          Fishing rods are one of the hardest items I do to get perfect, eliminating reflection, shadows, highlights etc on slim subjects is probably the hardest part with multiple colours, metals, cork or eva etc make it even more challenging. I began shooting them during film days before digital, my...

Homegrown to Ocean to Plate

Dedicating time to growing, preparing and preserving all your own fruit, herbs and spices to last a whole year takes dedication and plenty of time, but it’s so satisfying in the end.

INKED SEA FALCON SLOW SQUID

By No comment
Ink dripping out of the Sea Falcon Slow Squid was a one chance to get it right as if it didn’t work there would be a bit of cleaning up for no result. Simple setup with two lights, few reflectors and a really old school style background thanks to a Colorama Polyurethane Graduated Blue...

          Fishing reels are always challenging especially with so many tones and materials that all reflect light differently, but add the colour red to them and it even gets more challenging. Reds are on of those colors that never look right, most camera sensors seem to struggle with red tones....

      Since their introduction at the turn of the century, I’ve shot so many Saltiga rods, from in the studio to in the field in various countries. The surf series has been one of the most advanced surf rods available, incredible strength and power yet amazingly light. The combination of a slim...

From the release of the very first Daiwa Emeraldas in the early 2000’s I’ve shot every variation and model of Daiwa’s Eging range for catalogues and promotion Emeraldas reels have always been one of my favourites, not just because I love eging, but because they always feature that beautiful “tiffany” or emeraldas turquoise color....
