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. [...]
Akiko Otao is a rising opera star based in Tokyo. I was in Tokyo for a few days last week buying some new lenses and we got together for a quick late afternoon shoot in a gorgeous little park in Hiro.
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 [...]

Catrin and Philip were married on a crazy windy afternoon in October, in front of an intimate crowd of their best friends and family members. It was so very special. Exquisitely choreographed, beautifully executed, full of thoughtfully subtle details and with a heavy focus on the people most important to the couple – most of [...]
Toneisha Phillips: Being hearing impaired only encouraged this bubbly young student to learn the piano and give everything a go. The Cairns Regional Council Community Liason *DOUGLAS* (LOCAL!) Branch has a pretty good track record of listening to and supporting the local community. A couple of weeks ago, Liz Collyer – the Douglas Region Community [...]

In an effort to get some more “tropical” looking weddings into my portfolio, I’ve started assisting the very lovely and super-talented wedding local photojournalist Lizzy Sawdon at a bunch of weddings this season. Actually, we are also planning to do a portrait exhibition together, with other great local photographers, Ms Ali George and Nanna Soderstrom [...]
Separate to the work I did for the Port Douglas Chamber of Commerce during Port Douglas Carnivale, Events NQ employed me as the photographer for their Longest Lunch event at the Sheraton Mirage Country Club during Carnivale 2009.

As part of my on-going work with the excellent real estate agency Port Douglas Real Estate – I get to go into beautiful homes and photograph them for their publicity packages.

Lara and Eric are a really creative couple, and their 3 kids are these adorable bundles of curiosity and joy. On New Years Eve I peddled my mini-studio over to the other side of Kichijoji and set up in their tatami room for some family portraits. It was such a pleasure, and editing them was [...]
Back in December, before I left Tokyo, I got a flurry of really cool portrait jobs. Sarah is works in the corporate sector and needed some new photo’s that reflected her new look and approach for the wide array of work she was involved with. We called in the very talented Jeanette from StyleSmartSensei to [...]
Dave G is a comedian in Tokyo, and needed some new publicity shots for his work, and for a new book he’s working on. It was a fun day, we got some great shots.
Ashley recently popped the question to Tracey and she, of course, said hell yes! These are some of their engagement photo’s. It was a delight to shoot, they are such great people and I wish them all sorts of joy and passion in their married life.
Jane and Daisuke got married the first time around in Melbourne a year or more ago. When they moved back to Tokyo to be closer to his widowed mother, the Japanese family suggested that a Japanese-style wedding here in Tokyo for them to attend would be a wonderful thing since they weren’t able to make [...]
