I collaborated with “Maker” Adam Head to create an artwork for Seven With Another. The exhibition brings together 14 artists, who are paired up into 7 unlikely teams to produce an artwork around a theme. Our theme was the number 6, hence the six sided cube.

The video and some images from the exhibition and building process can be found here.

Michael is my former business coach and founder of Edgeware Entrepreneurship, an education and support system for ethical entrepreneurs. Through Edgeware, I’ve met the most inspiring of friends and through his coaching, have learned some invaluable lessons which I apply to both business and every day life. I wanted to tell a story of Michael’s humility and wisdom through these photographs.

Neil Berrett

Digging through some of my archives, in search of photos I may have forgotten about. This one of Neil, from a road trip after Phoot Camp 2011, was one of my favourites.

I had the honour of photographing Dicko recently, in creating a set of imagery to be used for Watercooler Talent and Media, a company which he co-founded. Although Dicko is probably most well know as the “bastard judge” on Australian Idol, I could not have worked with a more friendly and easy going person. To top it off he later told me I shot some of the best portraits he’s ever had. This is one of my favourite photographs from the day.

Meet Mollie Katzen, the author of internationally acclaimed vegetarian cook book, “The Enchanted Broccoli Forrest”. Her signature dish is the Spicy Tofu Nut Ball, which won her many awards at the annual Norwich community cook off. Unfortunately, before she could claim her 5th consecutive year of victory, a judge choked on one of the nut balls and sadly passed away at the judging table. She left town and lives a quiet life, teaching home economics at Baconsthorpe secondary school in Norfolk.

This is Paul, a friend and photographer based out of Chicago. He’s a photographer that never fails to inspire me with his knack for creating stunning photographs with a certain beautiful simplicity that will have you kicking yourself, wondering why you never thought of it first. I photographed Paul as a part of my photographic series called, “In Their Shoes”, which looks at these honest moments of distraction that get captured before, during and after the “main” photographs have been taken.

Btw, I’ve just re-launched my site, let me know what you think! marklobo.com

Jungfraujoch, Switzerland - 2006

Clouds roll through, over the peaks of Jungfraujoch.

I still have a backlog of travel shots I want to go through, going back to 2006! One thing I’m hoping to do in the new year is to hit the travel archives (and create new ones, of course)!

It’s been such an incredible year, with fun new projects, exhibitions, new friends, travel and amazing new clients. I’ve put together a wrap up of my Top 12 from 2012. And of course, I had to post it on 12.12.12 at 12:12. This was one of my picks.

I helped Matt Tucker document his beautiful tattoos by renowned Japanese tattoo artist, Horiyasu. The final product was an incredible large framed print on metallic paper. It was truly rewarding to work on this passion project with Matt and produce something that he truly loved. Matt spent 3 months in Japan to get this work done.

Tonight, I’m finally revealing what I’ve been working on as a collaboration with “Maker” Adam Head. The piece will be exhibited as a part of an exhibition called Seven With Another, where two creatives with different backgrounds, work together to create something with a theme in mind. This edition’s theme was “6”, and I’m super proud of what we have come up with.

It’s an interactive piece which encourages the audience to be creators themselves! If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to check it out, along with the work of 6 other talented teams. The opening night party is tonight, 6th December, at Brisbane Powerhouse from 7pm, and will be showing for a week. (Bring a camera with a flash)

Here’s a sneak preview of the piece being built. I can’t wait to shoot some video of the final piece in action! Hope to see you there!

Daniel Seung Lee

I photographed Daniel in one of the colourful rooms of our New York Airbnb place earlier in the year. I photographed him as a part of my series, “In Their Shoes”. What I love most about this shot is the impressive way he makes loops with his thumb. It reminds me of how my sister and I used to play “cat’s cradle” or “Ayatori”, growing up in Japan.

Loving the new shirts!

phootcamp:

Phoot store expands!

You asked for it, here it is. You can now buy t-shirts, silk screen and digital prints, and postcards in the Phoot Camp store!

In addition to the several new items we just posted, we’ve hugely discounted the photo prints (images produced by each one of our 2012 campers during the four day camp this year) from $100 down to $50. These are rare editions of only 10 prints, so grab them quick! Some have already sold out.
