WHAT'S NEW
- past, current & future -
It's about time we take photography seriously, and treat it as a hobby.
In this section, I will be sharing events and happenings, as well as new galleries of commisioned and personal works containing images, most of which will be available for purchase. This year so far there are some exciting developments...
- I have recently returned from a follow up shoot to Cambodia and KL where I did some extensive shooting on the ancient temples, Tonle Sap lake and some Monasteries. I met up with renowned American photographer, John McDermott in Siem Reap who will be handling some of my Asian work and we will be collaborating on workshops.
- My two new workshops on Photoshop have been very popular and the 2008 workshops were booked out. ‘Photoshop Inspirations Revealed’ is a one day workshop for beginners or a refresher, while ‘Creative Photoshop Fine Art Techniques’ is a two day hands-on workshop revealing the techniques behind many of my award winning images. Wollaston college is the venue and the first of the 2009 dates are: Sundays Feb 1st , March 8th and 15th for the Inspirations Revealed course and March 21st and 22nd for the two day Fine Arts course.

- The Andalusia, Flamenco, Moors and Tapas tour has recently returned and we enjoyed some amazing experiences from Granada to Seville. Due to a heavy schedule of projects I have next year, I will be unable to run another one in 2009 and will be reviewing a trip for 2010.

- I am over the moon in winning the 2008 AIPP ‘Australian Professional Landscape Photographer of the Year’ in June (and happy to say this is my third win). The 2008 Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPAs) were held in Brisbane and are one of the most important events on the AIPP calendar. Professional photographers from Australia and New Zealand compete for a number of industry awards, which are judged by a panel of their peers. The category was sponsored by Kayell Canson.

- Last year in December, fellow landscape photographer Frank Richardson and I had a great photoshoot in Cambodia with its amazing temples and the Tonle Sap lake. We are going back for another shoot in December this year and hope to offer a tour to this historic and vibrant region in 2009.
- Mentoring and Creative Forums to develop your personal artistic and photographic development to the next level.
