Storyco. The new name of Stu Harris Photography.

Since establishing Stu Harris Photography in 2008, this business name has become increasingly non-descriptive of the services that have been fulfilled and are offered. Over the past 16 months since leaving Apple, I have been involved in producing motion graphics, corporate videos, documentaries, iPhone apps, software training, websites and of course, photography.

My passion for photography has not wavered, in fact quite the contrary. As I continue to market what I do it is clear where the demand is and as such I need to make it very clear the services that are offered.

In the broad sense the marketing services that I offer are in the following categories: Photography, Video, Web and Apps. More specifically, I prefer to describe myself as a visual story-teller. That could be for commercial businesses, or a family. What type of media is used to communicate the story is not restricted to photography, but it is determined as we discuss the brief and decide upon the most appropriate vehicle for sharing your story.

As I’ve described in my introductory video, Storyco is all about people. We go beyond the corporate veneer to the heart of the business. People. I work with other local talent, web-designers, writers, software developers, voice-over artists, artists, graphic designers and other creatives in virtual teams to scale up or down to meet the smallest or largest of client’s needs.

We’d love to tell your story. Call today, and let’s meet via Skype or in person for a coffee.

Celebrating the Golden Years of Marriage

This afternoon couples assembled at Parliament House, Hobart to celebrate the Golden Years of in honour and support of traditional marriage. Twenty-seven “Golden Couples” – those married for 50 years of more - attended the event hosted by FamilyVoice Australia. Certificates were given to all the couples in recognition of their enduring commitment to one another and their valuable contribution to society.

Together the 27 couples represented 1,447 years of married life, and had produced 415 descendants between them!

Politicians, ministers of faith, the media and members of the public joined together to celebrate this event – a first in Tasmania.

Below is a collection of some of the photographs from the event, together with several Golden Couples portraits that we captured.

The Mercury Newspaper also reported on the event. More can be read here.

Sleep Out for the Salvos 2011

39 of Tasmania’s business leaders, politicians and state dignitaries slept rough last night for the annual Sleep Out for the Salvos event held on the forecourt of the Grand Chancellor Hotel, Hobart. Except for rain at 4 am, it was a mild Tasmanian winter night. “Sleepers” got to experience a little of what it must be like to sleep outdoors, although as State Premier Lara Giddings pointed out to me, “it would be nothing like being homeless. We were at least safe here.”

The Salvation Army succeeded in smashing their 2010 record fundraising efforts by bringing in $119,904.30. These funds have been allocated to fund a new officer that will work directly with homeless people in and around Hobart.

I was asked by the Salvos Major Gifts Director, Mr Peter Atkinson to photograph the event as well as to interview Lara Giddings, Federal Member for Franklin Jacquie Pertrusma and other CEO’s, and other business leaders that attended this event. Here are just a few photographs from the event last night.
