Go BTS of a recent @officialfatboyslim gig with video directors at @mushroomcreative, Brian Purnell and Liam Pethick, as they capture the concert on the Canon EOS C70. 🎥 “One of my favourite things about them is they are so light and once you put it on a gimbal you are so nimble, and you can get through those intimate moments in the crowd that you probably wouldn’t capture with an intrusive rig.” – Brian Click the link in bio to watch the full video! 🔥

Last week we held cinematic masterclasses at SUNSTUDIOS Sydney and Melbourne with Canon Master @_DaveMay to discuss the challenges he faces as an independent documentary filmmaker, but also showcase his skills and go-to tools that he uses everyday in his craft. ⁠ ⁠ As part of this workshop Dave gave a comprehensive overview of how he uses various @canonaustralia Cinema EOS cameras and @aputure.lighting to create different looks and effects with his subjects. The educational evening covered a variety of Aputure lighting systems, to understand which products are right for the job.⁠ ⁠ With both events at capacity it was an informative and engaging evening and we extend our thanks to all who attended!

Cindy Kavanagh @cindykavanagh - 'The Priestess, 2022', another wonderful finalist from the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2023 that we had the privilege of printing at SUNPrint. ⁠ ⁠ The #NPPP23 exhibition is open until the 2nd of October at @portraitau ⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: The Priestess – a celebration of the beauty and resilience of ageing freed from social pre-conceptions of what a woman should look like, of what role she 'should' play. ⁠ Here Floria Tosca's beloved Australian wildflowers are strap-wrapped to her head. They represent the blooming of her life's journey and the growth that comes with each passing year. The straps echo the traditional binding of burdens – as well as holding her to what she loves – the paradox within womanhood. ⁠ This portrait asks us to see Floria as she would like to be seen and celebrates the beauty and empowerment inherent in that. ⁠ ⁠

More of the amazing portrait finalists printed by SUNPrint 🙌⁠ ⁠ The #NPPP23 exhibition is open until the 2nd of October at @portraitau ⁠ ⁠ Image 1: Francis Cloake @franciscloakephotos - 'Shirley, 2022' ⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: I took this photo of Shirley at her daughter's house while she was relaxing in the sun. Shirley is proud of her 89-year-old body. ⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Image 2: Franca Turrin @franca_turrin - 'Téa-anna Parvathy Murrin – Australian Cultural Identity, 2023' ⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: 'Being of Italian and Indian heritage and growing up in Australia, I've always questioned my cultural identity. After all, I'm neither Indian, nor Italian nor your typical Aussie – or am I?' ⁠ This is a portrait study about cultural identity in Australia. What does it mean to be an Australian? It's an evolving perception constantly being moulded by the values of each wave of newcomers. Téa's cultural identity is personified in the image by chosen objects and flora. ⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Image 3: Stuart Miller @stuartmillerphoto - 'Strong Avenue, Graceville, Brisbane, 2022' ⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: The 2022 Eastern Australia floods were one of the nation's worst recorded natural disasters. Intense rainfall quickly broke riverbanks, swamped roads, claimed homes, businesses and lives. ⁠ Ty and Jake paddle down Strong Avenue on a journey to find a friend's passport. That morning they'd rescued another friend's puppies. Graceville was one of the many affected Brisbane suburbs. The damage was widespread. As people started to emerge from shelter, Queenslanders began one of the biggest recovery operations in the state's history. ⁠ In reality, human-caused climate change is warming the atmosphere, oceans and intensifying heavy rainfall events like this. ⁠ ⁠

One museum, over 70 Canon cameras ranging from high-end Cinema to point-and-shoot (and everything in between), and one tireless crew working to bring an incredible skate video to life. Check out what @canonuk and @canonemeapro have been up to with @redbulluk!

Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2023. SUNPrint is proud to have printed a selection of the finalists’ work. ⁠👏⁠ The #NPPP23 exhibition is open until the 2nd of October at @portraitau and this year’s theme features entries that capture ‘the unique nature of their subjects’.⁠ ⁠ Image 1: Adam Ferguson @adamfergusonstudio - 'Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) Employee, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine, May 2022' ⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: Olha Trypolska, duty manager at the Trostianets train station in Sumy Oblast. When Russian troops invaded Trostianets in February 2022, Olha, along with seven people, hid in the basement of the train station, where this portrait was later taken. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, trains have become the backbone of the country: essential to the war effort, crucial to evacuating people, moving weapons, goods and supplies, as well as providing a diplomatic avenue and an economic lifeline. ⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Image 2: Jacob Nash @jakenash82 - 'Gusta, 2022'⁠ ⁠ Artist Statement: This was taken backstage at Bangarra Dance Theatre's performance of Wudjang: Not the Past, in Sydney. I found myself alone with Gusta for a few minutes before he went back on stage. There was so much stillness backstage. It was just the two of us, which is unusual, and he was so relaxed. We didn't really talk, he just let me stand with him and let me photograph him. There is so much silent power in this moment. ⁠
