“I think there is something cool in capturing athletes and making them look like gods”.
Kurt Thomson is a Brisbane based Freelance Photographer and Videographer who has traveled Australia and the world to capture athletes and sport.
With a 9-5 career as a draftsman for over seven years, a fast-and-loose Kurt picked up a camera one holiday and instantly found love. It was not long after this vacation fling that he decided to study the art, make it it his second job before quickly taking the plunge into full time self employment.
Kurt shares his growth story; from how maintaining a presence on his Instagram page miraculously catapulted him to the United States to photograph the most legendary golfer of all time… (yes, that one).
We talk about some of his work with FOX Sports, NRL side Brisbane Broncos, NBL side Brisbane Bullets, Australian Super Netball and golf brand TaylorMade.
We get a bit philosophical in this episode and talk about success and failure, living in the moment and striving to always be better.
Kurt breaks down some of the things he is looking out for when he is doing a shoot, how he operates while on set, content IP and shares a really great story involving his camera and roller-blades.
We talk motivation, inspiration and who he likes to follow online.
