Some time ago I photographed the beautiful Isobella in a milk bath.
Yesterday I revisited those images and used a graduated filter and some dramatic cropping in Photoshop to produce the image below.
Capturing an idea in camera, then manipulating that idea with PS: a creative’s playground…
A few years ago I came across a site called Workaway: a concept where travellers are offered free accommodation in exchange for hours worked.
I was a host for some time and now as I’m travelling without any destination in mind, this concept has offered alternatives to regular accommodation.
I recently stayed in a beautiful 5-star eco-lodge in the central highlands of Bali: all the owners asked for in return was images they could use on social media & websites.
As a photographer & journalist, it offered a great opportunity to capture this beautiful place nestled high in the hills, surrounded by crystal clear waterfalls.
Serene, elegant & peaceful…
Life takes us down different roads. In our travels we connect, disconnect and reconnect.
Reconnections can be precious moments that shine light and laughter upon those whose life’s paths have crossed.
Over a year has passed since Isobella & Eddie connected.
Yesterday they reconnected…
I’ve always been one to splash my life with colour. It’s been said at times the colours I splash across my world are somewhat extreme, but hey, as the cliche goes, that’s life.
Once again, I’ve changed the colour of my world and I’m heading to Udaipur, India. Not to visit, but to live.
I head there knowing, or should I say, suspecting it will be a proverbial attack on the senses. For whilst I’ve travelled to many countries in my life, India is not one of them and I’ve no doubt that I’m about to be plunged into a life whereby my emotions and patience will be tested.
So this is the first of many posts where I shall share the laughter, the chaos and the colourful characters that will awash my new life .

It has been sometime since I have picked up my camera and captured images of wonderful people and places.
Not because I haven’t wanted to, but quite simply because life is what life is. And sometimes it takes you down a different road, if just for a little while.
The other day a message asked me back, back to a place where laughter and love was in abundance and where I captured it for prosperity.
Isobella, one of my favourite models wanted to do a shoot in a milk bath hoping to get a silky, white ethereal image. Yet her recent change of hair colour impacted the end result, in a very rosy way…
Serenity is everywhere. In the stillness of the morning, in the quiet of the night and in the laughter of loved ones…
