This past week I had the distinct privilege of being the guest Instagrammer for Destination BC on their @HelloBC Instagram account. I shared a series of images from my home area of BC, the Sea-To-Sky Corridor. You can now also view some of the photos on the Hello BC blog! I’m so happy to have been able to share some images from my beautiful home. Read the post on the Hello BC blog HERE.

The website Soul ID recently featured me as one of the top 100 action sports photographers in the world. You can check out the rest of the photographers here, there’s lots of great inspiration to be had from the folks on this page. A great honour to be a part of it!
Popular surf and mountain sport website, The Inertia, featured my photography with a gallery of images a few months ago. It’s a wonderful website, and truly an honour to grace its digital pages. Check out the feature HERE.
I thought I’d share a little Christmas tale with you guys and hopefully it’ll make you chuckle 🙂 My parents live in the UK and this Christmas I wasn’t going to be able to head over there to spend it with them. My brother currently lives in New Zealand but he’d been to visit me in Canada a couple of months ago. While he was here, we took a photo of the two of us together. Living on opposite sides of the world, it was quite a rare occurrence for us to be in the same place at the same …
I posted about this on my Twitter and Facebook pages a few months ago, but I forgot to mention here on the blog. I had a lovely chat with one of the writers at Adobe, and they published some of my photo tips on their blog. You can read the post HERE on the the Adobe blog.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of talking to Matt Brandon, The Digital Trekker, from the Depth of Field Podcast. We chatted about all things photography and had a great time! You can find the podcast episode on The Digital Trekker website, or on iTunes. If you want to learn a bit more about me and my story, what I’m up to these days and how I run my business, take a listen!
I take my website very seriously because it has been the source of so many of the great things that have happened to me throughout my career. This website is built on a platform called Divi, by Elegant Themes. It’s a theme that has an incredible amount of customization options so no two Divi sites have to look the same. A while back, Elegant Themes contacted me and asked me if they could do a feature about me and my site on their blog. I think at the time, I actually forgot to post this on my own blog, so …
A few years ago B&H Photo asked myself and a few other adventure photographers for some advice about shooting in the snow. I thought it would be a good time to point back to that advice this week as many of us go into a short holiday with lots of opportunity to get outside and capture the winter. Maybe you’ll even have some new camera gear to play with! You can find the article over at B&H Photo –> HERE.
The folks at Photocrowd have asked me to judge their Snow & Ice photography contest that just started this past week. MindShift Gear are providing the prize, an awesome Rotation 180 Trail backpack! I have one of these packs myself and it’s my go to pack for lightweight outdoor action photos. Head on over to Photocrowd and check it out! I’d love to see some of your photos in the contest . Entries close on February 1st, so you’ve still got some time to get out there and take some snowy shots, but if you’ve already got something in the …
You know, I can’t honestly remember if I ever mentioned this to you guys over here on my personal blog… Over on ShutterMuse.com, where I’m putting all my longer articles and reviews these days, I actually have a 100-page eBook that I give away for free. It’s called 10 Incredible Tools For Professional Photographers, and it details ten tools (duh!) and best practices for helping to run a profitable and professional business. Yes it’s true that it’s only really relevant to those of you who have aspirations of making money from your photos, though. There will be something for everyone …
A couple of months ago I posted about how I shot the Blood Moon solar eclipse. I was just digging through my email inbox today and I found an email from one of the producers at NBC who kindly sent me a link to the new spot that briefly features one of my blood moon photos. You can view the spot HERE. For those that don’t live in the US (that includes me), Nightly News on NBC is currently the highest rated nightly news show with over 9 million viewers every week. Pretty neat!
