After I made this video of Scarlett Alone In Paris, the American TV show “Right This Minute” got in touch and wanted to feature my video. It’s so surreal seeing a room of American’s talking about mine & Scarlett’s adventure! You can see the actual video here.

In the past few years as I have progressed into the video industry, I’ve been an avid follower of Philips work and it’s simply ground breaking. It’s easy to see why CNN recently booked him to shoot their documentary series The… Read more »

2014 – Year in Review
Updating a blog. It’s one of those things that is always sitting on my to-do list. But truth be told, it always gets pushed down the list by more pressing tasks, such as work for clients & more recently – spending time with my daughter! So while I had good intentions to update this monthly, or even every few months, this hasn’t been done for some time now! So without further adieu here is the highlights from… Read more »
Making Great & Easy Videos on your iPhone with Replay
I’ve had a few emails lately asking what program I use to make my videos I post on my YouTube channel. For any commercial projects on there, I obviously use my Canon 5dmk3 + Final Cut Pro X.

Nokia 1020 – Photographer’s Thoughts & Review
For the past 3 months I have been reviewing & playing with the Nokia 1020 for Nokia NZ & Telecom. Being a lover of all things Mac, it was always going to be a hard ask to impress me. The Nokia 1020 certainly did that, and some. While the phone comes into a smartphone category, I think it would be better suited as a smartcamera! The 41MP camera surely is something. Having full control of… Read more »
