We’re just getting used to this kind of normal in New Zealand so it’s taking me a while. Stoked to have a client that constantly pushes the boundaries of what can be done with merino. Does anyone else suffer from ‘mask beard’ though.

I’m currently in Portland for work. Summer is amazing here and there’s a whole bunch of amazing textures around.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on Tumblr, as things have become very Insta heavy but I’ve been missing it so I’m going to start posting on here again.

I’ve been shooting and editing a lot of video lately, which I’m really enjoying. Here’s one I’ve just finished for Boar and Blade Barbour shop in Ponsonby. Real fun one to work on with these guys.

Beats by Adam Fuhr.

I got to spend last weekend in Tasmania shooting for a book project in my favourite cabin in Tasmania.

I was second shooter last week for Forest Woodward, he took this one of me having some downtime on location in downtown Auckland.

Some shots taken from my first location shoot for Icebreaker Merino on the beach at Pakiri, for the SS16 launch. Working with good talent makes life so easy.

So happy to have a story in Huck magazine’s adventure issue. I wrote a small peice about the bike folk I met on the road in California. (Not my cover)

A shot I took a while back in Canada made it into the Icebreaker FW16 ‘Wild Life’ Workbook. Really nice to find a home for this one.

I headed out just north of Auckland last week for a fun winter camping trip shooting some of Homecamp’s new stock.

I just won the Penfield #mylifeintheopen photo contest with this photo from my Redwood Orphans story. Can’t wait to get my hands on some new threads.

I shot some photos for my friend Rosie's website last week. She makes awesome flower arrangements in Auckland.

New Zealand based surf mag, Damaged Goods, printed a re-written, surf based version of my story in their latest issue. This mag is beautiful and they even used my design assetts.

Melbourne based outdoor suplier, Homecamp, used one of my shots from my recent trip down the West coast on their homepage. Take a look at the site for more fine goods and some more of my photographs.

One of the  reasons I love travelling by bike so much is you get to take in your surroundings at a slower pace, and notice things you might miss in a car. You can also stop with a lot less fuss. While bike touring through Spain and Portugal last year I couldn’t get enough of the crazy colours, textures, tiles and patterns on the front of the buildings there. Here are some of my favourites.
