BMXpress issue #52

BMXpress arrived air freighted in the post today from Oz. Glad too because my feature coverage from the North Island BMX titles held in cambridge over Labour weekend..some time ago I know. I've got 5 pages in there which is a step up from my last contribution, next story will be from the National titles in Franklin District Auckland over Easter where I'm looking forward to shooting Kurt Pickard, Rico,Nicole Wright and Marc Willers. On the subject of Marc Willers I last seen him recently tearing up MereMere drag way in his unmistakable green beast NIZOLA at the Rotary Nationals. He also has a half page shot of him in the same issue leading extremely fast American rider Mike Day from UCI round in S.A. Go team KIWI. Look out for this cover at all good news agents near you.

SCARTT 500

SCARTT 500 and we had one for the first time in NZ recently. Yep we got the call a few weeks back to start thinking about where to set this cool exciting new product for a branding image that would speak to the farming community of NZ. Well we've been dealing with V-Moto for a while now the parent company of the new side by side 500 cc SCARTT which is so new that land transport havn't got a classification for it yet. I took this puppy for a spin a little after the shoot at nightfall headlight blazing and let it rip along a west coast beach whoa, loved every second of it, felt like a kid in a candy store positively brimming:)))

Nice! Cheers V-Moto for the opportunity to be part of an amazing revolution in the recreational industry well thats how it is for me, farmers may disagree on the usage.

PPP

Proximity Pulse is cool, so I wanted to make a cool image for their posse. So I did, well its a recci really but I learnt a few things from it, and when I do it for real I have a sound idea for how to approach it....was kinda going for the ''ohh ahh'' fruju ad from the 80's minus the yacht, ha ha. Enjoy.

Culture outside a yougurt pot?

This weekend I was asked to make portraits of NZ Trio as the costumes were designed by Helen Talbot. Consisting of Violinist Justine Cormack, cellist Ashley Brown and pianist Sarah Watkins who first joined forces in 2002 and were Ensemble in Residence at The University of Auckland from 2004-2009.

Didn't have as long as I would of liked and made these images rather quickly in the town hall concert chamber after the performance which was mind gaping btw..a must experience, Anais was super charged after!!
