all his knowledge and experience from previous work in the AV and TV industries into his photography, so dealing with any situation is effortless.

He has a great rapport with clients and the production crew on jobs and goes beyond the norm to make sure the shoot meets and exceeds expectations.

Clients include Red Bull, Adidas, Specialized Bikes USA, Samsung, Wendy's, VW, John Deere, AIG, Ford, Bendon, Ozone, Atomic, Tourism New Zealand and Mac Pac Outdoor Clothing, Powerade, Fonterra, Under Armour, among others.

Graeme can be found in the studio or shooting outdoors and is also an official Red Bull International Photographer.

Photographer Michael Mueller shot the first part for the global campaign #WinDifferent for Superdry.

"Power - coordination - precision.

Focus and precision - every movement fits! Such quick, precise execution of the movement sequences is only possible through years of training. Coordination, strength and flexibility at the highest level!

We shot this global campaign for Superdry around the themes flex and training on location in London. Due to the global crisis surrounding the coronavirus, unfortunately only the first part of the campaign could be photographed."

There was never a professional alternative to photography for Michael. Always drawn to nature, untouched landscapes appeal to him, but also urban life and its details capture his interest. Always on the quest for new and exciting locations, his drive to rediscover and capture situations, moments and emotions on photo, bring him all around the globe. For this no effort is spared, whether in tough weather conditions with extreme temperatures or risky locations – his motivation and commitment is to get the perfect visual moment every time. Michael lives near Munich.

Over 100 covers, over 1000 editorials, ads, and web pages, two best-selling coffee table books, several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos. 

Bodies have always been Mitchel’s primary focus, whether 'In Action', 'At Rest', or 'Intertwined'. And sports bodies have always been one of his favorite subjects. The “Bodies in Action” series takes pro athletes, film and TV stunt people, and spectacular dancers from great companies and pits them against themselves in a style totally his own. A “Bodies in Action” book is on the way.

Other sports images concentrate on the intense competition and the opportunity to capture unique and beautiful moments that one cannot anticipate.

Rich is an award-winning sports photographer specialising in active lifestyles.

Growing up in the BMX scene documenting friends and then pros, Rich uses that experience of working reactively in the fast paced environment of commercial and advertising photography. It’s also become a huge skill when a cool and level head is needed - when you can document someone doing 50mph down a mountain on a bicycle or flipping through the air, then everything else is relatively slow paced.

Previous clients include Shortlist, Soccerbible and Cyclist Magazine, Nike, Puma, Reebok, Alpha Tauri, Chantelle Paris and Gymshark.

Rich’s work is vibrant and flowing. Showing athletes not only at their peak and not only in beautiful light, but also loving what they do.
