Location photographer. Getting behind the scenes. Showing off the secret, and not so secret, treasures of the world.
Home... what do you love about it?
Home. What do you love about living here?
My new personal project exploring different places, cultures and people. Uniting us in one common thing.
I recently started a new personal project while in Bali. I love meeting people and this gives me an excuse to chat with them.
I also hope that it brings some connection to people from around the world. By getting to know others, realising how different (or in fact, how similar) we are generating better understanding, respect and friendship. Just imagine what that could do?!?!
I keep the question simple - but open. To allow my new friend to answer in a way they feel right. I record their answer by video then scribe (with a little editing) to caption the photo.
As I travel for work and fun, whether it's in my hometown or the other side of the world, I will meet people and ask 'what do you love about living here?'
A project of positivity. Exploration. Love. Humanity.
Getting arty farty...
Switching the brain from commissioned brief driven to creative. Eek.
Occasionally I have the time to think about creating, getting arty. I've done a few exhibitions now, and love the learning curve I get from it.
With my commercial photography, I shoot to a brief. When you sell a destination or company, you can't get too artistic and creative with what you show. It needs to tell the story.
Sometimes I struggle coming out of this mode and into creating mode. It takes a while. And I feel like a complete newbie.
Recently, while resourcing a new personal project, I found some drafts from one of my recent exhibitions. Salty Stories.
I enjoy looking back at my process from first concepts to final pieces... from 'let's put everything in one photo' to simple and soft.
The final 3 images are the exhibition pieces (in order from what I least to most liked).
