May 2016 - Tesla, San Francisco

After the rock 'n' roll of LA we ventured north to the technology capital of the world - San Francisco. We were invited to visit the Tesla Factory - one of the largest factories in the world and even had the chance to take one of their latest models for a spin down to Santa Cruz.

April 2016 - Coral Gardeners, Seychelles

A fabulous opportunity to shoot an environmental feature in Seychelles followed - We met up with the people helping to save the regions depleting coral reserves. Shooting underwater to depths of 8 metres put my camera's underwater housing to the test.

Africa never fails to enchant, enrich and inspire -  so I jumped at the chance to tour Ghana, Togo and Benin in late Jan early Feb. Having visited Benin (the birthplace of Voodoo) before I knew a little about what to expect. From the colourful markets of Lome to the extraordinary Zangbeto rituals and floating village of Ganvie of Benin the trip didn't disappoint - Above (Left)  102 year old 'Wiseman' of Ghana's Cashew Village - Undoubtably wise but the other villagers seemed to dispute his reported age.
