Derek Henderson is your man. (He took this here shot of NZer Zippy Seven.)

If you’ve not heard of him, Derek creates stunning imagery for the likes of RUSSH, Vogue and Oyster and has lent his lens to campaigns for Marcs, Zimmerman, Karen Walker and Rodd & Gunn. But he’s not all about the #fashun world. His latest book, a joint venture with NZ illustrator Kelly Thompson titled Darkness of Noon, is chock full of nekkid (but v tasteful) shots Zippy kinda just hanging out in the outback. Her naturalness and ease in front of the camera makes every shot look just so darn calming.

So how does he do it? You’ll just have to sign up for his Pedestrian Coach session to find out! He’ll be running you through tips and tricks on how to work with your subject, how to capture a personality in a single frame and how to get the best out of your photographs. (If you’re not a fan of fashion, it’s okay, he knows how to take photos of other things too.)

These days, it’s common to change jobs two, three or more times in your working life. When you change jobs, tell your employer where to pay your super – One simple form is all it takes!
