Shutterbugs: A Comedy About Photographers

Shutterbugs, a new Australian comedy series about a group of quirky photography geeks debuted at www.shutterbugs.tv last week.

Set in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Shutterbugs centres on analogue photographer Chloe and her socialite best friend Samantha. Together they get into trouble as they trespass, steal and bend the truth in search of new photography adventures.

Trying to keep them under control is Isaac, an OCD portrait photographer who secretly harbours a crush on Chloe. Rounding out the crew are unhinged video blogger Bo and malicious time-lapse specialist Trent, who take particular joy from tormenting the other characters.

Shutterbugs is the brain child of Melbourne-based photographers David Collins and Kate McIntyre.

"We set out to make a series that understands photographers and mimics the passion that people have for capturing the perfect photo, but the series is also a really good comedy that non-photographers can enjoy as well," says Collins.

Each week on the website, a guest photographer will pay homage to the current episode by providing a unique set of photos inspired by that week’s action.

Shutterbugs web series launched September 27 and new episodes air every Tuesday. The first episode can be seen below, or go to www.shutterbugs.tv
