Pets Win Prizes.

Sometimes when you go away to small country towns for the weekend you can struggle to find fun things to do. Not so Dungog in NSW and in particular the tiny town of Wallarobba who put on an awesome Oktoberfest afternoon.

Not only were there the fabulous local beers, Oompah band and awesome german sausages but they also had a somewhat bizarre but utterly cute Daschund Dash race.I turned up as a visitor and ended up volunteering to photograph the festivities.

It was so much fun, and getting paid in beer made it all worthwhile. Many thanks to all the organisers at Wallarobba Hall for putting on such a great day

I'd also like to introduce you to the newest member of the team here at Tony Newby Photography. Her name is Macie and she is a 12 week old Bichoodle (Bichon Frise x Poodle)... and she's awesome.

Dogs and photography are both huge passions of mine and nothing gives me more pleasure than when I can combine the two. 

If you have a furry family member that you would like photographed please get in touch, I'd love to chat to you about how I can help you capture those cherished memories.

As well as the Sausage Dog race there was a best dressed competition and an obstacle course that was a challenge for both dogs and handlers alike.

Tea Time

Although wedding photography is not one of the core services that I offer, I was recently invited to photograph a Vietnamese tea ceremony prior to the wedding of Vanessa and Ashley. A wonderful and colourful experience. It was very hard work with so much action going on, and trying to capture everything without getting in the way was an exciting challenge. I managed to get some great images of the day and it further deepened my respect for all those wedding photographers  out there.

Shooting a book launch

I was delighted to be hired as photographer for the book 'The World We See' recently. A collection of lessons from some of Australia's foremost leaders. It was a fascinating evening with some great presenters.. and some very challenging lighting conditions for photography. The results were well received however, here are a few examples;
