Welcome

I'm a photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I have shot a variety of projects, including portraits, fine art landscapes and product photography for businesses. I have also shot motorsports for something a little more challenging. In my spare time, I'm currently working on a timelapse series of New Zealand having recently included Lake Tekapo and Aoraki (Mount Cook) to the list.

There have been many occasions where the day after a shoot I've been almost unable to walk. There is no gym work out that can match a full day shooting a car. Weddings are similar. Back when I shot those too, I had to clear the next day on my calendar. Not only for sleep but usually because my legs were pretty much useless. Cars are an especially good workout though, I'm not sure even the most keen cross-fitter could keep up with a photographer on a full day shoot for a car.

In the past few years I have decided to expore a bit of New Zealand and one long Easter Weekend I took off to the Bay of Islands with some friends.

I raced down to the beach and managed to catch this single shot before the light disappeared completely for the day.  The next day my friends decided that one of the things we should do while on holiday in the Bay of Islands was to go sailing, I was less To View More >>
