November 2012
Finland's capital city Helsinki is, for good reason, the World Design Capital for 2012. Here are some black and white photos of Helsinki interiors taken while there in August.

August 2012
Lucky to get the opportunity to photograph a group of remarkable new buildings in Zaandam, just north of Amsterdam, including the stunning Inntel Hotel Zaandam.

July 2012
Pointilism, who make 3D visualisations of proposed architectural designs, commissioned me to take some background shots of the Adelaide evening skyline. Which was great, as I got to get up on the top of 400 King William Street, one of my favourite Adelaide buildings, to take this shot, showing a not often seen aspect of the Adelaide CBD.

I enjoyed a commission to photograph Adelaide's northern wetlands - what lovely places these are.

May 2012
Scored a gold and a silver award from the 4 images I entered into the Australian Professional Photography Awards judged in Melbourne this month. Very happy about that - gold awards are pretty hard to come by, requiring "excellence in execution and superb visual communication" See the awarded photos here.

December 2011
I am now official freebie photographer for the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia. Run by volunteers, the Society owns a very valuable collection of historic books, maps and artefacts. The big perk for me is being able to visit and photograph the top level of the amazing Mortlock Wing of the State Library in Adelaide where the collection is housed.

November 2011
State professional photography awards time again - I am now the Commercial Photographer of the Year for South Australia! Six of my photographs were awarded Silver and one was judged Gold with Distinction. Here they are..

August 2011
Lucky to have scored one of the sought-after places in the John Gollings Masterclass at the Ballarat Foto Biennale. Arguably Australia's best and most well known architecture photographer, John was a Creative Director of Australia's exhibit at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale. And he turned out to be a lovely bloke as well. I was delighted by the amount of really useful information and advice he generously delivered. It was a privilege to learn from someone at the peak of his craft.

June 2011
The Australian Professional Photography Awards were judged over 24-26 June in Sydney. Two of the four prints I entered were awarded Silver.

In other news, two of my photographs were awarded Silver in the International Aperture Awards for 2010.
