WPPI Awards Accolade of Excellence

The WPPI is held in Las Vegas every year and is recognized as the number one competition for wedding photographers in the world and for commercial photographers alike. The prints need to be printed to the highest standard, mounted and shipped to Las Vegas for the judging.

The 2 prints were in the Advertising/ Fashion category for an image shot for a worldwide campaign commissioned by Interbrand. This image was also ranked in the top 15 of the best advertising/fashion images in the International Loupe Awards earlier this year.

My wedding image in the bride or groom alone category is shot here in Wanaka and is one of my favourites from last year.

7 International Loupe Awards 2011

Photographers from over 90 countries entered this years prestigious International Loupe Awards , so It felt great to take home 7 Awards!  Last year I got a Loupe award for a heli wedding in Queenstown and i’m proud to say that I scored  high with my weddings again, but this year I also won awards for my commercial work. Here are two of my favorites. The first commercial/fashion award is of local model Charlotte Gardiner with makeup by the very talented Gena Bagley. The Second shot “The running girl” was for a worldwide campaign for a client of ad agency Interbrand. Feels good to get recognition for all the hard work and big thanks to all my clients – weddings couples and corporates!

6 NZIPP IRIS AWARDS 2011

I am thrilled with my latest win at this years Iris Awards in Rotorua. The Iris Awards are the most prestigious awards in New Zealand. The images are judged during 3 days by national and international top photographers.

I’ve won 6 awards this year in the Wedding,Commercial and Travel Categories.

It’s an amazing feeling to get awards and I’m so proud of them all, but this year it was especially nice to get recognition for the commercial and advertising work I do.

I also received the honor of becoming an associate member of NZIPP for the awards i have won during the last 3 years.

Product Photography for Wanaka Living

Another great shoot for the Wanaka Living product range. Its nice to mix up the wedding season with lots of commercial jobs. It helps getting new ideas and keeping the mind fresh.

We shot it at Release lodge in Wanaka. A great location and architecturally perfect for the Wanaka Living range

I have been working with them since the start so have a look at their website for the whole product range

Wanaka Living

Check out Release lodge, a great place to stay when you are down in Wanaka. They are also great clients of mine.

Contact Energy – Rock gas shoot

I was working with Lisa Lyford from Insight Consultants in Wellington on the rebranding on Rock gas and shot the first one in Alexandra. Its great  working on projects with agencies like Insight:) it’s even better when they have the option to view their site to the tunes of Swedish death metal!
