With photographers and the HK public alike fed up with being told we can't shoot photos freely in Hong Kong's public spaces, we organised a group of pro photographers to join the HK public to protest at D&G last weekend, helping to prompt an apology from D&G and a statement by the HK government declaring we are free to shoot in public spaces!

10/2010. My FCC exhibition opening

Posted Fri, 08/10/2010 - 10:25

Weds Oct 6 saw the cocktail opening of my photography exhibit, Face Off, at Hong Kong's Foreign Correspondent's Club, a retrospective of my street portrait photography. The work which spans 21 years in 12 countries

Portraiture can be intimate, provocative and powerful. Approach a stranger on the street and you are confronting them, isolating them, pulling them from their comfort zones and invading their personal space. Sometimes you get complete compliance, sometimes you get violent reactions

My radio interview by Phil Whelan on RTHK relating to my current photography exhibition, "Face Off", at Hong Kong's Foreign Correspondent's Club. Public speaking needs practise, you need to slow down, speak in short sentences, have a glass of water on hand in case your throat dries and hope you don't get mental blocks ....nothing to it!

Presidential photography is always eventful. Having previously being "roughed up" with punches to the kidneys by ex-President Clinton's Secret Service bodyguards [I accidentally nearly stepped on Hilary's toe], I was wondering what these would entail as all Presidential bodyguards are a law unto themselves

08/2010 - Merc SLS AMG "Gullwing"

We had the new Mercedes SLS AMG "Gullwing" on loan for 4 hours. Whilst cruising around Hong Kong highways for the Prestige magazine photography shoot I never had to call Jon Wall [writer/test driver] on a 2-way radio or mobile phone to find out where he was, with that unmistakable and unique low gurgling growl of the SLS 6.3 litre V8, I could hear exactly where the USD400,000 car was at all times
