I’m not sure what it is about this photo but I absolutely love it. It’s a picture taken of me by Eiko. Maybe it’s the quintessential New Zealand farm shirt that I’m wearing or the cross-like shadow and light over the checks that I like… Let me know if I’m alone on liking this shot,...

Fujifilm natura 1600 rocks
Here’s some shots taken on Fuji Natura 1600 film. I shot this during the day and exposed it at ISO 400. The great thing about Fuji film is that it has really great latitude. I also used a neutral density filter so I could shoot wide open at f/1.1 some of the time. You can...
the weekend is here
Hope you have a great weekend and for those of you in the southern hemisphere I hope you’re making the most of the sun. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film.
Tokyo Design Week 2009
I have exhibited some of my design work at the previous two Tokyo Design Week’s, but this year I was just a visitor with a camera catching up with friends. We also checked out Design Tide where my good friend Koichi Okamoto from Kyouei Design was showing his amazing chair. So here’s a handful of...
Portrait Session – Maasa
Today I had another amazing portrait session with Maasa. You may remember her from an earlier shoot I did with Grant from New Zealand. The films are being developed and scanned and I’ll get them back in a couple of weeks. Here are a few Hasselblad polaroids from today. Hasselblad 500cm, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm...
Lights, shadows, action
Still posting scans from the last few rolls, quite an eclectic mix of photos which is hopefully keeping it fresh. Tomorrow I have a photo shoot in Shinjuku which I am really looking forward to. I will be taking along the Hasselblad, Contax, and Leicas to see what we can do. I’ll also be shooting...
I wish the weather was still like this
I don’t know where to begin in describing this photo. It was one of those moments when a magical scene unfolded with the most amazing light. Snapping this shot I wasn’t too sure if I had nailed the focus or not. Shooting with medium format at f/2 is often a real challenge so when I...
The Dynamic Duo
We were messing around the other day to see what we could do with some cool shadows from the trees. We had fun trying to compose these shots as passers-by watched us like we were crazy. I love the intense looks in these portraits, quite different to our usual selves! Jason (left) Eiko (right). Contax...
More Daikanyama
A few more photos from my random walk through the side streets of fashionable Daikanyama. I’ve changed the format of the photo sizes so let me know if it bothers you. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film.
Places like these
I’m going to really miss photographing around areas like this. These were taken in Daikanyama, Tokyo, Japan. This area is quite well known for it’s great cafe’s and shopping. It’s a higher class area so it was fun to roam the back streets and find some really interesting houses and stores. I’ll be posting more...
