I first heard him play jazz standards with his equally talented brother Elie at the Fridge concert series over a year ago was hooked. I’ve subsequently photographed him playing his regular gig at [...]

The use of negative space is an often overlooked element of composition. I consider it the most important one, however, and believe that if you can become aware of negative space you will drastically improve your image composition. In our day-to-day life we generally don’t pay any amount of concentrated attention tothe objects that surround us. We [...]

I was thrilled earlier this year to be commissioned by Sharmila Dance to cover their incredible Dance Gala at DUCTAC. It was a fantastic variety show for lovers of dance and an exciting introduction for newcomers to all kinds of styles through street, salsa, classical ballet, contemporary and modern dance. The vibrant energy and attitude [...]

Recent wedding shoot with the lovely Arina and her husband Tony, such a fun couple! Arina’s father in law was not impressed with her choice of cake decor which resulted in some fun photos! There was dancing and lots of merriment at the Marina Yatch Club and it was great to be a part of [...]

A band shoot for the group Casual Jazz represented by The Fridge. I found this incredible abandoned park which was overgrown, dusty and unkempt. What a gem! With the sun setting and casting a lovely golden light it was a pleasure shooting this awesome band. You wouldn’t guess this was shot in Dubai! There was [...]

Finally some shots from the recent artists shoots one for the Fridge! We had a fun time with four harps in one studio… quite the challenge! The Fabulous Helga Bosman handled the hair beautifully.

I was commissioned to shoot the ever eccentric Danish folk singer Michael Love Rexen (one half of the brains behind Fridge favourites A Key Is A Key) for the Fridge last year and we had an awesome time out in the sun experimenting with capturing Michael falling into the pool… shaking off water in the [...]

Not only as inspiration for those landscape photography enthusiasts out there, but for anyone with an interest or passion for the art of black and white photography. His incredible landscape photographs [...]

Some of my recent work includes a maternity shoot for Mouna Abassy and her gorgeous family. We had a fun two hours of posing with the cute little man – impressive work for a new born! I am particularly enamoured with the shot of grandpa with his grandchild it captures such a feeling of pride [...]

“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.” – George Eastman Photography is capturing light, therefore, light is our medium, as a sculptors medium is clay. Without light there is no image, without an [...]

I had the pleasure of shooting the Afif Jazz Quartet at the Blue Bar for the Fridge last weekend . It wasn’t an easy shoot as the lighting conditions are a bit dire at the venue, but it was rewarding to capture these awesome Dubai based musicians performing and enjoying their music. A few selected [...]
