Workflow and digital asset management is absolutely core in the day to day life of us pro photo/video folks. I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d love to make a little video to show the method to my workflow madness, basically everything that happens in between the time that the shutter clicks and the time that the client is holding the pixels in their hot little hands. Seattle-based photographer/social media guru Chase Jarvis has beaten me to the punch, so check out this clip he put together for his own blog. As Chase mentions at the end of the clip, the whole system is scalable & my workflow is damn near identical to his but on a smaller scale. If you wanna get more clued up on this stuff, make sure you pick yourself up a copy of Peter Krogh’s DAM book. I’ll post something about my own specific workflow at some point when I have a bit more time to breathe. That’s all for now folks, it’s back to the madness for me!!

Lincoln Hall has a kind crazy story.. he died back in 2006 on Mt Everest, but I did a portrait shoot with him last week. That kind of thing happens if you climb big mountains for long enough I guess. I’ve been wanting to shoot with Lincoln for a long time but our respective schedules have been so busy we never seem to be in the same country at the same time. We finally caught up at his family home in the Blue Mountains and all my shot ideas went right out the window due to winds that were literally blowing me (all 90-odd kg of me) off my feet. We managed to find a couple sheltered spots & got a couple speedlights to not blow over, so check out more about Lincoln here and check out some of the shots below.

Just a couple shots from a test-shoot I did last week with Orange-based model Kerry Fragar. Cheers to Kerry & to MUA/stylist Amy Denyer for doing their thing.

For the last couple of years this blog has served only as a ‘guess what I did today’ platform. I’ve recently been reviewing the way that I conduct myself professionally to better showcase what I feel personally, and I’d like to hereby announce my blog v2.0: a scrapbook of a whole bunch of stuff that inspires me from day to day, the stuff that compells me to go pick up my camera in the first place. Enjoy.

In recent months I’ve been very hard at work behind the scenes of a brand new Australian/NZ climbing feature film.
The project is a collaboration between myself and videographer Peter Crane (Bon Productions), it’s due for DVD release early in 2011 and we think it’s something worth getting very, very excited about!
If you’re interested in being involved as an athlete, contributor, advertiser/sponsor, or in any other capacity, feel free to drop me a line at photos@joshcaple.com.
More details & a trailer are on their way, in the mean time check out some of the stills I’ve been snapping along the way…

He’s definitely got ‘em. Check Lucky… again, this morning at The Overhang.
I’m about to make this kid his own website so he can stop taking up all my bandwidth!

So my bud Lucky Chance has been getting some blog space lately, and for a good reason. He is nuts & I like to photograph people who are nuts.
The latest invention is the ‘Death Swing’ where Lucky has taken the established Hanging Rock rope swing & mixed it up a bit… with the subtraction of the standard tying into the rope & the addition of a BASE rig. He just hangs onto the loops of a bunny-ears knot & voila!
I got the call to come photograph this insanity just hours before it went down & I only had a scouting camera handy (with a single 17-35mm lens, the rest of the kit was in the studio in the opposite direction!) but good photos or not, I absolutely couldn’t miss seeing this for myself.
Hang tight for more/better photos & footage of Lucky stepping it up even more.

So Nikon & co have had a competition running for the last little while… the idea is, you create a 140 second video clips showcasing a day in your life & they give you $100,000 cold hard cash.
That’s how it panned out for the competition winner Marko Slavic. Check out his creation here; http://www.nikonfestival.com/winners/

One of my goals this year is to spend more of my ‘personal’ time meeting & sharing with other photographers in the community… enter stage right, Trampoline.
Trampoline was formed in 2003 by the Association of Australian Commercial & Media Photographers is a monthly meeting of photographers/assistants/aspiring photographers in both Melbourne & Sydney. The meetings aim to educate & inspire emerging photographers & I had a great ‘ol time last night at the first meeting of the year. The nice folks at Sun Studios opened up their space & their gear room for everyone to have a play with & an assortment of breakdancers/firetwirlers/acrobats/etc (I was stoked & a bit unsurprised to bump into my friend Lucky Chance!) were invited along to do their thing in front of the (many) lenses.
Check out a couple shots of the crew having fun & if you’re in town be sure to hit up their next meeting!
