A beautiful, sunny September day in Vancouver’s Southlands neighbourhood was the setting for our first Nude in the Haus photo competition, presented by PhotoHaus Gallery. The concept: we cast one model and chose a beautiful house as our location. Ten photographers competed for the $500 cash prize. Each photographer had a strict thirty minute limit [...]
On a recent trip to Rome, Italy, I was fortunate enough to come across a fantastic exhibit of original prints by portrait photographer Arturo Ghergo. An icon in Hollywood style images of top names in Italian nobility, politics, entertainment and of aspiring starlets of the 1930’s through to 1959. In fact, having your portrait made [...]
Hello everyone, it has been some time since my last post – I was over in Germany with my family for the past few weeks. Needed to take a much deserved break. But, as most of you will likely understand, a ‘break’ or ‘vacation’ (as it is sometimes called) will ALWAYS include time for photography [...]
Shot this one on my last trip to Hamburg, Germany. They are building some amazing things there, very interesting modern architecture all in the heart of the city: This was done with my long exposure technique, which eliminates the people from the scene and also generates some interesting streaks of clouds in the sky. I [...]

Well, the new family is home. Finally! One of the things I look forward to the most is to share all the ‘firsts’ in my daughters life. Yesterday morning, it took us a few minutes to realize that we were having our first family breakfast together. Who would have thought? The camera is glued to [...]
They told us it would change our lives. We knew that no matter how prepared we thought we were, it would still surprise us. We had been waiting for this day for almost 10 months. And when it finally happened, we were not only lost for words, but swept away by an indescribable array of feelings, love, [...]
Today I would like to share another Portrait (Well, a small series, really). My parents are currently visiting Vancouver. They live in Germany, and took the long trip here to witness the birth of their first granddaughter (our first child). They will be staying here with us for a full 3 months. Much appreciated help [...]
Hello! Today, I picked and image I shot a few weeks ago while driving back to Vancouver from Seattle. The weather that day had been miserable. Non-stop heavy rain made driving at highway speeds rather tiring, so I pulled off the road to stop and have some lunch. The rain suddenly stopped as I was [...]
Hello everyone, today I would like to share a short series of photographs from a recent model shoot I did. I thought this may be interesting as it shows how to go about getting a range of expressions from your model. I am not claiming full credit here. Needless to say, the ‘job’ of the [...]
