Piercing Of Light
A fleeting moment as the winter light flashed through the damp, misty forest.

Clarity
Soft afternoon light high above the fiords.

Waiting For The End
Remnants from a former time, hanging on until the end.

Water Walls
One of the stormiest days I’ve experienced in the great fiord.

Blush
Autumn often brings the first snow of the season and can sometimes rival the winter storms. Here, the tallest mountain in the country, Aoraki/Mt Cook is complimented by a snow covered valley at dusk. During this time, the shadows in the mountains and snow become quite blue and work well with the warm hues in the sky. A beautiful sight to experience especially with the crisp air.

Regenerate
There are many different gum tree species, all with unique characteristics. For me, it’s all about the bark.

Awakening
The tree lines landscape slowly awakening in the light of dawn.

Grand One
This small grove of trees will be familiar to any landscape photographer who’s passed through this area. I’ve kept my eye on these Kamahi trees for a few years, waiting for the right conditions. Finally on this calm quiet morning, the soft warm light and misty atmosphere aligned for a few brief moments.

The Rising
The slow moving atmospheric dawn of winter. My favourite time of year.

Twist
Light (and shade) is everything in photography, particularly when it comes to tree and woodland photography. For a brief window in time, this small pocket of native woods was incredibly inspiring as the soft light of dusk delicately painted this gum forest beside Lake Macquarie.

Wrath
As a professional landscape photographer living in Fiordland, it’s safe to say I’ve visited Milford Sound my fair share of times. Of the hundreds of visits and countless storms, this is one that has left the strongest impression. As 130km/h wind gusts funnelled the fiord, the surface of the sea was uplifted and mingled with rain and waterfalls that ascended into the heavens. A truly humbling display of the sublime.

No Doubt
The setting sun igniting the waters of the Tasman Sea and mountain framed passage of the fiord.
Doubtful Sound/Patea, Fiordland New Zealand (2025)
Luna
I have a handful of moon images in my portfolio which generally were the result of precise planning and plenty of patience. On this such occasion I was out early in winter, preparing for some dawn photography, when I noticed the low angled moon. I quickly made my way a few kilometres down the valley in order to align this with this composition just before the sun broke the horizon. Single exposure, 400mm perspective.

Enter Paradise
A multi-day photography trip where we walked many miles in the wilderness, exploring and being completely immersed in an untamed paradise. This is where I’m closest to the creator.

Floristry
Native Australian ‘finger flowers’ in a dense forest scene of gums.

Loom
Each year I spend some time based in the southern fiords, immersed in the wild untouched wilderness awaiting fleeting moments like this.
Dusky Sound, Fiordland New Zealand (2025)
Wonder
A special area where pristine waters flow and carve their way through the mountains, from snow to sea. This scene was found after several hours of hiking and wading in wondrous awe.
Westland, New Zealand (2025)
Peel
I’m fascinated by the beauty and contrast of textures found within the Australian bush. The gum trees make for a particularly wonderful subject.

Wherever The Light Leads
An image created on a camping trip, where we spent many days walking and exploring the depths of these ancient forests. You connect on a deeper level when you’re living and fully immersed in such places.

Morning Rise
As the morning awakens the sleeping forest. Mist rises and the leaves begin to glow.

Standing Firm
Coastal giants standing firm, when all else has began to fall.

Us Two
The greens within the New Zealand forest must be seen to be believed. They are particularly radiant after rain and with some gentle, diffused light.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2025)
Hope At Last
Alone on the waters, amidst the mountains pursuing light. I am content.
Te Anau, New Zealand (2025)
Gentle
Evening light making its away across the native Australian bush.

Upon The Surface
A fusion of water and light, where a fresh water creek flowed into an incoming tide all beenath a spectacular sky.
Umina, NSW Australia (2025)
Tangled
The forest is beautifully chaotic. Here is another attempt at capturing such complexity which typifies these wild areas of the fiords.
