Who we are
Lance Fearne:
As a people person I love to hear stories from all walks of life, this gives me a basis of how to capture images that best reflect the emotion and feeling of the subject.I have been shooting images since 1968 when I shot large family weddings for a studio in Coburg Melbourne.I typically carried 100 rolls of 120 film and used all, (1200 shots for a $1.00 per roll) I have shot sports, animals(both exotic and domestic), more recently events like the Australian Dragon boat Championships (3,000 participants) supplying team (2,500) photo prints within the four days of the event as well as 20,000 images online.The Ulysses club AGM (5,000) in Canberra. The "Good Old Days" weekend at Barellan where I shoot print and frame 42" x 18" panoramic images onsite.Other recent events include The man from Snowy River Festival at Corryong Victoria, The NSW Polocrosse Championships (9,000 Images online) The Arafura games in Darwin, The Blues Festival at Narooma NSW, For seven years I shot memorabilia for the world Super bikes for Troy Corser (two times world champion), I shoot local football (all codes)Events such as the Queanbeyan Gift (richest pro foot race for women in Australia), Multicultural festivals, Aerial photography from helicopters and other light aircraft for Government Departments and Holiday resorts, Birthdays Parties (2-90), Thoroughbred and Harness racing (night racing), Greyhound racing (day and night).I setup mobile onsite studios in most outdoor and indoor locations for printing posters onsite at events.I use the latest technology to distribute images such as mms at weddings and other events.I have shot Political rallies, Rodeo, Heavy horses, Aircraft, I am carrying on a long tradition of photography from my great uncle (William Fearne) who was a travelling photographer in the 1864-1892 era and had studios at Wagga Wagga and Residences at Jerilderie, Wagga Wagga, Gundagai, Yass, Boorowa, Tumut. I most recently have been photographing wild and domestic horses in the Snowy Mountains. I could go on listing events but this is to give you a snap shot of me and my experience So in summary you might say I have a board experience and a passion for making images.
Matthew Fearne:
I have followed and learnt a lot from my father regarding photography, as we have travelled across this country I have always been fascinated with the people and animals I have come across and have always enjoyed working with my father in capturing these moments digitally for all to see.I grew up on the south coast of NSW and have had a very diverse range of life experiences and have had the opportunity to be involved with a wide range of people and animals giving me unique insight into the way we as human beings perceive our surroundings and have put that knowledge into my photography. I love animals and being part of an animal's journey through this world has been a privilege I have been lucky enough to have several times . I believe all animals have widely ranging personalities that need to be captured to remind us all how much love and understanding can come from a creature that cant verbally communicate with us but can show us life in a completely different light. I have worked with my father on many projects including the Australian Dragon boat Championships, the man from snowy river festival at Corryong Victoria, the Queanbeyan Gift, the Ulysses club AGM and many more. I have the opportunity now to produces lasting memories for animal loving families and I am very existed to see where we go from here.
