Some of my favourites...

Some photos have further portfolio value.  Some have a value that while they might not be worth including in your 'book', have an emotional value that (hopefully) will communicate itself to the viewer.  These are a few of my favourites.  Why?  Make the jump...

MNSFW - A night (or a few nights) out in friendly Christchurch...

Happiness is...

Last week I blogged about the Shapeshifter gig with the CSO.  I always grin when I think about the gig, or look back at some of the images.  Happiness can be captured on film.

Were you there?

"Something old, something new..."
So, as mentioned in a previous blog, I'm updating my website. And on the advice of my design, marketing and branding guru, I'm using the website's downtime to showcase some of my older work on my blog. But with gigabytes of images to choose from, where to start?
I've decided to revisit a defining moment in my photographic career - a night where I not only had one of the best nights of my life, but also captured some my most enduring images. Images that I look back at when I'm trawling through my archives and still smile about.

Updating time...

So - since it's been a while I thought I'd contribute a little something to the ever growing morass that we know as the interweb...

A week or two ago I was asked to photograph actor Peter Phillips-Vass. For those of you keeping up with my photographic exploits, you'll remember that we did a location shoot a few months (ok, possibly longer...) ago. He was in the process of auditioning for Underbelly 3, and we went for a bit of a themed look to the shoot - a cross between a Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels hardman, and 'local businessman/entrepreneur'. (You can see them earlier in this blog...)

New Zealand Music, er, weekend...

Ah, life can be tough sometimes. For those that haven't had the dubious honour of meeting me in the flesh, please be aware that there is a certain degree of sarcasm in those opening words. Just a touch.
Because for all the 'necessary' work that a photographer has to complete, sometimes we get to indulge ourselves and do something we are passionate about. If we're lucky. And this weekend, I was doubly blessed - two NZ bands, both favourites of mine, were playing on consecutive nights.
