Damine Pleming for Neocate

" Working with children is lot's of fun when you're a big kid at heart! So when Sydney agency, Arterial Marketing came to me with a brief to capture a collection of energetic children's portraits, I knew it was going to be fun! Hard work, but fun! The idea was to give the client a library of images they could use over time for a number of purposes. Here are just a few of the images I captured. "

Damien Pleming for Hagar

" During the past 18 years that I've worked as a photographer, I don't recall working on a project that had such an emotional impact on me as my recent Job in Cambodia and Vietnam for the international aid agency Hagar.
 
Hagar look after those that other agencies can't help, namely woman and children who have been subject to extreme cases of sexual abuse, domestic violence and exploitation (trafficking).
I had a good understanding of what the people I photographed had been through, but chose not to get their full stories before working with each of them so I could focus on the positive. I wanted to able to have fun with them and get them to relax in front of the camera. The brief was to capture the new life these women & kids have found with Hagar, conveying a mix of joy and happiness, but also vulnerability in the shots, without exposing the full identity of the children. 

I am left feeling that somehow we live in a balanced world where some true mongrel people exist, then, we have incredible people working for such agencies as Hagar. "

Damien Pleming for Nike

" Having a sporting background myself, I relish the chance to work on assignments with a sports bent. Agency 'The Locals' in Melbourne work closely with Nike Australia, and appoached me to photograph a number of jobs for them this year, involving the Socceroos and some of the Nike sponsored Australian track athletes. I had 10 minutes with each Socceroo which wasn't too bad, but when the admin at AAMI Park decided to move my setup 5 minutes prior to Lucas Neil arriving, it really got the blood pumping! "
