My Home
The epitome of home, with the misty Murchison mountains caught in morning light and the glow of a rainbow which so often greets us in the morning.
Te Anau New Zealand (2021)
Valley Of The Waters
A land shaped by water, in all its forms. I’ve had many moments like this with no other souls in sight aside from my mountain friends, the Kea. Surrounded by walls of roaring waterfalls and the rhythmic tapping of rain upon the wet granite. I find a great comfort here in the valleys, amidst the elements.

Rising above all else, at the edge of Fiordland is the mighty Mt Tutoko. The remnants of an ancient glacier system resides on this mountain pass, with deep crevasses and icy slopes which plunge thousands of feet to the valley below.

Uprising
A classic NZ scene on the West Coast, with Mount Tasman and Cook above morning mist set alight by the warm glow of the summers sun.
Lake Matheson, New Zealand (2021)
End Of Darkness
The full moon setting at the break of dawn, overlooking Doubtful Sound. A telephoto perspective shot from a plane, after 12 months of waiting for wind, rain, sun, moon and cloud to all align in this one moment. In my life I have truly witnessed the upmost grandeur of creation and for this I’m highly thankful and indebted to pursue these sights and capture such places with all that I am. Thank you for viewing.

Snow And Fire
A winters dawn amidst a landscape purified by snow and ice. The vast silence on this morning was just as impressionable as the grand view itself.
Mount Aspiring, New Zealand (2021)
Endless
Sunlight and sea flood the rugged valleys of Fiordland, where millions moss covered trees cling together and climb the steep mountain walls. How grateful I am to witness such wondrous windows in time.

Primeval
A wild land that lays hidden from the eyes of men, carved and sculpted by the forces of wind, water and ice.
Northern Fiordland, New Zealand (2021)
Way Of The Eternal
This scene is ingrained in my memory, as morning light broke through the darkness of night, high above the summits of giants.
Norwest Lakes, New Zealand (2021)
Milford Majesty
An iconic view that seems to transcend time, the Milford fiord rivals the greatest scenery on earth with its symmetry and towering peaks that rise dramatically from the depths of the sea. Living local and having a strong bond with this icon, I felt overdue to create something new here, but waiting for the right cloud was essential. After a few weeks of closely monitoring the conditions, this was the sunset I was waiting for.
Milford Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand
Risen
As you begin to allow yourself time in nature, you’ll start seeing the world differently and every so often, you’ll come face to face with a sight that will leave a lasting impression, stirring something within. Here is a personal favourite of mine, something of a dream scene that materialised for a few brief minutes and truly is the epitome of what I love and enjoy about the mountains. Single exposure, 400mm perspective.

Harmony
A moment of harmony and order, high above a world searching for truth and peace. An aerial image, captured from 9500ft, as the sun set and the full moon ascended.
Mount Aspiring, New Zealand
New Dawn
The light and hope of a new day, carried on the wings of dawn.
Lake Manapouri, New Zealand
All Consuming
A favourite mountain of mine, which I’ve shared many moments with. On this winters morning, everything all came together in a wondrous symphony.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Outworld
How small we truly are, looking across a fractured land of ice and stone, set ablaze by the final flickers of evening light.
Upper ice fields, West Coast New Zealand
Place Of Rest
The light sure seems extra special in a region that is often clothed in rain. Bowen Falls and late afternoon light painting the land.
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Guardian Of The Tides
A personal favourite, an expression of my relationship with both the mountains and sea. Here, the waves of the Tasman Sea crash beneath the towering Southern Alps, with Mount Tasman and Cook overlooking the shore. This image began as an idea and vision that finally materialised, after many months and multiple attempts.
Mt Cook and Tasman, West Coast New Zealand
The Gateway
A morning of endless inspiration, as the elements entangled in a grand symphony.

Synergy
The sculpted surfaces of the winter landscape, brought to life in the fullness of light.

Quiet waters beneath the grand peaks of the Southern Alps, awoken in the light of a new day.

Oracle
Alone one morning, I was graced with this ephemeral view. A humble bystander as a rare fogbow came to life in the light of a new winters day.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Paradigm
A brief window in time, where mountains rise from a sea of cloud, into in the final rays of the sinking sun.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Oscillation
To me, the great beauty of the Southern Alps is their close proximity to the sea, where the highest peaks rise to a towering 12,000ft above the surface of the water. Finding and accessing locations that reveal this relationship is not simple, but some of these views are the greatest in the country.
Mt Tasman, West Coast New Zealand
Sawtooth
A fleeting window in time, where I was grateful to be a mere bystander amidst a greater work of art.
The Great Divide, New Zealand
Harbinger
A day where light, snow and shadow all danced across the landscape, adorning it in white.

A calm winters afternoon, in the heart of the mountains.

The simplistic beauty of winter, decorating a typical Fiordland scene of mountains, forest and light.

Titan
The true north summit of Aoraki/Mt Cook (3724m) captured at dawn using a 800mm perspective. This is certainly my favourite angle of Cook, where the true dominance of its height and beauty is revealed.
