Meri Kirihimete (Merry Christmas) from Aotearoa & happy holidays!

21 December, 2025

I have just sent the last follow up Email of the year,  and finally can stop for the holidays.

The past few weeks have been a succession of calls with photographers across Britain, USA, Australia and New Zealand, on the back of a workshop I ran (The advertising photographers’ reset) and a podcast interview I did with the fab duo Tom & Greg at Exposed Negative (you can have a watch/ listen here if you haven’t already).

It’s been such a blast meeting and chatting to so many talented and passionate photographers from across the globe, and I feel very privileged to have been the ear to your challenges, successes and goals throughout 2025.

So thank you for being in my wonderful community and I look forward to helping you in the new year as we navigate the madness that is the world right now.
