Vessels
Glacial meltwater flowing from distant valleys, a landscape once dominated by ice.
Glenorchy, New Zealand
Break Through
No other place stirs my heart like Fiordland, even the name itself evokes lofty thoughts. Whether in the midst of chaotic storms or amidst a window of calm, beauty abounds. Here, the veil of cloud is lifted as the sun sets over the horizon at Dusky Sound.
Adorn
Patagonia, a place that can boast violent, light blocking storms, or a landscape adorned in vibrant autumn colours and sun-kissed, glaciated mountain peaks. Thankfully on this particular afternoon we were greeted with the latter.

From The Ruins
Where glaciers once ruled, by the smoking mountains of Fiordland, looking West over Doubtful Sound one afternoon as we waited for the sun to sink low enough to inflame the lingering cloud.

Mountain King
The name of this image not only represents my thoughts on the mighty Mt Fitzroy, but also reflects my thoughts toward my friend and landscape photography pioneer, Marc Adamus. Thank you for the years of inspiration behind this image and many others, brother.
Mt Fitzroy in wind gusts over 100km/h, creating amazing wave action on Viedma Lake. Certainly a difficult image to capture, with the icy blast of water and sand to contend with but one of my fondest memories in this part of the world.
Fitzroy, Patagonia
Hanging On
Mt Madeleine and remnants of a once mighty glacier which carved the peaks and valleys of Fiordland.
Power to believe
Mount Aspiring, the prince of the southern alps.

Brothers of the earth
The peaks of Aoraki and Tititea (Cook and Aspiring), looking along the spine of the Southern Alps.
South Island, New Zealand
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.
Cerro Torre, Patagonia Argentina
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.
Fitzroy, Patagonia
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.

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
Morning meadow
Taking advantage of the short summer bloom of lupin, I found this composition one afternoon in the Fiordland valleys. The location best suited the light of dawn so I managed to return a couple of days later and was fortunate to witness this scene unfold.

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.
