After a few weeks of intense storms, floods, wind etc it has been a great chance to do some seaside fossicking at the local beaches. I love a good storm out at sea and it washes in so many treasures that are great for the studio prop collection. The local beaches are littered with...

Square bills are back in fashion. Step back intime and the square bill design was believed to be invented by Fred Young of Big-O fame in the 1960s. Over the past 50 years or so its had many reinventions, until now where the square looks like it’s here or the long haul. For Australians...

Lots of water shots at the moment mainly because I have some clients that want these styles of images. It takes a lot to setup and pull down each time, so best the knock over a pile of images and experiment while I’m at it. I was requested to do some drop down images...

  Anchovies are one of those foods that you either love or hate, I’ve always had a love for their quite pungent taste. Fossicking through antique stores you often come across some real gems, and this little ceramic container for anchovy paste had me intrigued. Being a “fishy” item, it had to be mine,...

Growing up in a fly fishing family, one of the earliest things I learnt about fishing is always “match the hatch’. This terminology dates back to the early times of trout fly fishing and no matter what fishing situation or target species be it from trout to marlin, replicating the local or prevalent food...

The past few months have been a bit hectic with so many images of products for spring catalogues and websites, so much so that I’ve had little time to play and be creative. This morning was different, some time to play and combine the fruits of my labour from the garden with some beautiful...

Early spring last year I received some of the first pre-production samples of the new upcoming Duo Ryuki Spearhead 50S Takumi’s to photograph for the 25th Anniversary Duo International Catalogue. Only recently I’ve finally got my hands on a few production samples, the only difference is that these ones have the names printed on...

Glass is difficult enough to capture, but a glass circular bowl is a real challenge. A three-light setup, soft box from above, reflector at 45 degrees to the front and a soft box directly behind. Plus a few home-made half-moon shaped gobos to add a little bit of an edge to the glass. The...

After shooting about 50 images of the Duo Realis Popper, one thing that is revealed is the amount of times that the lure is captured upside down. In fact, nearly half the images show the popper this way and the hooks pointing skywards, maybe this is a good explanation why so many fish don’t...
