Wait In Wonder
A rewarding morning I shared with my workshop clients, as this rainbow emerged over this lone Kōwhai tree. A huge part of my job involves reading the sky and anticipating light, so this wasn’t luck but instead a game of patience. We waited in the wind and rain for the sun to finally reach the rain cloud beyond, rewarding us with this spectacular show. I’m grateful to behold and capture such moments.

Arms Of The Forest
Golden yellow leaves are sprinkled throughout the canopy of the Silver Beech during autumn, which makes for a vibrant contrast against the green forest. The contorted branches of the silver beech are one of my favourite elements in the natural world. This frame is my attempt at showing the beauty of the trees as well as this lovely waterfall on the coast.

Valour
A beautiful gift that was unveiled before my eyes. My favourite type of scene to behold as glacially carved mountains rise from the atmospheric forested valley below. A few minutes later it was gone. I really cherish this moment.

Where We Wander
An enjoyable morning spent boating into the wilderness, then hiking and wading to follow this beautiful stream with my son. You can check out the vlog over on my Youtube channel.

Mountains Of Water
After a torrential downpour, it’s a humbling sight as the mountains weep from summit to sea. There’s nowhere quite like it.

Ablaze
One of my favourite times of year as the air cools, the light softens and the first snows drape the mountains. The autumn colours are a nice bonus too!

The Fall Of Light
A special location in some special conditions. I waited some time for this aun alignment and the right weather window. Spontaneous photography is generally favourite but planned shoots like this are also greatly rewarding, when everything comes together and the vision becomes reality.
This image is part of a new tutorial I’ll be releasing soon showing how I plan, execute and create my work.

Water & Stone
A walk and scramble in the mountains led me to this viewpoint, after heavy rain caused the mountains to weep. Overlooking a grand valley I enjoyed working this scene as it was slowly enveloped in cloud.

Azure Eyes
Shallow mountain tarns, reflecting light and minerals. The Fiordland mountains are spotted with an innumerable amount of lakes and tarns but some are certainly more eye catching, with a variety of spectacular green and blue hues. These two being one such example.
