After countless trips to Zabriskie point over the past 25 years, we finally got to see a different side to this iconic location – thick fog, crawling across the floor of Death Valley at sunrise, wrapping the hills in mystery.

San Francisco, It’s Been A While – How Are You Doing…?
I’ve always felt like like cities should be seen from up high, and San Francisco is no exception. Above all the noise, above all that chaos – just sat up there on a rooftop, watching the world move along minute by minute as the sun fades to night.

Photographers, Instagrammers – Stop Being So Damn Selfish and Disrespectful
Narcissistic, rude, oblivious to others and disrespectful of the world we live in. How on earth have we got to this place, all in the name of social media and instagram?

Chicago from the rooftops : Carbide, Carbon and a little Hard Rock
Chicago. “The Windy City” – home to some of the finest architecture, food and (now!) baseball teams in the USA. Stood on the rooftop of the Carbide and Carbon Building, now the home of Chicago’s Hard Rock Hotel, it’s easy to see why people are so fascinated with this city – looking out across the skyscrapers, neighbourhoods and river as it weaves its way through the juxtaposition of historic stone buildings and sleek modern towers. And what […]
Thinking outside of the Box : Kuala Lumpur from Above
(Don’t) Look down! At around 1,000ft above the ground, Menara Kuala Lumpur (or the “KL Tower” as it’s also known) isn’t a record-breaker by any means, but hey – it’s still the highest place you can get to across the city. My usual plan when shooting nightscapes tends to specifically exclude photography from the iconic towers for one simple reason : that icon can’t be in the shot if you’re stood on it to take the photo! This […]
Venetian Nights – Capturing Venice’s Grand Canal
Ah, Venice. The Bride of the Sea, City of Bridges, City of Light, City of Water and Serenissima. A stunning place to just force yourself to get lost with no maps and wander around the winding streets, waterways, alleys and ancient buildings exploring an area that is so set back in time, it’s as close to arriving in a Shakespearean novel as you can get. My last visit to Venice had resulted in quite a few “learning […]
A Special Moment – Shooting from the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, Jin Mao Tower
Of course, witnessing that sunset was a special moment in itself – but being up here on the rooftop of the Jin Mao Tower, the home of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Shanghai, was especially significant for me. Soon, I would be leaving Shanghai – a place I’ve called home for 3 years now – and this was a return to the very first building I’d ever visited in Asia. Stood up on the roof with my […]
Japan 2015 – Capturing the Tokyo Tower from the Andaz Rooftop
Tokyo – what a truly amazing place. Full of modern innovation, side by side with centuries of culture and history. It’s one of my favourite cities in the world, and despite visiting a few times (I’ve climbed Mount Fuji twice now!) – it was another tick off the list to head back there and capture an iconic image of the skyline before I leave Asia for a while. The standard stereotypes can actually be pretty accurate […]
Burj Khalifa – The Jewel in the Crown of Dubai, City of Gold
It doesn’t matter how many rooftops I’ve photographed from, whenever I’m in a new city I always get that “wow” moment when I look across the skyline for the first time – and this was no exception. From the top of a building (which was, in fairness, extremely tall in its own right!), I set up on the ledge and started clicking. Sadly, jpeg compression doesn’t do this image enough justice on-screen, but the tones of the sky and detail in […]
Happy New Year 2015 and NYE 2014 from Sydney!
What an amazing view – and what a privilege to be able to photograph it during a one-off event at such a special hotel location. I’ve always been a fan of the Shangri-La in Sydney, the views from the Horizon Club floor and Altitude/Blu Bar at the top of the hotel are simply the best panoramas you can get of the harbour. But this was an unexpected (and very gratefully received) honour to be allowed up onto the […]
