I got to catch the beginning of Model Train Wreck’s excellent set on Friday night at the Cupid Bar in Pt Chev, Auckland. They are a fun band with great songs and really worth checking out. I always like to research the bands i’m going to be photoing and i discovered an earlier album of theirs on Spotify which really enjoyed. I love recognising music while photoing a band so i was delighted they played some tracks from that album at […]
I had huge amounts of fun on Tuesday night photoing the Taite Music Prize for the organisers. I love live music and the creativity of New Zealand musicians so it was great to be able to capture the celebrations! Here are a few of my shots from the evening
I photoed Halsey with support from Kehlani for Getty Images this week.

James Blunt brought fun and music to Spark Arena recently. I was lucky enough to photo the show for Getty Images
I had great fun at the Auckland City Limits festival earlier this month. Tons of bands and a great atmosphere. You can see the full set of images over at Getty Images here Here are a few shots from the day !
I had the massive pleasure of photoing Robbie Williams at Spark Arena. Robbie was my first arena concert a couple of year’s back so i knew it would be a fun concert to shoot. And, as expected, Robbie didn’t disappoint. It was the usual first three songs, no flash, but during this time Robbie was being Robbie all over the stage, hugging members of the audience, dancing with his dancers, posing for the photographers etc. These photos were taken for […]
