Tania and Blair - 18.7.2009
On location. Demolition Site. Cambridge Road, Te Awamutu.
Tania and Blair asked me to come up with a location that was a little grimy, dirty, with lots of textures. In my mind I was thinking 'Building Site'. I had been searching around for quite some time when I drove past a derelict site and thought. Perfect! It was an abandoned building in amongst wild grasses. Broken windows galore...it had an interesting look that I thought Tania and Blair would really like. The day of the shoot was approaching and low and behold. Demolition was about to begin. Darn it!... however, all was not lost.
We rescheduled the shoot for the following weekend and I met with the site manager during the week explaining the purpose of my visit. All was cool and we got permission to go on site, on the proviso that we be extremely cautious... No problemo...
Come the day of the shoot, the buildings that were there were now gone! Just a shell of the largest building was all that remained! The demolition guys had really been working fast! Turns out, it was just right for us...That little bit of variety, not too spoilt for choice, does get you thinking on your toes...
Well, the proof is in the photos and I have to say I think they came out well. We had a really fun time on location during this shoot. The sun came out at just the right time and although Tania was a little camera shy, but with a little encouragement she soon got into it. Towards the end of the session that cold winter wind did start to get the better of us though!
All the best to Tania and Blair. You were a great and fun couple to hang with.
ps|studio will be shooting their wedding this November.

ps|studio DPI is a multi faceted visual design company spearheaded by Paul Shipper incorporating the three disciplines that are at the heart of his artistic existence.
Design. Photography. Illustration.
Born in Manchester, England Paul grew up with a pencil permanently attached to his hand. Realising his talent for the visual Paul followed art and design through high school before graduating with a BA in Illustration and Animation from Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK.
“My training really came from years of drawing and painting, studying the works of my inspiration, and sheer determination to making a dream become reality.”
While keeping a full time job Paul began illustrating professionally for himself, gathering clients and working on projects in his spare time. It was during this time that he firmly established himself in the design industry as well as becoming an accomplished photographer. Some of his proudest achievements have included receiving Star Wars work from Lucasfilm on the 30th anniversary of the franchise as well as working with clients such as Penguin Books NYC, Sports Illustrated, GQ Magazine and Topps Inc.
“I want to provide my clients with an enjoyable working experience with an end result that we can both be proud of.”
In 2007, Paul and his Fiancé left their UK lives behind in search of greener pastures and are now permanently based in New Zealand with their little girl. He began ps|studio DPI to bring together his three great loves and has enjoyed total success, servicing clients all over the world.
When he isn’t saving the world one illustration at a time you’ll find Paul practicing his drums and piano, exploring the country and spending precious time with his young family.
