The ACC have been working on a new website and they commissioned me to shoot the accompanying imagery for the site (which went live last week at acc.co.nz )

A commercial job for a German power engineering company called Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.

This is father and son Alan and Grant Brown from Sydney over in Wellington servicing the transformers at the Brooklyn substation.

This time some moving images from beautiful Sri Lanka- (you’ll also see the portraits below used in the video as well).

Late one afternoon a couple of weeks ago in the hill country of the Matale District, we stopped at one of the tiny villages set amongst the abundant tea fields. The people had finished work on the tea plantations as well as school for the day and were talking on the roadside, preparing meals in their homes, and the kids were playing.

Went into the studio on Friday to photograph Wellington band Teeth (David Long, Tom Callwood, Anthony Donaldson and Luke Buda).

Have a listen to their awesome debut track here ‘Something has Gone Wrong In My Brain’

This is an ongoing series photographed over the last few months for Victoria University using current students for their handbook guides for prospective students. The layout involved positioning the student on the left side of the page and the right being left free to overlay text.

My dear old dog Evie moved on up to the big kennel in the sky after 15 years of loyal companionship.

Spent an enjoyable morning photographing writer Bill Manhire for Victoria University Press recently. A wet day had kept us inside- but it made for nice soft window light filtering into his Wellington apartment.

Its up and running now showcasing my photography with nice big images- www.grantmaiden.co.nz

This cover page image from the site is of my daughter (10 years old yesterday!) exploring the Patuna Chasm in the Wairarapa.

We went into the studio to shoot these portraits of Bill Nelson for his upcoming book “Memorandum of Understanding”.
