8th January 2014

If you asked one hundred portrait photographers (or in fact ANY professional photographers), I suspect that ninety-nine of them would list “How much for the disc?” as one of their most frequently asked questions.

And the other one would be lying.

Stunning Graffiti Hyperlapse Video

2nd December 2013

Believe it or not, this is photography.

A hyperlapse video (think timelapse but with the camera moving between frames) of a vast warehouse in Brisbane being graffitied.

A million miles from what I do with a camera, but art nonetheless and stunning to watch.

Burnley Bump Photography – Samantha

15th May 2013

Samantha set the bar high with the example images that she sent me, but with a little bit of hard work, some creativity and quite a few metres of fabric, we were able to create some fantastic bump photographs for her and Bruno.

I don’t think the newborn photoshoot will be quite this calm or serene, but I’m looking forward to it nonetheless!

Christmas Baby Fair in Altrincham – Baby Photography

13th March 2013

Wow, it really has taken too long to get this blog posted – Christmas is a distant memory now (though the weather is still rather wintry!), but I thought the pictures should be seen even if they are a bit late!

Roll on next Christmas!!!
