I’m not much of a landscape photographer (portraits being more my thing) but when I put this up on my facebook page it stirred a bit of interest so I thought I’d share it here with you guys. Night photography is becoming one of my favourite photographic challenges….. expect to see loads more over the [...]
Harriet is a frikken Amazon. Tall, lean, fit, muscular, gorgeous! A photographers dream. (She’s so gonna cringe when she reads this!) This was her first ever photographic sitting. But we had a lot of fun, and it won’t be the last…. She’s also helping me find more people to sit for me here in Port Douglas. [...]
I have already put up a few of the pictures from this series but I wasn’t happy with the edits until now, so thought I’d run them again, to help launch the newlook website. The Cabaret / Burlesque Scene is Tokyo is really starting to take off, I was really lucky to be a part [...]

I [...]
Gorgeous Lola Star. The daughter of a friend of mine.
My photography classes in Port Douglas, Mossman and Daintree will take you through technical, subject and project based learning. We’ll study the basics of the camera setting triangle: ISO, shutterspeed and aperture, as well as understanding the power of light and framing. We’ll practice what you learn throughout the lesson by doing photo walks, then bringing the images back to the computer for post production. I’ll introduce the different kinds of software available for post production in the digital darkroom, and show you how to use them.
I was lucky enough to become involved in the Tokyo Burlesque Scene through my work as the photographer for the Tokyo Dr Sketchy’s group. In the last month before I left Japan to return to Australia, the stars of the scene and I began a photographic collaboration that will hopefully lead us all to bigger [...]
The Junk above is an icon of Port Douglas – a lovely sailing boat that takes tourists out to the reef and on sunset cruises. One of my favourite sights! Port Douglas. Love this town. I’ve been back here about 10 weeks now, done about one photo job for every week I’ve been here. Which [...]
Lisa is a semi-pro bellydancer. Recently she performed in a big bellydance show, and hired a special costume for 2 weeks especially for the show. It was so gorgeous that she asked me to get some pic’s of her wearing it for her future publicity shots. Fabulous. I went to see the show, it was [...]
Dear Blog Friends, I’m writing to invite you to my third (and perhaps my last?) photo exhibition in Tokyo, next weekend – Saturday November 22.

Sandi & I had both been wanting to do a glamour shoot in the style of old Hollywood for a long time. June 1 & 2, we spent the weekend setting up and shooting 1200 photos in about 8 different scenes, experimenting with lighting, props and backgrounds, costumes and makeup. Not everything worked, but it [...]
The Asoboo network has been a great find for me! The second photo meet-up was held on Sunday March 2 and we had a rather delightful day roaming the shitamachi districts of Tokyo – Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi and Ueno. You can see my photos here, and the entire groups photos at the Asoboo photo meetup [...]
Asoboo is an internet-based creative social network that was started in Japan but is internationally focused. I joined up a few weeks back in the hope that I would meet some friendly photographers. I was happy to find that Asoboo has a large and active community of photographers – some professionals, some not, but mad-keen [...]
