Photographer for V Shapeshifter Twin Galaxies NZ Tour

V energy recently sent me to take photos on the Shapeshifter tour. Music, venues, people beautiful different towns of New Zealand...A lot of amazing moments.

First thing that struck me was the amount of technology, gadgets and various tech bits that goes into making the perfect performance sound. Racks and racks of equipment and the wizards that man it know just what every tweak and turn of every knob will do. Its like they are putting together a giant puzzle that results in totally overwhelming experience every time.

Crowds were treated and charged with wave after wave of multi forming multi layered soundscapes cohesively brought together by the power of one. Love beauty and energy in all its various forms - Shapeshifter

AUT took my photography to new heights

MEN camp is all about supporting young boys in todays society. AUT is doing a good job at connecting with teenagers which of course is not that easy. So its best to tie them up and elevate them. I had to push myself, I had to get myself to new heights also was especially interesting to see my assistant balancing light modifiers 30 meters above the ground. Magic times.

Spiritual moment with Matt Walker in Rotorua

Took my kid to Rotorua for a weekend. Matt Walker found out I was heading down and so we decided to hook up and shoot. We had been meaning to get some shots together for Leatt NZ for some time now. Everything came together in a magical few moments and makes me realize what a wonderful country we live in where you can ride and create these images in the middle of winter. Make a shout out to all those supporters who came out on the hill to help out.

Fashion&BMX

I've been bored with the NZ fashion scene for quite some time now especially after the all time low point at the last NZ fashion week with Pamela Anderson running around the catwalk half wasted naked...Fashion really, please?

Funny enough REMIX out of all NZ titles lured me back into it. So BMX it is.

Below, Kurt Pickard NZ BMX champion for fashion/profile shoot for REMIX. looking thru the whole issue I'm suprisingly proud of being part of it. Well done Team REMIX:Tim, Tina, Carl & Co very nice issue.

Ilabb Sanctuary Open Day MX

Ilabb are creators of custom designs and decals for bikes boards and other stuff thats cool. Nice guys too with a mini ramp and old skool pinball in their office.

As clever and progressive kids they found a fun way to give back to the supporters and clients - coaching session riding MX at a private location.

It was great to be there, thanks guys.

Now here is a portrait of the owner of the farm we rode at, he can teach you a lesson or two about old skool.

New Crupi USA BMX Print Ad

Shread! is the word Kurt Pickard, BMX champion would use to describe something thats making a difference, that he would regard as hot and now.

I believe this resulting new Crupi BMX Ad featuring Kurt's incredible riding talents and my photography is the result of a symbiotic relationship between camera and subject. The 'perfect combination' between talent, skill, determination, passion and art.

Full credit also goes out also to the Crupi designer that has completely 'got' the image and matched it with graphical content which fully suits the feel and look , I think somehow that he got excited!

Pros and cons of a BMX take over

Its crazy when something takes over your life so much. BMX has pretty much done that to me over this past 2 months. It even claimed the whole new section on my website called surprise surprise BMX! Under the Strong influence of current and future Olympians I'm getting back into BMX racing after a 10 year break!

I'm sure there have been other things... yes! a fashion story for REMIX oh actually that featured a BMX athlete too. My girlfriend gets upset when I turn up to the dinner table with my new BMX helmet on and is not over the moon with a BMX bike in the bedroom. What's wrong with her?

Anyway, to smooth thing over and keep her a little happy with me, I take photos of sunsets from my deck. Here here
