Joshua Maguire

Known for his highly edited and highly hilarious photographs, Brisbane photographer Joshua Maguire has really changed the way Ninety Two views the photographic scene in Brisbane. Maguires photos consist heavily of narrative and humour, which we found quite intriguing and a style we haven't really seen before locally.

You may recognise him snapping away at the recent FROCK It fashion event and you've probably seen his work from various places. We had a chat to Joshua about his photographs and his inspiring style...

Describe your photographic style
I tend to prefer looking at well lit, clean, really vibrant images, and so I always end up editing my own shots that way. In saying that, I don't really think a commercial photographer these days can just stick to one "style" or way of photographing things. Versatility is probably the best thing you can have if you want to get anywhere in this business.

How hardcore do you edit your photographs?
Well, with this series of character portraits,I think I'd probably spend about 3 hours shooting each one, and then another 20 hours photo-shoping it. Editing is a huge part of my work. 

What does photography mean to you?
(Laughs) What does it mean to me? Well, I've just finished my bachelor of photography so I intend it to be my career. So yeah, hopefully it's going to be a huge part of my life. Fingers crossed.

Who or what inspires you the most?
No single thing or person "inspires" me, really. I get idea's from all over the place, usually at times when I'm not trying to think about photography at all. For the character portraits a lot of idea's for content came from TV shows or movies, or just seeing something in real life that i thought would look cool in a photograph. For aesthetic, most of the influence I get is from advertising photography; photographers like Jim Fiscus, David Krovblit, Gary Salter.

How long have you been snapping photographs for?
I didn't really get into photography until around about grade 12.
Just mucking around with my parent's camera and once I finished high school, and didn't really have any other ideas as to what I would do at uni, so I chose photography. To me at the time, it seemed like the easiest way to be creative, even though I couldn't (still can't) draw or paint (laughs).

Tell us about anything exciting coming up that you’re involved in.
Yeah I've got a few things I wanna do, one of them is pretty exciting. All I can really say is there's a helicopter involved...

So who knows what's happening next in Joshua Maguire's live,
but we're sure to see a few more interesting photographs coming up... stay tuned!
If you'd like to view some of Joshua's work head to his online portfolio.

Sheree Oliver

Sheree describes herself as being 'a photographer with a sharp eye for fashion and fine art photography' and from what we've seen of her fine art and high fashion photography she has the sharpest eye out! Almost certainly, her work consists highly of colour and this use of colour enhances her versitality as a photographer (which we don't see alot of lately). PLEASE take a look at her photographs at shereeoliverphotography.com

Photographs by Chrissy Conlon

Long time photography lover, Chrissy Conlon's work seems to jump right out of the camera. Her portraits are magnificent and capture the essence of beauty.

"I'm Chrissy Conlon and have been pretty much in love with photography since I was about seven. This is the most recent shoot I've done, with the beautiful Madeleine Russell. I headed to boondul wetlands and shorncliffe and photographed her wearing really feminine and somewhat vintage clothes. I used a Canon EOS 400D with a 18 to 200mm lens, with natural light and edited using Adobe Lightroom, lowering the saturation and clarity to give the photos a really soft effect."

To see more of her fantastic photographs visit her facebook page or search Christine-Conlon Photography
