First Book Cover- Exciting stuff

Yep thats right, the client has just approved my image for their international crime novel cover!!, I love photographic goals, I love setting them, and I loooove reaching them!

thats all, just thought I'd share my excitement... our little house is buzzing right now:)

Beauty Headshot- Chainmail

I've been really lucky lately to work with some extremely talented make up artists, one was Heather Baker who I worked with on the street editorial shoot and has now gone back to Seattle, and the other is Dara Wakely, who is another amazing make up artist! She works on films, tv, editorials, etc etc. She's an awesome person and absolutely fantastic to work with on set. Hopefully we'll get to work together again soon as our visions, styles and level of work really compliment each other as you can see in these images. Our model was Toni Edwards, who is signed with modelling agency, The Agencie, based in Wellington, this girl is also a dream to work with, it's like she'd envisioned the look we needed and as soon as I looked through the viewfinder that look hit me with a BAM, it perfectly fitted the image as a whole.. I absolutely love it when that happens!. Not to mention these were photographed in a cold evening and outside, and believe me that chainmail is cold! There's more to come of these when I get a chance to process them but here's a few for now.
Enjoy :)

Engagement-Courtney & Doug

Whew rain!, although I'm not into rain as I get a bank up of shooting work, at the moment it is welcomed so I can catch up on much needed post and organization work, not to mention sharing some of the new stuff I've been working on lately:)


We photographed a fantastic couple a month or so ago for their engagement, here's a few from that shoot...

Wedding- Ashley & Shay

We photographed a terrific wedding yesterday. It was held at Fitzroy Beach then we got some photos at Back Beach and Pukekura Park that I'm really stoked with and I think they will be too! Here's a little taster for them to share with everyone =)

Editorial

I've been extremely busy lately, and it's been soo good! I'm waiting to hear if one of my clients wins in their Nationals of their field, I'll post some photos once the Nationals are over for them. The house market is changing, whether it is a fast market or here to stay is yet to be seen, but there's a lot of buzz and movement happening out there at the moment. I've photographed some really insane houses in the last week, probably 4 or 5 that I would call my dream home... I love seeing houses like that! Pure indulgence of architectural and design masterpiece, it's all in the details! off to Wellington this weekend, I've been waiting for this trip for a while as we're going to be working with some amazing teams down there over the next couple of days.... Anyway, here's a few I clicked off last week...
