My new studio!!
Firstly, let me say that I really feel like I’ve barely done any of this myself. I feel like everyone around me has all chipped in to help me get this set up.
Thank you to:
Storm Creative (designing the signage)
Armidale City Signs (making all the signs - duh)
Dennis Behrend (putting a nice little hole in the wall and putting up shelves)
Adam Simpkins (bringing up the fridge and setting up the sound system
Samuel Paris (helping me move my desk)
Simon James (for being the most amazing photographer in the whole entire world & sharing some of your talent with me)
Martin Schembri from X-Sight (for giving me the idea and vision)
But.. the biggest thank you’s go to my mum Pam, and also my super tremendous girlfriend Lauren. Mum, thank you for believing in me and helping me get my start (e.g. Buying me that camera and computer etc..) and Lauren, thank you for being an ear to hear all the ideas that I’ve had, helping me believe in myself and being a huge driving force behind me moving out to a studio. Lauren, you’re amazing and I will love you forever and ever! Mwah!
Check out this vid of the new studio
Here are some pics.
What’s yet to be done? Projector needs to be installed, including the screen..more big big big images on the walls.. the collage for a window..(this will change every few weeks, so come and check it out often) & I need to shift all my computer gear over there once I have internet access…so I’ll be running between 2 locations for the next few weeks…please stick with me!
Anyhow..There will be a massive party, and everyone’s invited. I’ll keep everyone posted about that.

Nice work James. The attention to detail & creative touch in the new studio really shows as it does with all of your photography.
Well done and Good luck
Congratulations James! So much at such a young age! You are a true inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks everyone for your kind words.. I still feel like a kid in a grown up’s world.. It’s all a bit much really but I’m going to press on regardless!

Hi James,

James,
What can I say mate - this is awesome.
I am sure this will help to build the recognition and acknowledgement you so justly deserve.
I will be there for the opening, no matter what! Hey, we will be drinking right? :o)
Cheers and major kudos,
Antony
Hey Terri,
It will be great to see you again.. and let’s hope dates work out so I can be your wedding photographer! Yours would be a special wedding to photograph..and judging by the dresses that you showed me all that time ago..you’ll look stunning.
Antony- Mate, I don’t really drink that much.. maybe I’ll have a champagne to mark the event.. but in general i’m pretty straight.
+ Lauren thinks It’s silly when I drink occasionally yet I don’t even like the taste of alcohol.. so maybe just water on the rocks for me?
Also, with this new studio.. who can afford alcohol anyway?
