A lot of dancing going on…
Recently I have been doing a lot of shooting at a great club in Bali, Hu’u Bar, focusing on the DJs that play there. I am planning a proper post about recent developments and news, as well the ins-and-outs of shooting in clubs like this but in the meantime, I just thought I would share [...]
2013 Updates
First of all, a belated ‘Happy New Year’ to all my visitors! I hope 2013 will be suitably busy and successful for all… I have been a little quiet here over the last few months and missed out on writing my normal ‘Best of…’ post in December – in my defence, I was wrapped up [...]
Thank you to my contributors and supporters…

Oddly enough the vast majority where black and white conversions and so I've decided to [...]

A cameraman once again…
In the middle of November I found myself doing something I haven't done for a long time – setting up a tripod, fitting a video camera and thinking about sound as well as lighting and framing. For the first time in several years I was shooting video again, and on top of that, getting back [...]
