I always enjoy shooting architectural jobs, my wife and I are planning to build and it’s great to get lots of new ideas. This house was a Fowler Home close to Arrowtown. The shoot is in the latest magazine and was shot a few weeks ago.
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.
I did this shoot with Bob Robertson of Infinity for Property Investor Magazine a few weeks back. We had tried to fit it in earlier but due to both mine and Bob’s schedules being pretty full it took awhile to lock in a date. The whole shoot was done in less than 15 minutes and we got a great selection of shots inside and outside of the Infinity building in Wanaka.
I have shot for Glassvice a couple of times, its a cool company making framless glass solutions for private homes and commercial buildings. The first shots are from Surreal bar in Queenstown and the others from the new Central Lakes Trust Building in Cromwell.
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!
