Photos from One Park West Show Apartments – a sneak preview.
Described as being the “jewel in the duke’s crown” the final phase of Liverpool One is being implemented. These are the One Park West 17 storey apartments overlooking the Mersey River. I was there for the grand opening by the Duke of Westminster a few months back. Now the apartments are on the market and [...]
Some photos from the recent Barclays branch opening – Hull.
One of the things i’m lovin about photography here in the North West is it’s taking me to a few new places I might not otherwise see. Hull for example. Barclays have recently opened a new branch here, located centrally in the town square. Here’s a few photos of the people that both make up [...]
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce – photos from the platform lunch…
Another great networking event with the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. Held at the cool Osqa restaurant bar on Roscoe Street – there was lunch laid on, a bit of speed-networking and presentations by local business people. Next event will be when the tennis comes to town. To check out more event photographs please click here: [...]
A Photo from New Zealand…
Think i’m over the jet-lag now, so with a bit of luck the blog will start to roll again. Here’s one of my favourite shots from my recent trip back home to New Zealand. Taken at sunrise on a beach north of where I grew up – I guess it’s the subtle moody tones of [...]
A few photographs for BBC Olive magazine in Leeds

Serving up an Espressamente in Waterstones…
Just a quick afternoon PR job in Waterstones – Liverpool One to grab a few photographs of the new cafe Espressamente… a bit of a mouthful I must admit, but the espresso is to die for! To view the rest of the photographs please click here espressamente liverpool To go back to the main site [...]
HOT models night at Chaya…
Hmmmmmmmm scorchin’ even… let’s not beat around the bush… The inaugural “red carpet” event took place on Thursday “slap bang” in the action district of Liverpool. Many pretty people adorned both the bar and the cat walk for an evening of ‘decadence delirium’ sure to please any self-respecting young, hip, wannabe “be-seen-type” individual. The best [...]
There’s a young star on the rise – Becci’s Model Portfolio, Liverpool.
And I had the pleasure of photographing Becci for her model portfolio in Liverpool on the weekend. This was her first ever photo shoot. I think the results speak for themselves… keep an eye out for this young model on the rise… To view Becci’s entire shoot – please click here model portfolio
Check out the view!
The Panoramic bar up the top of the Beetham Tower is the perfect place for an evening cocktail. I was up there last week to grab some promotional photographs for them. The view is nothing short of incredible. To see more shots of the bar and the view – click here panoramic bar liverpool To [...]
The Mystery Tipper Hits Liverpool
Coming from a marketing background – I always appreciate a good campaign – and this one was a cracker! Red C Marketing from Manchester came up with the mystery tipper campaign to incentivise taxi drivers who wore their sticker on their cabs. And today a lucky Liverpool cabbie’s ship came in. After the cheque was [...]
Snow on the rooftops of Liverpool…
One of the bonuses of living in the top floor of an apartment is that you can look out the window and immediately see Liverpool from a fresh new angle… you can then poke your camera out the window and take a photograph! So when it was icy cold yesterday morning… that’s what I did. [...]
The Bloggers Block..
An interesting theory – what happens when a “blogger” gets a bit too busy and perhaps doesn’t have time to add the attention and detail needed to keep a blog ticking along. I imagine a similar occurrence when a writer gets writer’s block and they stop writing for a while until they find inspiration from [...]

They will be sold as a limited edition of 30 signed and numbered prints. There will be different sizes available and framed canvas prints also. I’ve been travelling across to [...]
Flaring Cocktails at Chameleon…
Back again to photograph the hottest new bar in Liverpool. This time the focus is on the cocktails. “Flaring” which is the bartending equivalent of juggling – was on display and definitely a challenge in low light. I opted to shoot with available light to show movement in the bottles/shakers etc and hope the bartenders [...]
2008 – ummm where did it go?
Another year snuck by… but I have to say 2008 has been a bit of a corker (Antipodean expression for bloody good!) Even though i’m a bit slow on the uptake, writing my 2008-retrospective blog in early Jan… but hey… i’ve been hangin in North Wales in a farm house in the middle of nowhere… [...]
A ramble round North Wales…
Jack Frost has come out to play in this recent series of photographs taken in North Wales. The first few are from Llyn Gwynant in Snowdonia. It was around 3pm and we knew we’d have to make the ‘ramble’ rather brisk to make it round the lake before dark. The second set are taken around [...]
YEEEEEHAAAAAA BIZARRE!!!!!!!
She was all go at the Bizarre Creations Christmas Party at the Hillbark Hotel on the Wirral. And what a great party to photograph! From what I can tell these guys make some of the coolest video games around – and they know how to throw a good ol’ shin-dig! Was happy to hear their [...]

The Duke of Westminster was present to open his latest venture after the Liverpool One shopping complex is thriving in the Liverpool Christmas rush. Also present were [...]
A Cup of Tea with the Mayor…
In the parlour of the Liverpool City Hall no less. The great thing about photography is you never know where it will take you from one day to the next. After recently joining the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce – i’m looking forward to a wealth of opportunities in the new year. Having a cup of [...]
Stock Photography Online…
www.123fr.com – This is one of the few stock photography agencies I submit to online. They’re actually, probably my worst seller… but with stock photography often it’s a case of quantity as well as quality. If you have a comprehensive portfolio – you can be a “one-stop-shop” for potential buyers… so I make enough money [...]
Today’s Landscape Photo…
Comes from the south coast of Mallorca at 6am. I wandered gingerly round the rocks using my mobile phone as a flashlight. It was a cold, stormy morning. No warm postcard sunrises to be had today. I set up the tripod, got out the trusty wide angle lens and tried to find a stable position [...]
