Hipwell Haus by Tim Neve

When I read that Tim’s home in Tighes Hill was for sale in late 2022, I knew it was a good indication that a new project was coming.

A few weeks ago, Tim contacted me to document his biggest project yet. The restoration of Hipwell Haus located in Mayfield.

This 1920s building holds many stories and Tim has ambitious plans to add a new chapter.

Like Tim, I appreciate that the journey is often as important as the destination and I am pleased to be helping him capture the different stages of the restoration. It can be very rewarding for builders, designers and creators to document the project coming to life. These images can also be used to create a photo book at the end for the client.

As we’ve worked together many times now, Tim has trusted me here to play with light, texture and to set the mood in these images.

The first two episodes of the journey are now live on Tim’s Instagram.
I am very much looking forward to seeing the final result and happy to see the photos we created of the journey already being shared through local publications and articles.

Stay tuned.

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.

The Henty House featured on Domain.com.au

It’s always satisfying to see images published or featured in articles. I had the opportunity to photograph The Henty House in Merewether after a charming renovation. The owners wanted images that captured the way they had brought light and space into what was once a small cottage.

Creating these images was a team effort - working with Skin & Bones Building and Inside78 Interior Design.
