Cool photo shoot locations
ClockworkMonkey - February 14th, 2013 at 12:51 PM

Anyone out there know of some cool backdrops in the Brisbane area?? Ideally I'd like some place with some decent street art (graffiti). Maybe old warehouses or something with shipping containers? I don't really want to go to the trouble of getting permissions and stuff so public spaces where you can park your car is what I'm after. I'm planning on taking a few nice photos of my car to keep / put on a mate's website. The gold cost could be an option but Brisbane is preferred

Cheers,
Farhan

A good friend of mine owns Rehad Records, located in fortitude valley, hes just relocated to an alley just off of Wickham Terrace, would be suitable for your application.

Pm me if you are interested and I can probably organise something.

There is also Tarragindi Water Resivour... Dunno if you can drive up to it anymore but it used to be covered in graff.

Other than that I cant think off the top of my head where may be car accesable.

Best of luck with your search.

There is also an abandon shed at -27.619118,152.745639

Its pretty trashed but you can drive inside, would be a cool spot to do a shoot.

Allbones i put those coordinates into google maps and it dropped me in the middle of the ocean near japan hahahahaha ...... that might be a bit difficult to get to :)

Haa
I also put those coordinates into google map and ended up at the same place.
Funny stuff,when looking at that position on the map just up at about a 2 oclock angle it looks like a pair of tits and a face:lol:

I just copied and pasted those co-ordinates into google (not google maps/earth), and it worked. :tu:


ClockworkMonkey - February 15th, 2013 at 09:57 PM

Try jugglers in fortitude valley. Look for the Graf on the roof and walls to the lane way entrance. It's an art gallery with a huge area that still might be good for a backdrop. This place is where my mate painted all over my beetle back in the day. Google jugglers art space or gallery. I used to be associated with them but don't live in town anymore. Just thought I might add a place in Brisbane for ya!

Thanks trendy. i'll check that out too :)

Rail yards at Hamilton. Just up from cruise boat terminal. Used to be a heap of old train carriages/ tankers etc covered in graffiti. Did a few shoots there about 5-6 years ago. Very kool backdrop. Just be careful climbing I the carriages as I slipped and split my shin open to the bone and got 6 stitches for my trouble.

As far as im aware its illegal, may get a slap on the wrist for trespassing, just dont have anything illegal on you, haha, definately not paint!

You can also try Moorooka yards, the gates are usually unlocked/open and there is always rock carts in there.
