Not only that, but we also received truckloads of awesome feedback as our images were critiqued, whilst coming excruciatingly close to winning the Silver with only 2 measly points behind (@&$#!!*$&!)…. 

Overall the experience of entering and winning in this prestigious award as an Accredited AIPP member is pretty cool…

For now all we can say is that we are very excited for our next season of beautiful brides, and can’t wait to see who will be entered in the 2010 Canon APPA Awards.

Thanks everyone for your support and well wishes..

Fivo Sings with Jerry Ghionis, Rocco Ancora & Ryan Schembri Karaoke till 2am!

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

What a way to let loose after a jam packed day of post production/Photoshop and marketing….

 

The night started off at a little Spanish Restaurant in Surry Hills, and after a few bottles of red, we ended up at the local Karaoke Bar down the road.

 

Although the little compact camera flash drowned out the ambiance in these pictures… The Karaoke bar was dark, dingy and accompanied by drunken photographers trying to get their hands on the microphone.

 

In all seriousness, I have to say that it was quite a surreal feeling to be hanging out with very respected and world famous wedding photographers. What an honour huh!!

A New Day with Jerry Ghionis

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Today was an early start as Fivo arrived for day two of the Jerry workshop. The day began with Jerry demonstrating trademark techniques such as lighting, posing and creating masterpieces with the help of some good looking models including Ryan Schembri and friends.

Next it was Fivo’s turn to practice these techniques and create his own masterpieces, which he did with amazing results. It is incredible how the least obvious location can be turned into a stunning piece of art. Tomorrow Jerry will critique these images taken from today and provide feedback. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s updates.

Jacinda Attends Tero and Julie Sade Seminar

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Jacinda went along to the ‘Portraits for Passion, Profit and Lifestyle’ Seminar to hear Tero speak about the 25 years experience he has running a successful Portrait Studio.

Jacinda was touched by Tero’s honest and down to earth nature as he reflected on his personal journey of the good times and the bad and how with pure determination Tero worked hard and fought back to become the photographer he is today.

Jacinda was filled with inspiration and great ideas to put into practice for FIVO Photography.

Fivo Wows the Australian Masters of Photography with our Images at the AIPP Critique night!

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Tonight Fivo had the privilege of meeting some of the AIPP Masters of Photography, who judge for the APPA (Australian Professional Photography Awards) which is sponsored by Canon.

 

Tonight was an awesome night because we put up some of our favourite wedding images to be critiqued prior to entering them into the 2009 APPA later in June….

 

“WOW, I was so over the moon to hear the outstanding compliments after my images were painfully critiqued.” “I say it was painful, because others before me were receiving quite heartbreaking comments and whilst waiting to be critiqued, I was rather nervous”.

 

To cut a long story short, I was basically advised that I should enter and will have a hot chance of winning the silver ribbon in  the upcoming 2009 Canon Australian Professional Photographer of The Year Awards. We will also be entering the 2009 Epson AIPP NSW Professional Photography Awards.

 

Both of these award nights are black tie events with the major heads of Canon, Epson and of course the Australian Institute of Professional Photography…

 

So it will be absolutely awesome to win, and we are happy to advise, we are in extremely good shape!!

Fivo Receives Full AIPP Accreditation!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Hi Everyone,

I’m happy to announce that I have just been awarded with full accreditation with the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography). This is pretty exciting news for FIVO Photography as it now means that I am nationally recognised as a professional photographer.

For over 30 years, the AIPP has represented all areas of professional photography, encouraging professional excellence and ethical conduct. The AIPP strives to promote and maintain the highest standards of professional competence and business ethics in the industry. By maintaining rigorous entry criteria and a binding Code of Ethics for members, as well as providing ongoing education via seminars, workshops and events, the AIPP is a brand of trust in the photographic industry.

It is not easy becoming an accredited AIPP photographer, but with our current high business standards and quality of work, it is certainly well deserved.

Signing out for now…
