Thanks very much Iain, the photo’s are excellent! Thanks again for the great job you did, and for giving us a lasting memory of a wonderful evening.
Lauren was kind enough to offer this testimonial:
I am a perfectionist and have been a fan of Iain’s nightlife photography for a long time! I did not hesitate to book and hire him for my 21st! Iain is both an efficient and effective communicator. Very quick with responses. This made the whole booking process effortless! On the night of my 21st, he was just superb and well-mannered. Arrived on time and was very professional throughout the night. The execution was amazing! My guests absolutely loved him! After the party, I requested for my pictures to be processed as soon as possible. Iain actively listened to my request and managed to complete my request on the night of the request! I am very, very pleased with the photos! Amazing speed. Flawless work. Prodigious photographer. Would not hesitate to hire Iain again! Thank you Iain!
You may also know me as the ‘town photographer‘ or the ‘town photo guy‘ through my ‘Free Photo Project‘: I take photos in town, on the street, only when people ask, and email them a copy of their photo for free.
I started the Free Photo Project one night to relieve boredom. I had no intent for it be anything more than one night’s entertainment, but I enjoy it so much that I have been doing it for over 3 years and have over 28,000 photos.
I alos have many years experience in recording and mixing music and other audio engineering skills. I have some graphic design experience and have contributed the illustrations and diagrams to The Art of Digital Audio Recording (Oxford University Press) by Steve Savage, due out in 2011.
I’m just going to leave this here: Ian Ferguson. If people are searching for me and spelling my name wrong they can find me.

Hi there Iain!
I would just like to say that it is so wonderful that some1 in chch is doin something positive. usually people get attention from things that involve crime and/or violence and many other unplesant things in this city, but what you are doing is different!
channeling positive energy into chch when everyone is out and about is more of what this city needs! if only there were more people that were more like yourself… everytime m myself and friends are walking to/from a club and see you we are instantly cheered up and you never hesitiate to let us take as many different poses as we want! Its an instant thirll!
thankyou for the wonderful photos,
continue with the great work!
best wishes,
Tiana
cheers for the photo mate,we had a good night…keep up the good work.
I think what your doing is flippn’ awsome. I’ve always thought it would be a brilliant idea for someone to do this sort of thing here. If cities like LA can have a party photographer why not chch.
Love your work!
Hey Iain,
You’ve taken a few photos of us in town and we dont ever take a camera to town so its good to get some photos.
Thanks.
Morning Iain,
Thankyou very much for a mug shots. We left our camera at home so having you do thid for us is awesome
)
You are very good at what you do, keep up the professional work.
Hi thanx for the photo that you took of my girl and her friends it was a surprise for me as I live in Australia and just love getting photos of my girl. So thanks. keep up the good work.
Ian … you rock.
What is the best about you is that you aren’t there with a cheap camera or an inspiring photographer.
You are photography.
You are professional and have a great camera and skills.
AND you do it for free.
I have had people in my group who didnt trust other people taking a picture of them so they decided to drop out of the photo… few days later when the photo came in my email they wanted to be in that photo
Keep it up.
Hi Ian thank you so much for sending the photos…you are amazing for doing this…you are awsome…see you in town
Ian cheers for all the pics
how do you get christmas in the park photos
