ABOUT

 

I have been a sailor and an advertising / commercial photographer in past careers.

​

I was lucky enough to be able combine these passions after winning the contract to be a photographer for the 31st America’s Cup in Auckland. This led on to many great opportunities shooting sailing for teams, agencies and events, including being Emirates Team New Zealand’s photographer from 2004 to 2015.

​

My photos have been in magazines, newspapers, posters, billboards, books and websites. They’ve been on stamps, buildings and busses, almost anything you could imagine.

 

I believe one of my greatest strengths in the field is my ability to create an image that is technically perfect and aesthetically appealing at the same time as meeting every requirement of my client.

​

To meet my client’s brief is the most important thing with any job. Great yacht photography requires meticulous planning and preparation and some cooperation from nature.

​

There is no better feeling for me than when the planning and preparation comes together and I get, not only the shots that meet the brief but imagery that exceeds the expectations of my client.
