I’ve been doing a lot of homework on all the bits and pieces I’m going to need for my video kit and I just got a very interesting email from a woman at Zacuto. Zacuto’s been doing some tests on …

In response to Philip Bloom’s assessment of the D800 I asked the man behind ‘Joy Ride’, shot entirely on a series of D800s, for his take on the camera. He essentially said Philip Bloom was wrong. Sandro said there was …

I went to the Philip Bloom workshop here in Melbourne Yesterday and learnt lots of interesting stuff including the fact that he won’t be using the Nikon D800 to shoot video. He says the 36mp sensor is simply too big …

Well, sort of…the good people at Childwise have asked me to be one of their ambassadors and help promote their great work. It absolutely staggers me that one in five Australian children will be sexually abused, more often than not …

A big thank you to the guys at Australian Digital Photography, in particular Editor Greg Barton, who’s dedicated way too many pages to a photographer of my ilk in his great magazine. Anyway, if you’re at all interested in reading …

Since I exhibited these images a few years ago I’ve had lots of people visit the Kill City page on my website and so I thought I’d try to re-create what the exhibition space was like. I say ‘try’ because …

Well, here it is! Had an article on Tom Elliott published in Men’s Style this month. It’s in the Man On The Move section which Tom certainly is. You’ll no doubt see and hear plenty more of him in the …

I also had this article in the Women’s Weekly published in this month’s edition as well. If you get the chance to have a read, please do. It’s a sad but uplifting story of a man who loses his wife to …
