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. [...]
Bob and Di have survived kids, cancer and strokes with a resilience to be admired. Great people, they like to laugh a lot. I think that’s their secret.
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 [...]
Anita asked me to try to capture some portraits of her very anti-photo parents when they were up here for a brief holiday recently. She and her siblings had almost no pictures of them! I happily obliged and managed to get the busy couple to stay still long enough to grab a handful of lovely [...]
Gorgeous Lola Star. The daughter of a friend of mine.
Been hanging out with my brother and his kids a bit lately. I do adore these kids.
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Good news! The pictures I took for my friends Yoko and Nana at Mint Salon for Snip Magazine will be published in a 2 page spread next month. We did the shoot last weekend in a little office in Ebisu, and had a lot of collaborative fun setting up the lighting, backdrops and individual shoots. [...]
Junko is a make-up artist, based at Mint Hair & Make-up Salon in Ebisu. She called me last week to ask if I’d be interested in doing a shoot for a young Polish model, Jakub. I happily agreed and we made a plan. She would do his make-up and Misaki (Mint) would do his hair, then [...]
