The Project Archive
This portfolio archive is set out as a series of posts, documenting some of my work for 10 years from 2010 to 2020.
A Pinnacle Season in My Snowboarding Career
After reading that title, you might be thinking Olympics or X-Games, or some other equivalent event, but no... My competitive abilities never reached that far. I did get to stand on the podium next to Terje Håkonsen though! The 2015 Banked Slalom at Treble Cone was...
Aerial Panos with 360nz
Over at 360 New Zealand Ltd. we've been working hard to combine our aerial imagery services with our 360 degree virtual tours. And voila... Your browser does not support iframes. Watch this space for a whole lot more to come on this exciting new product!
Three New Websites for Niseko Academy
March 2015 saw the end of a five year period working with Niseko Academy as a Snowboard Trainer, Guide and their Communications Manager. Fortunately, my background knowledge and experience of the company and their products has allowed me to stay consulting for the...
A Year of Time in Wanaka: The Finished Project!
I love shooting time lapse! There's something about the process of it that feels super creative. This project was a completely self-funded passion project. Read more about it at our 360nz site or just watch it here...
Editorial Photography for “Say Yes To Adventure” Magazine
It's been a few years since I've had shots published in print - ahhh, the dreaded world of web has been taking over. During a snowboarding trip in Japan last year, riding with two of my favourite cohorts Richie Johnston and Abby Peterson, I snapped a couple of rather...
End of an Era
My era of working with Niseko Academy is at an end, however my connections with Japan and Niseko are still alive and kicking! It all began back in 2010, whilst floating around Hokkaido, finishing off the Snow-search Japan guidebook; I met and begun working with Brian...
12 Great Months – 12 Favourite Photos
The past 12 months have been FULL-ON! From Japan to NZ and back to Japan again, the melting pot of work was as varied as always, if not more so. My year included re-working our virtual tour systems for 360queenstown-wanaka, the short stint of guiding and coaching with...
Video Series for SBINZ
This past winter, myself (representing 360) and a number of selected members of the SBINZ Examining Staff were commissioned to create a new demonstration video series for Snowboard Instruction New Zealand. Filmed across the majority of the winter season, this project...
Representing New Zealand in Argentina
This past New Zealand winter I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of six representatives from Snowboard Instruction New Zealand to go to Interski in Argentina, September 2015. Over the next year, on the build-up to the event, I'll be working closely with the...
Quick graphics work for TEDxWanaka
TEDx is coming to Wanaka for the first time! TED is a nonprofit organisation devoted to ‘ideas worth spreading’. Started as a four-day conference in California in 1984, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. If you haven't heard...
360 Panorama of Autumn Colours in Wanaka
Every month or so I take a new 360 panorama that I'm rather proud of. Right now it's this one... Autumn is such an amazing time of year to shoot in Wanaka. I've been thinking about this pano for a while - I actually drive past this spot every single day. But I've also...
Creative Panoramas; red-zoned in Christchurch
When most of the 360 panoramas you shoot are "factual" panos, purposely shot to represent a business or to provide viewers with information about an area, your creativity behind the tends to become a little sedated after a while. My own pano creativity has been...
Japan Road Trip
Taking a trip to snowboard again at the old haunts from my Snow-search Japan writing days has been well-etched in my mind for the past few years. At the end of my rather compressed season in Hokkaido, Japan this year I managed to squeeze in a week-long road trip in...
12 hours in Singapore!
En-route back to NZ from South Africa last week I managed to squeeze in a short stopover in Singapore. When I say stopover, there wasn't really much "over" about it. Really it was 12 crazy jam-packed hours exploring the delights of this wonderful city. This is my 12...
Hanging with the lions!
While on a short trip to South Africa, I had the opportunity to visit The Boskoppie Lion and Tiger Reserve. This is not a zoo, it's a reserve! Space is extensive and many of the fully-grown cats are slowly introduced back in to the wild when possible. Boskoppie...
