For my birthday last year, I was given a drone. A drone really is the most fun and interesting camera a photographer can have. So after a few months of practicing with the drone, I’ve got some video to show you. Sunrise over Coogee and Bronte Cliffs

Sculpture by the Sea Bondi 2016
Early morning start to catch sculptures by the sea at sunrise before the weekend rush. Make sure you don’t drive down to Bondi this weekend! Grab a bus, walk or ride your bike, it’s going to be busy! This year marks the 20th year of Sculptures by the Sea. All photos © Jordan Shields, please…
Rose Bay Seaplanes
I was down at Rose Bay Seaplanes last week for an upcoming project I’m helping out on. Such a nice spot down there, and the seaplanes are from an era gone by. I think I’ll have to head for a flight over Sydney Harbour some time in one of these classics. Rose Bay Seaplanes, Sydney…
North Bondi Surf
Some of the best waves I’ve seen down at Bondi. We had a BBQ while we watched these guys surf. They stayed out until well after sunset. Living in Sydney makes me want to get a surfboard. Really like the waves in NSW, and it has a real surfer culture that I haven’t seen since…
Mona Vale, Sunrise
Early start to catch the sunrise over the beach. Packed the cameras and a thermos full of tea and hit the road. Met two photographers down there and french bloke who slept nearby in his van thanks to a residents parking permit. Ah the life 🙂
Headbutting Nuns
As a photographer, it’s always fun going to iconic locations that have been photographed millions of times. You have to have a think of how to capture a photograph that is personal to you, and even try to get a unique perspective. There were some great clouds that day over the Sydney Opera house, so…
Perth City Time Lapse
Here’s a short time lapse I shot of Perth City on the 16th of July 2013. The rain was coming in fast, and with the trains not running, there was plenty of traffic to capture. I’ve got a new film I shot from Freo harbour which will be up on Ingerid & Eli shortly. But…
Astro Photography
Whenever it’s holiday time, I always like to take astro photos, especially if I’m in the south-west staying with family. A good friend kindly lent me their Celestron Telescope, so last night I was able to get some incredible photos of the moon, and even managed to capture the rings of Saturn on a night…
Light Painting
Light painting is great fun, and you don’t need professional equipment to do it either. Many point and shoot cameras will allow you to take a 30 second exposure, so all you need is a tripod, and some coloured lights to paint with. You can use torches and put coloured celophane over the ends using…
Broome 2011
Last year I spent some time up in Broome, in Western Australia’s Kimberley with my camera; documenting the protests at James Price Point, the heritage listing of The West Kimberley by Tony Burke at One Arm Point, taking event photos for the Roebuck Bay Hotel, as well as meeting and photographing many musicians and even…
