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!

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.

Check out these shots from the Minaret shoot last week. Nick from Alpine Helicopters was flying and Matt took some nice shots of me in action. We got some amazing images of the lodge in the afternoon, evening and then during the night with the light of the full moon. I will get a full post up soon when the editing is done.

I did this shoot a few weeks back. I was picked up by Alpine Helicopters and flown up to the camp together with Australian journalist Tricia Welsh to cover a feature for The Sydney Morning Herald. The article is about the camp and all the activities you can do with them and just how amazing they have made it up there.
5 star accommodation, scenery and food prepared by Leungo Lippe former chef and founder of Botswana Butchery it just cant get any better.
The article also gives Lake Wanaka a great write up, covering Rippon vineyard, our museums and events we have together with amazing tracks, fishing and boating
