Introducing Harustudio
2.5.11
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our latest creation, Harustudio. My wife, Iku, has always been a huge part of my work, and we’ve decided to partner up and create a boutique weddings, family, and children photography company. We offer the same friendly service you can expect with me, excellent prices, and beautiful photography — so head over to our new website at www.harustudio.com.au.
Short-listed in Head On 2011!
I am very happy to announce that I have been short-listed in this year’s Head On Portrait Prize.
Captured
Two of my images, both taken during this year trip to Japan and Hong Kong, have been selected to be part of Ultimo TAFE’s Captured: Graduate Photography Exhibition, which is part of the Head On Festival.
Japan and Hong Kong
6.4.11
Just got home today from a brilliant 17 days in Hiroshima and Hong Kong, introducing our son to his grandparents and great-grandparents. Despite the recent tragedy in north-eastern Japan, the people in Hiroshima seemed perfectly normal; but for the days following there would be groups of people calling for donations at busy street corners in an insistently loud but completely polite way. And I was told since courier services restarted to the Tohoku area and Tokyo, people have been sending boxes of bottled water to friends and family, making it hard to buy bottled water in the city.
Website problems with IE

And introducing…
18.4.10
We’re having a baby! Such is the power of photography that they gave us these print outs in a little wallet sized window sleeves just like a school photo — which is perfectly apt since this is the first image of our child. Barely three months since conception, touch under 6cm big and we have [...]
New Website
15.2.10
Chances are you’ve noticed a few changes to this page, we’ve launched a new website! I’ve been wanting a site that really shows off my photography in full screen glory, but without using Flash. A bit of inspired poking about led me to this page, where a very talented web designer called Eirik Backer had [...]
Portfolio Refresh
15.11.09
Portfolios are like wardrobes, they need to be cleaned and refreshed every so often. With all the new work I’m producing I thought it was time to shake things out a bit and see where I’m at with my photography. Choosing images for a portfolio is — for those of you who have never had [...]
Website makeover
18.7.09
Regular readers might notice the change, I’ve just launched the new(er) version of this site. The old one was a bit messy visually, and I made a point of giving the site more structure. And a few fancier bells and whistles. And I also gave my portfolio a refresher, pulling out some older images and [...]
Website Update
6.7.09
Had a bit of time this weekend to do a little website upkeep, and I’ve updated the Wedding page with my last wedding that I shot, and I also put up a page devoted to my ‘Hiroshima’ project. Also did a little nip and tuck to the layout of the site, nothing that you’d notice [...]
Japan in 4 days!
4.6.09
I’ve been busy wrapping up all the loose ends and unfinished projects in preparation for my trip back to Japan in just 4 days. We’re flying at some impossible hour in the morning on the Sunday, and while most people would be busy packing, or repacking, on the Saturday, I will be shooting a wedding. [...]
