In the world of photography, there are moments that stand out as truly unforgettable experiences. One such moment for our photography business was a heart-pounding adventure in the skies in a doors-off helicopter photoshoot over Brisbane City at dusk. Today, we take you on an exhilarating journey behind the lens to share the unique challenges and rewards of capturing breathtaking images from high above the ground.
The Thrill of Flying Doors-Off There's something magical about soaring high above the world with the wind rushing through your hair and no barriers between you and the stunning landscapes below. For this doors-off helicopter photoshoot, we teamed up with experienced pilots from V2 Helicopters who specialize in providing a safe and exhilarating flying experience for aerial photography. Strapping in securely, we were ready to embark on a photographic adventure like no other.
Preparing for the Perfect Shot Before taking off, meticulous planning was crucial. We scouted potential shooting locations, taking into account the time of day, weather conditions, and the unique perspectives each spot offered. We also ensured our camera gear was securely fastened, as shooting from a helicopter adds an extra layer of complexity to the process.
Unparalleled Views and Perspectives Despite the challenges, the views were nothing short of awe-inspiring. From towering city skylines to pristine natural wonders, the vantage point from the helicopter allowed us to capture scenes from angles impossible to achieve on the ground. Our lenses framed iconic landmarks and hidden gems alike, revealing the world in an entirely new light.
There are few landmarks in Brisbane more iconic than the Story Bridge. For me, as a Brisbane-based fine art photographer, capturing its beauty is an ongoing pursuit.
One of my favourite shots of the Story Bridge was taken on its 80th birthday, at sunset, when the sky was a riot of colour. The Story Bridge stood proud, its intricate design bathed in a warm, golden glow. It was a truly magical moment, and I knew I had to capture it.
As a Brisbane artist, I specialise in creating wall art that showcases the character and beauty of our city. This Story Bridge photo is one of my favourites, and it's available as a canvas print or poster that will bring a touch of Brisbane magic to your home or office.
But it's not just about the Story Bridge. Brisbane is a city full of surprises, and my prints and wall art capture its essence in a range of settings. From the tranquillity of South Bank to the urban buzz of Fortitude Valley, my work reflects the diversity and character of Brisbane.
So, if you're looking for prints of Brisbane that truly capture the spirit of our city, be sure to check out my collection and those of my fellow Brisbane artists. We are passionate about showcasing the best of Brisbane through our art, and we're proud to be part of a thriving artistic community in this great city.
Whether you're a Brisbane local or a visitor who fell in love with our city, my wall art and prints will help you bring a piece of Brisbane into your home. So why not start your collection today and discover the beauty of Brisbane through my lens?
Have you ever heard of the Tangalooma Shipwrecks? They're a hidden treasure located off the coast of Brisbane, Australia, and they make for some truly stunning photography subjects. Luckily for you, I went off on an adventure to capture the beauty of these shipwrecks from a unique perspective, offering Tangalooma Shipwrecks prints that are sure to make your walls come to life.
Located on Tangalooma Island, the shipwrecks were intentionally sunk in the 1960s to create a breakwall for boats. Today, they are a popular destination for snorkeling, diving, and of course, photography. Aerial photography of the shipwrecks offers a new perspective on this stunning location, allowing you to appreciate the patterns, textures, and colors of the rusted hulls from above.
But how did I capture these stunning images? I chartered a helicopter with the doors off, of course! This allowed me to capture the shipwrecks from a unique vantage point, creating images that are truly one-of-a-kind. By flying in a helicopter with the doors off, it allowed me to take advantage of the open space and get shots that are impossible to achieve from the ground. This also gave me a higher angle compared to the typical drone shots you might see.
Each of the Tangalooma Shipwrecks prints offered by in this new collection is a high-quality fine art print that will bring the beauty of this unique location into your home. Available in a range of sizes, these prints are perfect for adding a touch of coastal charm to any room in your house.

Timing a doors off helicopter shoot with perfect weather can often be challenging. On the Gold Coast however, it's a little bit easier compared to some places in the world. Generally speaking we have great weather all year round but from my surfing background I'm often looking at the water conditions, the clouds an direciton of the sun.
This brand new aerial collection has been on the list of to do's for a while now.
All images have been captured whilst flying in a helicopter over the beautiful Gold Coast.
If you have ever visited Brisbane or perhaps lived in Brisbane you would've noticed this iconic landmark which looks over the Brisbane River towards the Brisbane CBD. It's a popular spot and subject to photograph for landscape photographers for obvious reasons.
Slowing down your shutter speed to capture the blured motion of the wheel is a fun and exciting way to capture the wheel. I took it a step further and photographed Fireworks exploding behind it with a long focal length during RiverFire.
The idea and concept came during the moment. I saw the fireworks exploding and I wasn't close enough to the river to get a clear shot of the fireworks with the city in the background. So, I took out my long 100-400mm lens and started to capture a unique perspective, an abstract photograph the reminded me of a sci-fi film, planets in the solar system and even decided to capture what I beleive would mimic the rings of Saturn with asteroids exploding near by.
Often taking a step back to look at the bigger picture can bring a new and unique look to an often overly photographed location. I hope this strange, weird and wacky interpretation of the Brisbane Wheel brings your mind to a new place, a place of wonder and imagination where there are no bounds except your own creativity.

