Described as being the “jewel in the duke’s crown” the final phase of Liverpool One is being implemented. These are the One Park West 17 storey apartments overlooking the Mersey River. I was there for the grand opening by the Duke of Westminster a few months back. Now the apartments are on the market and are being snapped up by savvy Liverpudlians and investors further afield. I was there on Thursday to take a few promotional shots for their new marketing collateral. So, hot off the press, here’s a sneak preview inside…

One of the things i’m lovin about photography here in the North West is it’s taking me to a few new places I might not otherwise see. Hull for example. Barclays have recently opened a new branch here, located centrally in the town square. Here’s a few photos of the people that both make up the town and visited the new branch that day. I was working this job courtesy of Steve Stills photography who is based in London.

And the Gods smiled on us… the only afternoon in the past month (as far as i’m aware) where the sun shone consistently, brightly, brilliantly… etc etc.. was the afternoon where the brief was to capture images that would persuade students from the planet to come and study English in Liverpool! And why wouldn’t you might I ask?

Another great networking event with the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. Held at the cool Osqa restaurant bar on Roscoe Street – there was lunch laid on, a bit of speed-networking and presentations by local business people. Next event will be when the tennis comes to town.

Mike Brewer of “Wheeler Dealers” fame was in town for a one day photo shoot to promote new accident breakdown company, Call Zebra. The shoot was nice and varied – starting in a mechanic’s workshop we got some shots with some smashed up cars. We then went into the studio and got a few “marketing-type” shots. We finished off with a trip to a car yard for a few more photos. A great day’s shoot, and Mike was the consummate pro and a pleasure to work with.

Think i’m over the jet-lag now, so with a bit of luck the blog will start to roll again.
Here’s one of my favourite shots from my recent trip back home to New Zealand. Taken at sunrise on a beach north of where I grew up – I guess it’s the subtle moody tones of the images I like. Last year I was chasing big dramatic landscapes. This year, so far, i’m enjoying more of a toned-down feel.
