I was delighted to participate in a photoshoot with Bruno, recently.
This was my first ever model shoot and, as an amateur photographer, trying to master a complex Canon 5D, I was out of my comfort and skill zone.
It was such an awesome experience to participate with the models, and have the support of Bruno’s extensive experience.
This shoot demonstrated Bruno’s capacity to deal with a covert set of photographers displaying different skills set. My confidence in my ignorance, soon established a knowledge base, which grew with Bruno’s mentoring.
Whilst still a budding amateur, this photo shoot built skills, knowledge and awareness, which fast tracked my camera operation and provided a benchmark of excellence, which Bruno set.
I’ve had a lot of opportunities to work with wonderful, talented people in the South East QLD creative community since starting my modelling journey late in 2016 – one of which being Bruno Domingues Photographer. Bruno quickly became more than a photographer but a friend, due to trustworthy, supportive and encouraging nature. When I began modelling I had some things holding me back from reaching my potential. In every one of our shoots in 2017, he came ready with kind words and advice, to ease me into feeling at home in modelling. He showed me that our ‘flaws’ we see (that are oftentimes set by society), are not to be ashamed of, they’re to be celebrated. They’re not flaws, they’re what makes us beautiful. This progressed my skillset immensely, as well as my confidence levels within the work.
In 2022, I moved back and not only have we shot some gorgeous work together, he has guided me in small ways I can improve, helped me realise what my strong points are, and assisted me in the safety aspect of booking my paid work with new photographers. The recent photoshoots we’ve done have led to a lot more interaction on my social media and significant more interest in bookings. I will never be able to thank Bruno enough for his progression in my journey!
Bruno is a very charismatic Brazilian with an unbridled flair for creativity. He brings life to the streets of Brisbane with his photowalks. His passions go beyond just pressing a button on a camera.
Bruno has a unique skill of teaching that allows women to unlock their inner potential. He can turn the most amateur models into industry professionals in just a few hours. Some people spend decades studying and learning what Bruno can teach you in just a couple of hours so it’s no stretch to say that he is easily the best modelling coach in Brisbane. Every time I shoot with Bruno I’m transformed into a ball of confidence and sophistication.
Shooting with him is so much fun and there is absolutely zero pressure because he makes it all happen for you. I cannot recommend this magical man enough. If you’re ready for some of the best images of your life then book Bruno, because he makes good models into brilliant models every time.
The greatest skill a model can learn from Bruno is how to “Kate Moss it”. Since shooting with Bruno, my modelling has not only improved but changed entirely. I was told this would happen but I didn’t believe how quickly this would happen. I’ve been taught all kinds of modelling skills that have made my shoots less about posing & instead more freeing, capturing a natural & beautiful moment. There are many other aspects to modelling that can be extremely overwhelming that Bruno has helped through. He’s taught me about rates, organisation, safety, different types of photographers & how they may expect different styles of modelling, communication & so much more. I now get paid for shoots & have so much more confidence. I recommend Bruno to anyone looking to improve, learn & get more insight in the industry.
I first met Bruno a few years ago through a mutual friend. I had an interest in photographing Cosplayers, and was looking to improve my photography skills. One of the cosplayers I had regularly photographed, Annaliese, posted about some Photowalks that Bruno was hosting, and so I decided to give one a try, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I never knew photography could be so much fun, and in a short time I have massively improved my photography skills. Bruno’s photowalks really are one of the best ways to get better rapidly, there are so many people there willing to guide you and provide assistance, including Bruno himself. Since then, I have also gotten my wife into photography and she also enjoys the photowalks too.
I recommend anyone, beginner or professional, to at least try a photowalk with Bruno. You will have an amazing time, make some great friends, and walk away with a lot of stunning photos too!
2023 has had such an amazing start! Working with Bruno has been such an incredible experience and increased leaps in my progression of modelling!
Not only have I been able to create more paid opportunities, I have had so much support from him in this creative industry.
I have gained an incredible friend and mentor!
And for any aspiring models I would 110% recommend Bruno!
It has been such a pleasure to meet and get to know Bruno. He’s not only been someone I can turn to with any questions about the industry, proof reading and teaching and all, but also a friend to spend time with and lean on if need be. He’s one of the most genuine and generous people I’ve had the privilege to meet, and I’m excited to work on many more fun and creative projects together in the future! Love you lots my beautiful friend, you’re a star!
