A unique point of difference are the Philmhaus Cinematic Portraits! After 30 years of working in top levels of the Cinema & film industries- comes a manifestation of a very non standard portrait experience. Let you imagination run wild!
Another Point of Difference are our ‘Pop Art’ Portraits. These are based of specific portrait styles from the last 100 years. Whether a movie poster form the 40’s, a pinup from the 50’s or any Andy Warhol picture from a party in the 60’s- we are a fan of them all!
In a previous life I wrote & shot award winning films for Les Mills International & as such bring over 30 years of imaging experience to the health and fitness industries.
Shooting portfolios for both International and local models with a high level of experience & professionalism - is a highlight of what I do!
Whether it’s an America’s Cup Parade, a book launch, or a rock concert- Philmhaus has the had the honour to capture events for top clients.

I have a passion for landscapes that help me become a better photographer both technically & connecting my audience - emotionally to an image.
As a musician, years of playing in & engineering for bands in the NZ music scene, has bought some great opportunities to work on music videos & photograph some of the best musicians from New Zealand & overseas.

I see photographing children as a wonder to behold. I take the same cinematic approach as I do to adults- and look for the mystery and joy in a young person- and bring it to life!
