Paul Fleming meets Dr Chris Brown on The Living Room
Taking a leap outside my comfort zone of being behind the lens, I recently had the pleasure of making an appearance on Channel 10's The Living Room alongside one of the shows' hosts, Dr Chris Brown.
​
Perhaps better known as the Bondi Vet and the host of a bunch of TV shows, Dr Chris Brown is an avid - and talented - photographer. With a keen interest in landscape and wildlife photography, Tasmania was the perfect place for Chris to visit.
​
With the stunning Cradle Mountain in winter as our backdrop, I issued Chris with a challenge to get three photos in one day that capture the area in his own way - using my own images as inspiration.
​
The weather wasn't ideal, but I have to say that Chris did incredibly well. He got a unique shot of the old boatshed - by wading out into the freezing and snow-ringed Dove Lake - and found an adorable little wombat with a moustache made of snow. His wildcard shot was one-of-a-kind, with a rainbow appearing in the spray off Pencil Pine Falls!
​
Chris has shared his shots on The Living Room Facebook page and his own Instagram.
​
This was a new experience for me, and I was unsure if I could follow through with it; I was nervous and anxious but the crew from WTFN and Chris helped me feel at ease very quickly.
​
The episode (S8, EP24) aired on Friday 6 September 2019 and was broadcast nationally across Australia. You can watch Paul Fleming on The Living Room with Dr Chris Brown now on the 10 Play app or online.
