The backyard was special this morning with a pod of Orca cruising by.  Got a message and heads up from my friend and artist Jason O’Hara  who knows I get very excited (possibly too excited) about Orca. Rushed down with my kids for some quality David Attenborough time. Someone even got a shot of me dangling my toes in the water here.

I had the pleasure of photographing New Zealand author Elizabeth Knox on Wednesday for Victoria University Press.

Her new novel ‘Wake’ is being released soon and I read it before the shoot for a bit of background.  It’s a horror filled supernatural and science fiction thriller (quite the description huh!) so we tried to capture a somewhat mystical element with this shoot.

By the way, buy the book, its a wonderful read!

Green shoots appear amongst the burnt gorse remnants.

Heres a couple of contrasting images from the massive storm that absolutely battered Wellington last week. Note the symbolically shredded windsock in the first image!

A shoot last week for Greater Wellington Council at Whitirea Park. Thanks to Ria and Barry and their two kids.
