The Pelicans / Amsterdam
The Pelicans – an annual competition/showcase of the hardwork the international account teams at Omnicom Media Group EMEA have done throughout the year. Being part of the IT team (my -9-5) I was lucky enough to head over a day before with the core organistion team to be on support for any IT issues. The 500+ attendees arrived for the main event the following morning. Naturally I had my camera in hand so I quietly captured the behind the scenes. The event was followed by a grand dinner (where my camera stayed at the hotel) at the National Maritime Museum before finishing off with an after party in central Amsterdam. Not a bad way to celebrate the year at all!
I love creating images that speak to me.
I grew up in a small town that nobody really knows about, Levin. Spent a good ten years in Hamilton making some of the best friends anyone could have. And now I’m living, working and playing in the city of Auckland, New Zealand. Also a small country that people have trouble locating – I’m looking at you America!
Life is about stories, and that’s what I love to capture and document. My shooting style is unobtrusive. You may be a natural in front of the camera, or have no idea what to do but before we even start I’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed.
Things I love: Travelling to wherever I can, my partner Monita, homemade burgers, wood fired pizzas, the smell of rain on a hot summers day, mountains, the snow, sunsets and sunrises, star gazing, natural light, the aesthetic of wood, crashing waves and day dreaming.
