Happy Photography Friday friends.
This is self described "Gaysian empress of Sydney", Dyan Tai. I took this on behalf of Midsumma at the VIC Pride Street party a couple of weeks ago.
Image description: Dyan Tai, face painted white, wearing a frilly pink and blue two piece, has their midriff showing. Stands with one foot on a speaker and chimes cymbals together in the air.

Did you know that I have a Ko-fi page? It has all the comings and goings of this disabled photographer. Please donate anything you can so that you can follow the behind the scenes and finished edits of my work. Daddy needs a new lens!

Just had a rollicking good time at the Q-Lit Festival.
First up was a comedy-infused panel unpacking the impact of the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race against the queer stories being told (exploring whether Drag Race overshadows deeper, more diverse queer narratives, or if it’s just the beginning), hosted by Steph Crothers, with Lazy Susan and Patrick Lenton.
Then "Gag Reflex" comedy from Scout Boxall, Matt Barron, Maddy Weeks, Robyn Renolds, Neptune Henriksen, and Shyaire.
They all made it incredibly difficult to do my job and take images as I was laughing so hard.
Last night of the festival is tomorrow!
I was given a grant this year and part of it was working with a world renowned marketing company to rejig my look. As a result, here's my new business card and flyer.
Image description 1: Light green business card with purple writing. In the top left corner are the words "World Vision Photography" wrapped two thirds of the way around a camera lens aperture symbol. Underneath is my name, Teague Leigh. Under that are the genres I work in: Events, Nature, Landscapes, Architecture, & Outdoor Portraiture.
Image description 2: Back side of business card. In the top right corner is a purple barcode. Under that is my name. Under that is where I'm located (Naarm). At the bottom is my website www.tlwvision.au
Image description 3: A flyer in portrait with a combination of both sides of the business card.

Had the pleasure of photographing the Melbourne Rainbow Band’s annual "Carol's by Queerlight" event Saturday night.
I always follow the clients brief, but also find time for play. This is one of my favourite "arty" shots of the night.

Wow, just posted to a gay aussie hookup group that requires your location. I said Naarm.
I've already had a couple of guys (including one of the admins) saying "where the f*ck is Naarm, never heard of it".
Thanks for culling the herd boys. 🤦🏼♂️
