Cog Creative Space

We had the creatives from Detail Marketing Communications in Perth over for this shoot by local photographer Jack Wenby. It was for the Fremantle International Street Arts Festival, and was included as a feature story in the Sunday Times Magazine. Jack worked with Osadía, a street theatre company from Barcelona that performs ‘live hair art’ - they were in Adelaide for WOMADelaide. Jack shot in our Pro Studio and used a couple of our coloured paper backgrounds for these incredible images. Here are some BTS shots from our in-house photographer Sam Oster.

Step inside a real fashion and beauty shoot with internationally published photographer Weronika Mamot, presented in collaboration with Profoto and Diamonds Camera.

Hosted at COG Creative Space, this in‑studio tutorial offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at how Weronika creates polished, editorial fashion imagery using the Profoto D‑series lighting system. You’ll see her complete lighting workflow in action — from clean, minimal setups to more sculpted, directional looks — with a strong focus on precision, control, and creating images that feel modern, refined, and commercially relevant.

Weronika will demonstrate multiple lighting setups live, breaking down how she shapes light, builds depth, and creates atmosphere without distraction. The session will also include subtle use of atmospheric tools such as SmokeNinja, showing how effects can elevate an image when used with restraint and intention.

With a professional model and makeup artist on set, attendees will experience a true working studio environment and gain insight into professional pacing, communication, and creative decision‑making.

This is an educational, industry‑focused session designed for photographers who want to strengthen their lighting knowledge, refine their studio workflow, and better understand how high‑end fashion imagery is created.

Showing some BTS and the resulting shots from shooting Aylin in the Pro Studio. Aylin is a Flamenco dancer from Spain who is in Adelaide for the , and she needed some standard portraits and headshots for her agent. Our studio is perfectly located in walking distance from the Fringe which is super convenient for visiting performers! Sam used the background lights mounted on the ceiling track to control the tone of the background independent of the lighting on Aylin, in order to get both light-toned and darker backgrounds from the same setup. First-up we are showing the mid-shot setup using 6 lights (4 on the subject and 2 ceiling-mounted background lights). Next is the full length setup also with 6 lights (4 on the subject and 2 ceiling-mounted background lights). Please note that Sam is a maximalist and loves total control over each element of her lighting! Total overkill as far as the other in-house photographers at Cog are concerned...LOL. Check out our previous post for the BTS video and timelapse.

This week's colours wooohoo! Fresh colours for the week, modelled by the extra special Marie Dimopoulos from RMT Management ! It's been a while since we worked with Marie due to her busy schedule but finally the stars aligned and we got her back in to the studio! Our colours are Almond, Flamingo Pink and Deep Green - a versatile range for you to explore! We had a chance to play with the Smoke Ninja Pro Hazer Kit thanks to our friends at CR Kennedy (just down the road form the studio) - we can't wait to show off more of what this little ninja can do! It's such a perfect tool for creativity in the studio and we love it sooo much - keep an eye out for some videos coming soon! These were shot with the studio's continuous lighting gear.
