SuperGibo Lab

The Lab

Everything I make for other photographers and videographers — mentoring, workshops, presets and LUTs, the gear store, and the guides I wish someone had handed me in 2015.

What this is

Ten years of working it out, in one place

I have shot 20–50 weddings a year since 2015 and went full-time in 2024. The Lab is where the teaching side lives, kept separate from the wedding pages so couples and photographers are not reading each other’s mail.

Nothing here is theory. It is what worked, what did not, and what cost me money to learn.

Learn

Three ways to work together

One to one

1-on-1 mentoring

A focused session on whatever is actually stuck — pricing, posing, lighting a dark reception, culling faster, or getting enquiries to convert. Online, or in person in Auckland.

On a real day

Second-shooting days

Come out on an actual wedding. The timeline, the family-group chaos, the low-light reception, and the recovery when it rains — the parts a workshop cannot stage.

Small group

Workshops

Hands-on sessions with a styled couple and real gear. Off-camera flash, movement and direction, and the business side most workshops skip.

Presets & LUTs

The looks I actually deliver with

Not a pack built for a sales page. These are the presets and LUTs running on real Auckland weddings — harsh midday sun, tungsten receptions, marquees at dusk, and the mixed lighting that ruins most presets.

Written guides come with them, because a preset that you cannot adjust is worth very little.

Guides worth stealing

For couples

Wedding planning guide

Written for couples — which makes it useful for you. It is the timeline logic and the questions couples are actually asking when they enquire.

Directing

Engagement session guide

How to run a shoot with two people who have never been photographed together, and get something they will actually print.

Twelve regions

Auckland venue guides

Capacity, light, wet-weather plans and the gotchas — from a photographer’s point of view, not a listing site’s.

Kit

The Lab store

Bodies, glass, film kit and the unglamorous things that save a wedding day — with what each one is genuinely good at, and where it falls short. Plus the ten brand stores I partner with, so you can buy the same kit through my links.
