I could't let a great opportunity pass to get mother and daughter photos with my wife Paule and daughter Giulia and a spectacular backdrop of Cockatoo Island Sydney Biennale 2016.

Last Sunday we set out to enjoy a day out doing what we love to do as a family. Keeping the theme of mother and daughter live, this seemed like a perfect occasion for some more images for Storybook Photography. The shoot started from our front door to the closest station in Newtown where we caught a bus to the city as the train lines were being repaired.

The weather seemed a little overcast and dreaded the idea of rain interrupting the session but by midday the sun was out in full making exploring the Sydney Biennale an absolute delight.

We have been to quiet a number of Biennales and found this one particularly good. Each piece of art was beautifully presented within it's space. Cockatoo Island is a bit of a photographer's paradise anyway so with art added into the mix, inspiration just flowed through the lens the whole time there.

Telling the whole story of the day allows so much more creativity and connections to be shown. A greater freedom to be shoot in an editorialised and true fashion. The concept of the shoots are ultimately create a storybook from each shoot that is captured. There are always a few more classic images that propose to be portrait in style, however the overall style is done in an editorial and creative spirit.
