Born in Nelson NZ, travelled extensively abroad in the early 90s shooting an adventurous 45,000km cycle tour crossing 17 countries over a 3 1/2 year period. Adventure and love for the outdoors is still in his blood with regular, kayaking, swimming, tramping, motor cycling, mountain biking and road cycling (NZ road race M4 champion 2010).

Today Grant is now specializing in Architecture, Commercial, Portraits, and Weddings. His commercial client base is currently over 350. He is also BOSIET and HUET Certified- including Health & Safety, Fire, Marine & Aviation and Medical (a requirement for off shore Oil Rig Photography).

He has covered over 200 weddings and a similar number of studio and outdoor portrait shoots. A personal favourite is fine art pregnancy shoots.
