QT Hotel Newcastle for Richard Crookes Constructions

There’s some changes happening in Newcastle. One of the benefits of being a photographer is getting to visit amazing spaces, sometimes before they are open to the public.

In May, Richard Crookes Constructions contacted me to photograph some of the new rooms of the QT Hotel Newcastle before completion of the project.

It is an exceptional development and an example of how to thoughtfully reimagine spaces for new uses while paying respect to their history. I really enjoyed the private tour with the Richard Crookes Constructions crews explaining the work done to merge the structure of the old David Jones Building and the new construction.
Looking forward to seeing how the next 2 phases of the East End Village will revitalise the city of Newcastle.

Now the QT is open to the public, I hope to be back there to enjoy a drink on the rooftop bar soon. Enjoy the moody atmosphere.

Lake Haus By Tim Neve

The first time I photographed the Lake Haus for Tim was in December 2021. Located an easy 2 hour drive north of Newcastle, Tim has completely reinvented this house to make the most of it’s location, a few steps from the shores of Smiths Lake.
With such a great subject, I was happy to return a few months later when Tim contacted me to photograph his latest furniture collection, Début. So we drove back to Smiths Lake. The concept was to make the most of the reflective polished concrete to showcase the furniture.
Recently I returned for a third visit, this time to create a video which captures the space, furniture and location - showcasing the Lake Haus.
