Commissioned Photography

Simon can be commissioned for a variety of photography assignments.

He is primarily a stills photgrapher who enjoys shooting with film and/or digital. He has also worked with video as "second camera" on several film and televsion shoots.

Over the years Simon has been able to combine his photographic and outdoor experience — in particular his climbing and rigging skills — to capture images that most other photographers would not be able to attempt — due to being too inaccessible, difficult or dangerous. In addition to photographing climbing, Simon's outdoor and climbing experience has also proven invaluable for photographing other subjects in challenging locations.

In addition to working on cliffs, Simon is also happy to take on more general outdoor photographic assignments — with both feet firmly on the ground.

Sorry, but Simon does not shoot weddings!
