Capturing Lifestyle Visuals

Best way to start your working morning.

You know it’s going to be a fun weekend when the morning kicks off at 5am and you’re shooting a timelapse sunrise. Was a busy week of planning and preparing for two events, both trail running, here in Sydney. The 10th annual Maximum Adventure Coastal Classic in the Royal National Park and Run Forest Run for Bare Events.

With any job it all comes down to planning, knowing your locations and working with a great team of organizers, photographers and the support of the local government in the form of National Parks Wildlife Services. Even when weather doesn’t play along with your plans with 50km+ winds.

Getting to film a video for Maximum Adventure in the planet’s second oldest national park was an honour, flying a drone for some great coastal views once all the appropriate red tape requirements were met. A big thanks to NPWS for letting me shoot in the park and show off this great trail running event and location.

Thankfully, Sunday’s weather was a little calmer so the families and fun runners could have their turn at Run Forest Run. Shooting stills with the photography team of my event photography business, Outer Image Collective, was a great way to explore some new trails and witness many families enjoying the outdoors in a healthy lifestyle of activity.

Capturing lifestyle visuals never gets boring and always provides a challenge to create new and exciting content. Watch for the full video promoting Sydney’s best trail running event.
