Stand Alone
Life and hope, on a stretch of desolate shore.
Golden Bay, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Upon The Sand
Sand and light, beside the edge of the sea once winters afternoon as the sun began to descend.
Masons Bay, Stewart Island South Island New Zealand (2022)

A momentary figure of water and light.

Snow Wave
Afternoon light scattered across waves of fresh snow and ice.

Shapeshifter
Fresh snow upon the glacier, warmed in delicate light in an expansive wilderness of ice.
Fox Neve, New Zealand (2021)
Serration
A conveyor belt of ice, buckled and fractured as it descends the frozen heights of the mountains.
Fox Neve, New Zealand (2021)
Footprints
A simple scene on the ice field, doing what is has done countless times, in the silence without a soul in sight. On this particular evening, I was thankful to be a witness.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Caked
Stress fractures in the ice, pull apart and create an expansive field of cube shapes, each large enough to easily fit a few houses on. Here, the sunset light spread across the surface, creating a foreign and dreamlike environment.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Underworld
Sunlight upon thick ice walls within a glacier.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Ice Towers
A scene of pure beauty in such an inhospitable environment. The contrast of warm sunset light across the surface of the ice was bliss. It’s hard to comprehend, but the foreground ice is the equivalent of large hills.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Here Right Now
Looking down upon a conveyor belt of ice that stretches on for miles. The scale is lost here, but you’d struggle to find a car if it were parked anywhere on the icy surface. As the day came to an end, the colours shifted on the ice into a beautiful array of warm hues. I felt privileged to behold such a sight.

Battlefield
A scarred battlefield of ice and snow stretching for miles.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Ice Sea
Last light skims across a field of endless snow and ice.

Kiss
As the sun met the horizon, the final rays of warm light prepare to drift off the sea of ice.

Cyan
The shimmer of morning light, highlighting the snow fed waters of the Hollyford River..
Fiordland, New Zealand
Arteria
The flow of glacial melt, intersecting the land.
Mackenzie Region, New Zealand
River Of Gold
Water and light, chased by the inevitable shadows of a looming dusk.

Fractured World
A world within a world. Naturally occurring rainbow sheen, upon the surface of still water.
Te Anau, New Zealand
Within The Bubble
What you’re looking at here, is sunlight reflecting across the surface of natural oils that have seeped out across sand. My reflected silhouette is seen inside the small air bubble. Ironically, a few days after capturing this, all of us in New Zealand were locked down due to COVID 19, forced to live within a small ‘bubble’ until the times have passed.
Te Anau, New Zealand
Colour Scroll
Natural oils leaking out, onto a sand bank. At the right angle, under certain lighting conditions, a myriad of colours and patterns were visible to the eye. This image was captured using a telephoto lens, zooming in close on this small scene.
Te Anau, New Zealand
Melt
The unique landscape of Iceland, viewed from high above a river delta, along the South Coast.
South Coast, Iceland
Pulse
An aerial perspective of the West Coast of New Zealand, looking down upon a light streaked river winding its way from the mountains to the sea.
Mountain Sea
My latest ocean imagery has been inspired by the Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky who was incredibly skilled at portraying the reflected light and movement of the sea. This photo is more subdued than my others but I liked the layering and textures here which also reminded me of an aerial perspective of the New Zealand landscape.
South Coast NSW, Australia
Divided
Looking down upon an ancient, flowing river of ice. Uplifted and scarred by the ever moving hands of time. For reference, a truck would fit on top of one of the cubed sections.
Scarred
An aerial perspective, looking down upon the complex colours and textures imprinted on the scarred surface of Iceland.
