Brothers of the earth
The peaks of Aoraki and Tititea (Cook and Aspiring), looking along the spine of the Southern Alps.

Glory
A moving moment, after 2 years of prior attempts to behold the magnificent Mt Fitzroy illuminated by the light of a new day. Not much else on earth rivals this sight.

Sea of stone
Mount Cook centred above the glaciated sea of stone, that is the Southern Alps.

Stronghold
Stormy skies and atmospheric conditions at dawn. The towers of the Fitzroy massif prepare to endure.
Patagonia, Argentina
Ice Empire
Cerro Torre, the mighty peak aflame at dawn. One cannot stand before this sight and not be moved by such imposing beauty.

Valor
Whether above the craggy peaks or below in the lush valleys, Fiordland has a way of impacting the soul of all who are exposed to its timeless beauty. Captured at dawn, this is my favourite mountain on earth, Mount Tutoko.
Emerge
Autumn colours vibrantly decorate the landscape in Patagonia, for a brief window in time before the sting of winter arrives.

The Vision
After 2 previous trips to Patagonia and having the weather deny me, this was a sight I’ve truly longed to see. The mighty Cerro Torre framed by the unmistakable fall colours in this beautiful region of Argentina.

Valley of the fiord
10,000 ft up, looking across the steep valleys to the high throne of Fiordland with Mount Tutoko and Madeline standing above the sea of petrified stone.

From Everlasting To Everlasting
I’d been thinking about this mountain for 12-months, ever since I failed to do it justice on the first visit. There’s many special parts of the New Zealand back country but this one is up there with my faves. The fog-fall was amazing to witness as the early morning light beamed down the valley and of course the many wild flowers that bloom across these hills.

Majesty In Misery
The acceptance of darkness and its requirement to let light shine in life.

When I trust in you
As darkness finally gave way to light, beside cascading torrents of rain water in Lofoten, Norway.
The Wall
Across the raging waters of the sea, beholding the humbling sight of countless waterfalls plummeting over a thousand feet into the deep waters below.
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Seeking Eternity
Heavy rains produced this powerful fall that descended from an upper valley in Lofoten. Curiosity got the better of me as I continued climbing up the slopes before getting caught in the downfall.
Lofoten Norway
Dawning
Through running my Iceland workshops, I’ve visited Kirkjufell dozens of time now yet haven’t shot here for almost 4 years. What unfolded this morning was really special though, as the sky began to glow and anti-crepuscular rays beamed from the horizon. A sight worthy of praise and of course, getting the camera out.

Light & Life
Looking west from the Earl mountains, toward the incredibly still and reflective waters of Lake Te Anau.

Piopiotahi (Milford Sound)
The glorious cathedral of shadow and light. the mighty fiord, bathed in the glow of an autumnal dusk. It’s a place that never fails to leave an impression on those that have spent time beneath it’s towering granite walls. For me, this was one such time.
Milford Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand
To The Flame
After several days of darkness in Lofoten, the brief sight of this golden light carried a renewing energy in its wings.
Lofoten Norway
Dream
I do enjoy the sweet, candy-like smell of a field lupin. I made a couple of morning trips to scout around the valleys over summer. After some river fords, this area was most exceptional for the vibrant flowers that stretched off into the horizon.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Soar
Fresh snow layered across the uplifted earth that comprises this unique land of fire and ice.

Epiphany
This was a fine Spring morning from the foothills, watching the morning light awaken the high peaks that were once carved from expansive glaciers. The impressive Mount Christina is in the centre.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Sky Tower
My heart is filled with an overwhelming feeling of reverence, gratitude and awe when I’m in Fiordland. It triggered something inside of me years ago, something that couldn’t be shaken. The slick granite faces that glow in the light after fresh rainfall, looming peaks that stretch overhead, valleys so steep that light is not permitted to enter within. This is my home and one part of the world I’m most familiar with.

Affirmation
Planning a shoot with the northern lights is certainly not a given. So many factors come into consideration that can either make or break your night. On this evening though, everything came together for myself and my workshop clients. After many trips to Iceland, this was the first time seeing the shore frozen at this location. We knew it would make for a special foreground, particularly with the dim green glow of the aurora illuminating it. I couldn’t shake the thought. 8 hours later we were able to behold such a sight. There’s also several meteors visible flying across the sky which were captured during the long exposure.
Vesturhorn, Iceland
Invicta
Mount Madeleine, rising from the valleys below in the land of shadows.
