HI.
I'm Damian McArthur. Photographer, chef, alpinist, adventurer, dad.
​
I started my photography career way back in the film days as a surf photographer in New Zealand. My photos ended up in a few publications and photo sales helped fund further surfing adventures.
​
I eventually set the camera aside to pursue other interests however, when film and developing became more and more expensive. A friend had introduced me to mountain biking and it turned out I could ride a bike fairly competently. I shifted to France in 2001 to participate in the international racing scene.
​
I stopped racing mountain bikes in 2008 (it really should have been 2006, but we won't go there), I picked up the camera again and began photographing within the mountain bike industry that I knew so well.
This eventually led to winter sports photography with various brands and athletes. Living in the mountains meant I never had a shortage of content.
​
From there it was a simple matter to start pointing my camera at other subjects.
​
Weddings quickly (and surprisingly) became a favourite genre of mine. Having the honour to document such a wonderful day in two peoples lives, surrounded by people they love, everyone looking their best and having fun. What's not to love about it!
​
Now, I am fortunate to have had my images feature in many publications, billboards, magazine covers and websites around the globe.
​
Feel free to contact me (I'm quite approachable) with any ideas or projects you may have.
​
I'm always happy to participate in your next adventure!
Damian.
Yes, I made many poses in front of my camera as it took a photo every 2 seconds... I must have looked like a right tit if anyone was watching
