Teamed up with friends of mine Eden & Chloe the other day. Eden’s a rad guy and likes to make his own things you can surf on. I like people who make things; creatives, craftsmen, the like. You can check out his surfing boards on the Dead Kooks site.
I went and shot some promo pics for JM Paddleboards, the brainchild of 9 time Molokai Paddleboard champ, big wave surfer and Quiksilver athlete Jamie Mitchell.
I’ve spent a bit of time in shaping bay’s and have always thought they have cool light.
For those of you who haven’t ever been in one, this is what you’ll see

Anyone that has been on the East coast of Australia will know how much it’s rained lately, weeks and weeks nonestop. I never thought it could rain this much, ever, anywhere. Along with messing with my head, it’s been messing with my business too.
Was scheduled to shoot a profile of actor Felix Kong, who’s been in recent roles in Sea Patrol, alongside Underbelly star Geyton Grantley in new film Full Catch, and in commercials for Subway and Nokia.
The weather just wouldn’t cooperate though, and our deadline was fast approaching. I finally had the idea of just riding the train to stay dry, and seeing what would happen. We packed real light, camera, lenses, Haley Whittle my makeup artist kept watch, and we came home with some cool shots.

Just finished working with Courtney Hancock, an athlete on the Kellogg’s Nutrigrain series. The brief to me called for an editorial type piece for publication to give a bit of insight on who Courtney is.
The story I’m telling is of the transition from Courtney the young beach girl, enjoying herself just like anyone else her age does, to the unbridled drive that makes her a serious contender as an Ironwoman. I think the transition between the lifestyle shots through to the final image of her running on the beach does that.
4 days after this shoot Courtney came runner up in the Coolangatta Gold endurance race.

Got word this morning that images from this shoot I did of teen singing sensation Jordan Jansen were run by US teen magazine Life Story.
I initially shot the images for Jordan’s US management company Electric Feel, and they were then re-licensed by Life Story who ran a 4 page editorial.
Here are the scans
I worked with Madonna Williams a little while ago shooting an editorial for Get It magazine. Below is the tear from the mag, and a few of my favourite outtakes.
Exciting new label Rue Denim has rolled out the images we recently shot in studio of their summer range. The aim was to produce brand images for in-store and web signage.
The brief was all about showing the form fitting range of jeans on a clean white background.
Tech info after the images
Tech info for all you tech junkies:
You might remember my shoot in 2009 with The Cool Calm Collective.
This year the band (Minus 2 members but plus one) got back in contact with me to do their 2010 advertising images on the back of playing at Splendour.
We caught up at Neverland before soundcheck and shot off some frames.
Hi Everyone, since Vimeo doesn’t work on all devices, here is the same video from the previous post on YouTube
