Advertising

My first advertising shoot was with Sir Edmund Hilary for the forgettable Daihatsu Sherpa …ok fine I was only the intern and mostly just made terrible coffee but I was intrigued by the magic we produced that day. I spent the 90’s with a Polaroid under my arm, a second timer running in my head […]

Architecture

Architecture and Design photography is a labour of love . Waiting for hours for the light to be just right, often returning many times just to capture a blade of light grazing a wall to bring out the texture and colour and shape of a building. Great design deserves great images and great images take […]

Automotive

Our love affair with the automobile is as strong as ever and nothing gets pulses racing more than the latest model and a winding strip of asphalt over a mountain pass.

Beauty

The glamorous cousin of portraiture you would think all you had to do is point a camera at a model and boom you’re done but the best Beauty photographers combine the talents of hair and makeup artists, stylists and the model and then add something special. Beauty photography is something I love to shoot.

Editorial

Editorial Photography is all about telling a story. My series on fighters was a finalist in the Hasselblad Masters Editorial section and Designers Couch said “raw, gritty yet serene and simple photos that are masterfully executed.” Pretty happy with that.

For the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project simultaneous parties were held across the globe where paired cities exchanged themes and danced the night away. Sydney traded places with Brazil and the Carnivale party was a […]

Lifestyle

Lifestyle Photography is all about recreating natural little moments with a light carefree authenticity..almost like a memory from a holiday where life was all about living in the moment. Closely related to Editorial Photography, I love to shoot in this style. I think its very much how we live here in Sydney.

Portraits

A portrait can take many forms. It could be an actors headshot, a stolen moment on the street or even a corporate portrait. The best portraits happen when there is a moment , a silent honest connection between the photographer and the subject where pretence and distractions are stripped away and the real person is […]
