Recent projects

Below is a selection of past photography and videography projects that I’ve had the pleasure of working on.

Looking for information about my photography and videography services? Check out my portfolio pages:

As a commercial photographer, I work with a diverse client base - including small businesses, architects and interior designers, builders, suppliers and homeowners.

No two shoots are the same, and I enjoy the challenge of shooting new spaces and tackling new projects every week.

If you can’t find an example that fits the kind of thing you’re looking for, get in touch and I’ll be happy to share some specific examples of similar work.

In addition to my commercial work I’m also a keen traveller, and have created several photographic series from my travels across the globe.

Some examples of these can be found below, and many of my best images can be found on my print store.

A State of the Art Community Centre in Westgate

 

Te Manawa Community Facility

Architect: Warren and Mahoney

Location: Westgate, Auckland

Within a stone’s throw from the Northwest Shopping Centre, the recently opened Te Manawa is one of the newest community centres for Auckland Council. It’s a fantastic space architecturally both inside and out.

My second-shooter Charlotte and I were lucky enough to be granted access to the space to capture a series of images, starting at the crack of dawn so that we could get that stunning early morning glow.

Special thanks to the amazing team members at Te Manawa who helped us to make the shoot possible.

Grand Landscaping in Remuera

 
Residential project portfolio photography

There are a lot of small details that go into making a build great.

The textures, the form, and the final details. In this case, a spectacularly landscaped garden embellished with pavers by Jagas Paving Ltd.

We recently had the opportunity to work with the team at Jagas to create a brand video showcasing who they are and what they do for their clients.

As a part of crafting this video, we were able to photograph a great example of their hard work in action at this beautiful Remuera home..

With a combination of an interview with the owner of Jagas, some vibrant footage from their showroom, and a collection of stunning shots from the home, this video does a great job of showing who Jagas are as a team and what they can achieve.

The Striking Architecture of Minakami, Japan

Located in Gunma Prefecture, Minakami is a small and picturesque town in Japan.

Whilst travelling there recently, I was drawn to several of the abandoned hotels throughout the town. There’s little information on these hotels, but they sit proudly facing on to opposite banks of the Tone River.

The Vic Theatre, Devonport

As an ongoing personal project, I’ve been photographing many of the historic buildings around the village of Devonport in Auckland.

One of the more notable buildings is the famous Vic Theatre & Cinema at the northern end of the village - a longstanding part of the Devonport community and my local cinema as a kid.

The Vic were kind enough to let us document the space for our series, and we’re thrilled with the shots. Quite a nice challenge given the dark spaces and very precise lighting, but a rewarding challenge.

Bayleys Realty Group, Auckland

Bayleys Realty Group recently moved their head office into Bayleys House, their new home on Gaunt Street.

The morning of the move in, with the space finally complete, we were asked to come in before any of the team arrived and capture their new space, from the building itself to the spectacular interior. With perfectly clean work areas, and every space untouched, it was the perfect time to get it looking its best.

Launch Bay Open Day, Hobsonville Point

With the Hobsonville Point development sprinting towards completion, more and more regularly there are open days to announce a new section.

With a selection of heritage homes on the cliff face up for sale along side brand new builds, the Launch Bay area is set to be one of the more unique pockets of Hobsonville Point.

Development company, Winton, and Bayleys, the sales team for the project, asked us to come along and capture their launch event, where they opened the doors to their newest show home and the heritage buildings on the site.

With a mix of architectural shots to show off the potential of the development, and event style shots to show off the atmosphere, the images we captured really give you an idea of what the Launch Bay area will feel like when it’s all done.

The Grove - Sylvia Park’s New Dining Precinct

Sylvia Park is growing, expanding their spaces to include more dining, more shopping and now commercial space as well.

We recently shot ‘The Grove’, Sylvia Park’s newest dining precinct, as part of a collection of marketing imagery for a client of ours. The design of the space has been done incredibly well, making our job photographing it that much easier. Every angle you approach it from has interest to it, and it looked particularly great at twilight.

Go check it out the next time you’re down there!

Sale St Facades, Auckland Central

This stunning construction in Sale Street is the newest piece of the skyline to admire while brunching up a storm at the nearby Cityworks Depot.

Arriving to shoot it the week construction was wrapping up, we got the first look through and it was completely worth it. With a clean, modern design, it is a sleek and elegant space both inside and out.

Client: King Facade International