This week we go into a deep dive on what I beleive are my top 5 Australian landscape prints.
The criteria is simple, it needs to be a quintessential image that depicts or or more of the following:
So, with this in mind I'm off an away to find photos in my collection that really tell the story of life in Australia. These of course are not documentary photos, they're tailored around fine art photography, landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes.
Observertory Hill, showcasing the beautiful Syndey Harbour Bridge. A historical landmark and it truly is beautiful. This had to be included in the top 5 Australian Prints, simply because it's such a huge part of life in Sydney.
From Shark Bay Western Australia. I absolutely love this abstract aerial print. A birds eye view, looking down at dessert in the far west. The blue water meets such beautiful reds. It's an incredible place to visit, with widlife abundant everywhere you look. Turtles, sharks, dolphins, emus and echidnas just to name a few. David Attenborough filmed some episodes of Blue Plent here.
Binnalong Bay Tasmania. I personally don't think you can get much more Australian than this. The beauitful gum trees lining the Tasman Sea, the stunning white sands and beautiful colour palette which treats itself to a coastal home. I love this shot and this place in Tasmania. Will certainly head back there one day soon.
This was a close contender for the number one Australian Print!! Living by the beach, we have a huge culture of surf, sunbaking, swimming and using our beautifu beaches to their fullest potential. Personally I'm drawn to the ocean like many of you. When the wind is up and you haven't secured your beach umbrella, this is bound to happen. It happens frequently and it really does bring back memories of going to the beach with my family when a was a toddler. To me, this brings emotions of joy, happiness, having a holiday with my family. Maybe it will do the same for you, hopefully it finds that special emotional connection like I have. This is the power of art and photography!
It's hard to go past this photograph which takes out my number one spot as my top Australian Art Print!! The beach, the surf and the coastline which is famous for being a Surfers Paradise. Although, conditions like this are hard to find along this stretch of beach due to the direction of the winds and abundance of sand, it sure is a great place to surf, have fun with friends and family and enjoy life. Which is what we are all wanting to do!
Being a photographer in Australia is one of the most rewarding and interesting jobs I could dream of. Being able to travel with friendly people from all around, enjoying beautiful views, large mountains and the vast difference of dessert surrounded by turquoise waters, really is a dream come true. I'm very greatful and fortunate that I've been able to travel around our beautiful country. Maybe I'm a little biased but I think Australia is one of the most intersting places on Earth.

Over the years, I've often thought to myself that photographic canvas prints are a thing of the past, they were super popular in the early 2000's with the rise of inkjet printers and being able to produce high volumes of prints. By no means have they lost their trend, it's just my own personal opinion on canvas. I'm looking for something that feels a bit more luxurious.
Fast forward 20 years and the question beckons, are they dead? Are they still trendy and will they look good in my home?
Generally speaking most people that purchase art from my store buy a framed print or acrylic print. The later being super trendy at the moment but will they stand the trendy test of time?
My thoughts? Acrylic prints are a fantastic medium that offer this high resolution feel, like a 4k TV, they suit photographs very well, giving it a wow factor. They float off the wall and really bring a wow factor into the room. Will they stand the test of time? Providing you purhchased quality acrylics which is what we offer, and so long as you look after the prints they will look great for many years to come. But, will they still be trendy? I'll answer that down below.....
So, what about framed prints? They have almost been the most established and sort after medium since their inception. But why is that? I beleive it comes down to one simple fact. THE FRAMES! Frames give them presence on the wall, they can help style your wall to suit the colours in your room, matching style and elegance to help tie the room together.
So, to answer the question "Are canvas prints dead?" Simple answer, no! Adding a float frame to the canvas often brings new life to a medium that sometimes look a little lack luster or perhaps a little boring and plain. Putting a frame around your canvas or even acrylic in the years to come, will help bring that style, elegance and luxurious feel to your artwork. They might cost a bit more but it really does bring everything together and help finish the canvas off.
This is why, here at Jon Wright Photography I'm proud to announce we offer a float frame canvas on all our prints. Simply choose your colour from the third drop down when purchasing your print.

I’m pleased to announce my new abstract collection called “White Wash” is finally here. The concept came about a few years ago where I went to the coast to capture some surf images, however, the weather decided on a different idea. Not wanting to leave empty-handed I started focusing on the white wash and spray being created when the waves smashed against the rocks.
As I got back to the office and started to play around with the concept and noticing the depth and perception of a textured scene, I realised a few more sessions like this with different lighting conditions could produce some unique abstract works of art. The idea is to challenge the viewers into understanding what they’re looking at with different perspectives and tweaks with colour and light. All photographs were captured in nature.
White Wash is a collection of abstract ocean images the delves into the world of seemingly normal events that occur around the beach with a large focus of the white water that waves produce. Twisting and creating these mundane situations and creating beautiful artwork is a key focus of the White Wash collection.⠀
The goal of searching for something different and trying to find the beauty within something so seemingly normal in an everyday occurrence was a challenge but one that I believe produced beautiful works.
