Another product shoot for Wanaka Living. We shot around 10 products with a few different set ups. This is for the new catalougue and marketing material for magazines and tradeshows.
Mantells in Wanaka is an amazing house, it recently won architectural awards and it is really one of a kind. The height inside together with the unique furniture and the use of space is what it makes it so different. It has a nice indoor and outdoor flow with big windows and a light colours.
I shot this Wanaka house for Gary Todd awhile back and its now featured in the latest Trends Outdoor magazine. I worked close with Gary to get the photos he wanted. Its great when you can work together with the architect to showcase and work with the features and ideas he had when he designed the house.
I have been shooting new images for AWS Legal, including shots of the latest addition to the AWS Wanaka Branch, Mike Toepfer. We did a few different location shots and a few studio shots before heading out and taking some casual shots with a road bike. Mike is really in to road biking but his bike hadn’t arrived for the shoot, so Racers Edge was very helpful and set us up with a great bike so we could get the shot done.
I shot the cover and feature of Nick Mills for Young Country Magazine about a month ago and it was great fun. We ended up shooting a lot of different stuff and Nick told me all about how the work is done at Rippon. Another fun thing is that Nick was a member of the NZ freestyle team at the same time as i was in the Swedish National team so we have trained and competed against each other in the World cup and Europa cup.
I recieved another qualification for having commercial work of highest standard. It’s a very important qualification to gain and I am now the only photographer in Otago to have both a Commercial and Wedding qualification. Not only do I constantly provide top imagery I can now also give my clients the comfort of knowing that I am the only photographer on the South Island to have the qualifications and belonging to both NZIPP and AIPA.
It’s always great fun to shoot for DF-A, you never know what to expect when you are working with animals! We did the images for their new catalogue and for marketing at Tradeshows in the US.

This was a great job, we had a crew of 4 to set up this shoot. We started early in the morning and spent 2 hours to get everything ready for when the natural light was right. The sun burned the cloud layer off and we got clear blue sky and a calm lake. This shoot was done as a cover shot and we did several product set ups for different purposes such as trade shows and point of sale.
A very early start out on Ruby Island, it was freezing and we had to get two leather sofas, chest, rugs, speakers… to the far end of Ruby Island! We had lots of hands to help out so I could concentrate to get the set up right. We wanted the sun to be on the lower side so it wouldn’t overpower too much so we had a deadline to get the shot done. To get all the furniture and equipment up there was the most time consuming thing, the actual shoot was done in 20 minutes.
I got a call from Mike Sowman from Sowman designs to ask if I could shoot this house and especially the details of the cladding on a very short deadline. I moved some jobs and managed to get an hour of sun and fitted it in.
