Look what the cat dragged in

I’m Tay, your friendly neighbourhood photographer and cat enthusiast – welcome to my cosy corner of the internet.

Hi, I’m Tay!

I’m a photographer and artist residing in Melbourne, Australia.

Weddings and cosplay are my main areas of work, but I also do portraits and commercial shoots.

Let’s chat, I know you want to.

A few more from this magical shoot with @amylouisemm as Keyleth 🖤

Can someone please tell me how it's nearly the end of the year already? It's a bit rude if you ask me.

The character, Keyleth, is a creation of @marisha_ray from @critical_role
Cosplay made and worn by the incredible @amylouisemm ✨️

Ever catch yourself working away with a goofy, borderline creepy smile? Yeah, me neither 😶

Editing weddings like Vic and Sam's always gets me - when there's just so much excitement and love in the air. Their day was all about celebrating with people who were just beyond stoked to be there (me included!)🖤

Finally sorting though all the beautiful weddings I've shot this year so I can get my silly little website back up 🥲 it's crashed twice this year so I overhauled it and it's just been an empty void on the internet ever since 😂

I've been enjoying experimenting with sets lately and I'd love to do more, so I thought I'd start sharing some BTS to show you how I achieved certain looks!
Not pictured is my key light - this was a speed light with a beauty dish diffuser 😊
These were shot with the Nikon Z6ii + Nikkor 105mm 1.4 #NikonCreators

On my way to do some wedding videography today and I'm hoping the rain will ease. Not that I don't love the rain, I just would prefer a dry camera 😅

Re-visiting this set with some new SFX overlays! I can't believe this shoot was a year ago now - not only have I had the privilege of working with Krissi on multiple occasions since, I've also met and photographed a whole bunch of inspiring people 🥹
Thank you Krissi, for giving me a chance when I felt like I wasn't cut out for creative shoots any more, you inspire me constantly. And of course to Jac, who was a magnificent assistant on this day and it led to so many amazing shoots of our own.
I'm so excited to be back doing creative portraiture and I can't wait to see what the next year has in store 🥰

As promised, here is the lil video @krissi.q and I created on our Black Cat shoot earlier this year!
Careful, this one will steal your pearls but she will also steal your heart 🥹🖤

Thanks so much to Kris and @jacintajade13 for their efforts in creating these videos - we had no plan and these two fully embraced their characters to create some delightful footage 🥹
I hope you all love it. Next up I want to give some vertical video a go, as well as having a crack at some SFX editing 👀

"You Made A Scene, Didn't You?" - Earlier this yea

"You Made A Scene, Didn't You?"
-
Earlier this year on a shoot with @jacintajade13 and @krissi.q, I did a bit of relatively unplanned video. I've been shooting video for quite a few years now, but mainly weddings, so it was great to try something a bit different. Thanks so much to these two for fully embracing it, concocting scenes together and mostly making it a lot of fun!

I meant to share them months ago but kept forgetting/over thinking 🥲 But here's the first from that day, and I'll be sharing the video I made with @krissi.q next Thursday 👀
