What makes my job most interesting is that I am fortunate enough to have a range of diversity in my photographic briefs and subjects. I find the contrasts between working on personal projects, shooting editorial assignments and photographing advertising campaigns to be perfect for me.
Literally, one day I can be alone with just my camera, searching for a perfect moment to capture; and the next day I can be on a set with lighting equipment, assistants, models, clients, creatives, stylists and producers trying to manufacture a perfect moment to capture. This variety in my life and in my work helps keep me challenged and inspired.
So, when I was recently approached to shoot a style feature for the Park Hotel Group's in-house fashion, lifestyle and travel magazine, I happily agreed.
My brief was to photograph an indoor/outdoor, location-based fashion spread that mimicked the look and feel of natural light.
So, in late-February, the art director, my assistant and myself -- along with the beautiful model and accompanied by a fantastic group of stylists -- descended on the Park Hotel Clarke Quay for a day of fashion photography.

The results of the shoot are here, and appear on the cover and across six pages inside the Summer 2011 edition of the Park Hotel Group's Sparkle magazine.
The photographs look great, and I am very thankful to the talented team of people who provided their expertise and worked very hard alongside me to achieve this result.
