GROWN: Behind the Lens part 3

In 'behind the lens' part 2 we offered a rare perspective of Photographer Matt Shepherd (aquaseen.com) taking some underwater product shots.   This time we are showing some snaps from a shoot at the beach in laid-back Byron Bay where we were working with Skatergirl Hailey and our World-traveller friend Jordan.   It went a little something like this:

"click" ...... "click" 

"uh... you wanna go for a swim? "   

"Ok!"

... and back to it...

repeat

add a surf

repeat.

Not surprisingly, but after a VERY laid back day we got some great shots!  See the final edited snaps on the GROWN website.

Skating is Part of Hailey's daily routine, luckily we caught her right out of the surf!  She took some great pics!

The Musical Ninja; Blake Noble

Percussive 12-string guitarist and didgeridoo player, Blake Noble is a force to be reckoned with.  Impressive is an understatement for this predominantly instrumental guitarist from Byron Bay, who plays his guitar more like a drum kit while simultaneously hitting funky bass lines and stunning melodies and harmonics.

Blake's stunning songwriting skills, blended with his amazing NATURAL talent for guitar (he has never had a single lesson!), have already taken him far; and people are taking notice!
Blake is about to embark on a life and soul changing move to America where he is lining up a tour schedule and looking to hit the ground running.    The Good news for us is he has promised to keep us posted with Blog/Vlog updates from the good ol' U.S of A.


In the meantime, check out some of his vids below and hit up his site at blakenoblemusic.com

 

Above:  'Ninja'
The video below is for a song called 'Bundjalung' and is the first 'lap tapping' song Blake wrote and was inspired by the guitarist 'Erik Mongrain', and the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people of Byron Bay and surrounds. The Bundjalung nation are the traditional owners of Byron Bay, the most Easterly point of Australia. The song also hit #10 on the Triple J unearthed roots chart and stayed in the top 25 for four weeks!

GROWN: Behind the Lens part 1 (Aquaseen)
