As mentioned in my previous blog post – here’s few more photos from my Aunty Fi’s birthday. These are my Uncles, my Aunties, my amazing Mum (second photo) and my Cousins. Faces I have grown up with. Faces that are family.
Family Faces – Some Portraits from a little Get Together…
So nice to be home! Here’s a few quick portraits of my nieces and nephews. Always love getting updated shots – and always so interesting to see how much their faces have changed. I have lots of commissioned portrait shoots coming up in the next couple of weeks – I really hope the weather [...]

Some Corporate Portraits for the Liverpool One Team…
A perfect winter’s morning greeted us as we hit the Liverpool One outdoor shopping complex for some team portraits. The marketing team had a massive year last year with some fantastic events going on. From Gok Wan’s Fashion Runway to X Factor stars Rebecca Ferguson and Marcus Collins live in concert – there was always [...]
The People of Mathew Street Festival 2011 – some photos of the festival goers…
At the end of the day – this is what it all comes down to… You. The people. This was my third year as the official photographer of the Mathew Street Festival. Each year I try to capture something a little bit different. This year I was given a nice open brief – a “freedom [...]
Brabners Stuart Liverpool – some photos from a recent team shoot…
Brabners Stuart – corporate legal finance experts – are an integral part of Brabners Chaffe Street, based in Liverpool. The brief was to grab some corporate portraits “but not the usual bog-standard type.” That’s always a bit of a challenge as one person’s perspective on creativity is always different to the next. So what I [...]
A Great Day for Photography at the Hub Festival, Liverpool.

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 [...]

It’s all about the networking…
Having photographed quite a few networking events recently – it’s interesting to note their increasing popularity. There was a great turn out at the most recent “striding out” event at the Mandarin restaurant, Victoria street. Perhaps it was due to the quality of speakers present. The theme was “trends for 2009 and how these will [...]
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. [...]
Lightworks Photography Studio in Static
Have been busy painting the new “Lightworks” photography studio in Liverpool and had to endure an afternoon at Ikea yesterday buying some funky furniture. Dubbed “the Lightworks” it will be taking the collective space of Ant Clausen Photography and Deana Clarke Photography to a new level with a permanent studio set-up and client meeting area. [...]
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 [...]
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… [...]
