Coffee & Cameras with Brandon Bailey

In this episode of Coffee & Cameras, I catch up with Bondi-based photographer Brandon Bailey @overblouisbailey a morning latte and a walk by the iconic Bondi Beach. Brandon shares how growing up around creativity—his father a Creative Director and his mother an artist—shaped his path into photography. Now living just two minutes from the sand, Brandon has turned Bondi into his canvas, capturing surf culture, sunrise light, and the ever-changing rhythm of beach life.

We dive into what it’s like shooting the same location every day, the joys and creative challenges that come with it, and how repetition can spark refinement rather than boredom. Brandon opens up about imposter syndrome, the balance of being a full-time teacher with a passion for photography, and the dream of someday turning his hobby into something more.

We also talk about travel photography, gear choices, selling prints, working with local brands, and the idea of doing a group exhibition with other local photographers. This one’s a candid, honest, and inspiring chat with a creative who’s quietly building something special right by the sea.
