5.30am and I found myself running around Bastakiya with Victoria Leckie. Victoria is a local legend when it comes to running. She proudly promotes the three stripped fashion brand and has completed more than a few ultra distance races. I’d been keen to shoot some personal stuff in old Dubai for some time.

I’d shot some cultural stuff previously but no action-based imagery. After a recce the previous morning, I had a solid feel for the light, angles and workflow. Read the full post >>

Where to start? I’ve been blessed with a fast forward-moving year full or awesome projects and an abundance of fun. 2011 has had its fair share of challenges too but I’ve lived to tell the tales, managed to pay the bills and expanded the business by hiring a business manager. Danya joining the team has given me a new perspective of the business. She’s enabled me to look at my own imagery with a fresh pair of eyes, brings valuable experience on the production side (hence the transition from WK Photography to WK Productions) and together, we’ve worked hard to fine tune our branding and communication strategy.

Why? Because there’s no better way to clear the mind and seek some solitude … give me a few color pens, the fresh mountain air and some awesome views … and ideas will u Read the full post >>

Travels are great. They inspire and inject energy (despite an often exhausted return). When it comes to my travels, I jump at every given opportunity to include an element of art, design and architecture. We flew back to Europe for Christmas, taking the opportunity to spend time with family and friends back in Holland. Despite being hectic as ever, we did manage a mini visit to Maastricht … a chance to absorb the atmosphere on every street corner and enjoy some authentic food.

A particular highlight was a visit to Bonnefanten Museum where we were introduced to the work of Sol Lewit. Wow! We watched a short ‘making of’ movie of this great artist. I’ve just pulled these images off the web to share. His flow of lines, the intricate details, an immense simplicity that outshines the complexity … Read the full post >>
