Not rugby.

My photography with Olympic Triathletes Kris Gemmell, Laurent Vidal and Andrea Hewitt down in Wanaka over summer has proved pretty popular. Kris' images were all through the press and plastered on his sign-written Suzuki, Laurent's images were used by the French Triathlon Union, press and on the cover of Triathlon magazine a few months ago. Now Andrea is on the cover of Triathlon magazine as well. She's the first New Zealand triathlete to qualify a spot for next year's London Olympics so she's definitely worthy of the cover. But honestly, I'd be finding another career if I couldn't make a triathlete look good.

More from altitude

Last week I was up at altitude at the Snow Farm near Wanaka yet again, shooting another couple of world class triathletes - Andrea Hewitt [NZ] and Laurent Vidal [France]. Having already photographed Kris Gemmell up there a month before, I already knew where the good spots were and the second shoot gave me chance to capture the locations we couldn't get to on Kris' shoot. A big day finishing with me literally running to the plane but it was definitely worth it to squeeze every last minute from the day.
