A morning portrait photo shoot at the beautiful Thornes Bay, Takapuna.
Really have been spoilt for choice so far in Auckland, New Zealand. Six photo shoots down and another 10 to go! One very special place for photography between Takapuna and Milford is a little beach called Thornes Bay. It’s nestled in between volcanic rock and Pohutukawa trees. It’s an amazing place for photography – so [...]
An Auckland Portrait Shoot with an Urban Flavour – Wynyard Quarter.
Flynn and Hugo are mad about basketball. So it was only fitting that our photoshoot was in Downtown Auckland at the new Wynyard Quarter. What was formerly industrial dock wasteland has now been transformed into a very cool urban playground. With gorgeous morning light there were loads of nice photo opportunities to be had. I’m [...]

Hey New Zealand – See ya for a few photos in a couple weeks…
Pretty cool that it’ll be the first time we head back home to New Zealand as a family. The reality of it all is starting to kick in – and it’s going to be a pretty friggin cool couple of months! Having two whole months off any kind of work is likely to drive me [...]

Something for the petrol-heads! Pageant of Power, Cholmondeley photos 2010
A break in the weather gave me a window of half an hour to run round and grab some photos of the Pageant of Power, Cholmondeley. Lucky there was some sun otherwise there would only be close-up shots of V12 engines! A fantastic setting down in the Cheshire country-side, the pageant of power is essentially [...]

It’s Isla’s first birthday tonight…
So i’ll be heading down to grab a few photos of the festivities. It sounds like the Isla Gladstone Conservatory has had a very colourful history… being burned down, left to neglect, and now has been restored and standing proud in the re-furbished Stanley Park. It’s been a pleasure to be part of its first [...]
This is Ph Creative – a couple of photos from their recent team shoot
Ph Creative – these guys are not your typical creative agency. It seems they like to kick the bog-standard old school design malarcky well into touch. So the brief was to capture their fresh creative take on things in the form of a few relaxed photographs. Without further ado… Click here Photography Liverpool to [...]
The New Liverpool Skyline – a photo from a recent night time shoot.
Was recently commissioned to take a few photos in and around Liverpool. I made my way down to the Mersey one clear evening and grabbed a few shots. Conscious of the number of Liverpool Skyline shots i’ve both seen and taken since i’ve been living here, I zoomed in a little closer and tried to [...]
Simon Rimmer from BBC Something for the Weekend – photos of his restaurant Greens in Manchester
Rolled over to Manchester to grab some photos for BBC Olive magazine. This time the brief was to try and catch the “busy TV celebrity chef” Simon Rimmer and his restaurant Greens in south Manchester.

More photos from the Liverpool One Summer Beach!
Hard to believe the sun came out in Liverpool One for about half an hour yesterday – but luckily enough it did – and gave me the opportunity to fulfil the brief of capturing photos of people out in the sun having a good time at the new Liverpool One beach! On another note I [...]

Liverpool University English Department Photo Shoot
And the Gods smiled on us… the only afternoon in the past month (as far as i’m aware) where the sun shone consistently, brightly, brilliantly… etc etc.. was the afternoon where the brief was to capture images that would persuade students from the planet to come and study English in Liverpool! And why wouldn’t you [...]
