I recently did a shoot for Vogue Entertaining and Travel. They were doing a feature titled “A Taste of Queensland”, and asked me to photograph Chef James Long at Aqua Restaurant, at the Sea Temple Resort.
Japan’s The Hiragana Times did a story on Dr Sketchy’s Tokyo, using photo’s I had taken in the course of my work at the Dr Sketchy photog.
In Tokyo I did a lot of work for hair dressers – it is a BIG business in Tokyo, and in some districts (Harajuku, Ebisu and Shibuya) the concentration of Hair Salons can be anything from 3 to 12 in each city block. This glossy, Snip, features more underground and up-and-coming hair stylists. Mint hair salon calls itself a “manniaku hairmake” – a maniacal hair salon, they do a lot of extremely experimental styles there, and so they were featured in this issue of Snip.
The world is fascinated with Japanese culture. I took a series of pictures of a tea ceremony and sold them to Sabaru’s inhouse promo magazine, Drive, in Germany.
Asia Inc Mag commissioned me to write a story about Tokyo, for a feature they were doing titled “Asia’s Hip Cities”. It was not an easy job, but it paid quite well and I learned a lot about Tokyo’s more corporate Expat world in the process.
Canon celebrated their 20th year of EOS camera systems with a special magazine in Japan. In one of the cute quirks of life in Japan, I was asked to be photographed and interviewed for the “Today’s Users” feature.. It was horrid, I HATE being in front of the camera but it certainly led to some cool developments and projects in my photographic career.
