Band shoot: Casual Jazz
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 [...]
Grand Gala Ballet at the Madinat
So, you’ve seen backstage, now for the actual performance. It was too difficult to narrow down the selection, as there were so many virtuoso moments in the performance that there are a lot of keepers! Enjoy!
Chiaroscuro and the newsletter
I have decided to title my newsletter ‘Chiaroscuro’ so I thought I’d explain a bit about why I’ve chosen this name and what it means. The term is from the Italian and is most often used in the Fine Art realm, specifically in oil painting, but also in etching and sketching. Leonardo Da Vinci was [...]
Mathew Curtis Musicians Portfolio Shoot
This shoot was done some time ago in Abu Dhabi for multi-talented musician Mathew Curtis. I wasn’t able to release the images till now, however. Here are some of his selection from the shoot. They were done with speedlights, one behind and snooted as a back-light, and one diffused from the upper right.
The Fridge Final Concert 2010
The Fridge Concert Series came to a close with a solo guitar performance by Sach Holden. His moving, sometimes dark, sometimes funny, lyrics and his timid charm, winning the audience. I wasn’t able to get as many shots as I would have liked to, but I am so looking forward to January when I will [...]
What your facebook profile photo says about you
I recently held a workshop for Canon Middle East about profile photographs and social media, using their new Ixus range. It was a really fun, interesting day with great participation from the audience and good feedback. I thought I’d write a post on the subject and offer some advice on profile photography for social media [...]
DUCTAC Open Day Fun Photo Shoot
DUCTAC, the venue where I hold the majority of my workshops, have a yearly event celebrating their anniversary and to spread the word about the wonderful facilities, shows and workshops they have on offer. This year I decided to set up a mini studio in the gallery area and let people stop and have a [...]
DUCTAC Open Day!
I will have a mini studio set up at DUCTAC Open Day tomorrow, Friday the 5th Nov. Come along to find out about the Into to Digital Photography Workshop and have a fun, funky, free portrait taken!
Haley Kallenberg at the Fridge
I was completely blown away by Haley Kallenberg’s performance, her free-wheeling, experimental, improvisational spontaneous composition is very compelling. She plays as if the instrument were an extension of her body, closing her eyes and rocking back and forth as she variously strikes or softly strokes the keys. The pieces she played were charged with emotion [...]
Headshot Tips
Performers’ Headshots Great, professional quality headshots are a vital part of any performer’s career, whether a musician, dancer, singer, actor, band, comedian, radio personality or TV presenter. They can determine whether or not you get that much desired job or gig. Headshots are also needed by business-people, executives and business owners for their websites and [...]
Little Big Band at the Fridge
Wow! What an evening. It was like being transported back to varsity days when I used to follow the Rhodes Big Band around in adoration. The Abu Dhabi big band (from which the Little Big Band comes) must be incredible, judging by the performance of their members last night. Most of them are teachers, so [...]
Next Workshop Dates Set

The next Intro to Digital Photography workshop dates have been set to start on the 19th November 2010 at the Magrudy’s Centre for Education in Jumeirah 1, please [...]
Fridge Concert: Afif Brothers feat. Georges Kassis
At the Fridge last week in Jazz heaven with this excellent band, Rony & Elie Afif with visiting Lebanese pianist Georges Kassis. I was enjoying the music too much to remember to take pictures, but managed to get a few shots. Love jazz shots in black and white. A bit of flare fro the stage [...]
Musician Profile Shoot
I always love working with musicians and performers! I really enjoyed this shoot with Jonathan the other day. It was done in his apartment, though you’d never guess! I went with some simple back-lighting which gave his profile that lovely outline. It also created some nice highlights on the black piano keys and the shadows [...]
Corporate Portrait Shoot
Shooting an executive on a working day in his/her working environment, in between meetings, has to be the one of the most difficult and daunting jobs around. Sure, it’s just a quick portrait, what could be do hard? Just, that, it’s a” quick” portrait if you’re lucky, it’s a frantic 5 minutes of trying to [...]
Still Life with Leaves
Just experimenting with lighting a single snooted speedlight to dramatically light this dried leaf I found. Looking for interesting compositions from the one subject, I used a piece of glass to get the reflection, which translates quite well in the dramatic black and white. I love the lines and textures in the veins, but it’s [...]
DogWalk Shoot
Recent environmental portrait shoot for DogWalk, a new company just opened their doors this week. For this shoot I unconsciously adhered to the advice given by Greg Papazian: “Use a short lens and get close”. We were after a fun, colourful look for the company’s website, so I wanted to get some of the setting [...]
The Fridge Shoot
Testing out the Canon 1D Mark IV at the Fridge, Dubai with a band led by an incredible singer, Rachel Calladine. The Rachel Calladine Quintet were rehearsing at the Fridge while I shot away using one strobe with a snoot attached. I was going for a natural and spontaneous feel with the lighting quite dramatic [...]
K9 Friends Fun!
I had the latest shoot for K9 friends, my charity project of choice, today. And oh what fun! Two gorgeous dogs, brother and sister, looking for homes, so playful and cute, I can’t believe they’ve been overlooked. They’ve been at K9 Friends since they were pups and are so obedient and loving. I’d take them [...]

Working a Situation
I recently gave this exercise to my photography students: Find a single subject or scene, the more ordinary and mundane the better, and take a series of photographs of it, trying different angles, depth of field, format, lenses, zoom lengths, lighting conditions etc. The object of the exercise is to create interesting images of mundane, [...]
