Hideaway
A beautiful waterfall tucked away at the feet of the mountains. Captured on a classic wet, rainy Fiordland day. Check out this video here, for the creation of this one.

Anticrepuscular
A fleeting and rare display of anti-crepuscular rays, at one of Australia’s iconic seascape locations. I was thankful to share this afternoon with my family as we watched the light show unfold.

Kin
I spent a few hours walking through the hills, trying to get up into the soft fog that was rolling through the forest. This was a scene that caught my eye.

Elemental
Bombo, on the NSW east coast of Australia. Where I spent much of my early days of photography. We were blessed with a full rainbow right on sunset, as the sky was set ablaze and the nearby ocean surged over the basalt walls. After 15 years of photographing here, this was the finest conditions I’ve witnessed and was fortunate to capture. It was fleeting and incredibly beautiful as long as it all lasted.

At days end
The end of a winters day, making our way back along the lake in my boat. As the mist began to build, this scene emerged for a few brief moments. We were soon inside the hut, fire roaring and warm food in the stomach. The end of another great day.

Stand Firm
I came across this large fern tree a few years back and visit it from time to time. It stands alone and firm, commanding the attention of any who may pass by. On this particular afternoon, the light was just right.

Blushing
A beech tree displaying a vibrant bloom of flowers, captured in the rain. In over a decade, I’d never seen such immense flowering of the beech. From a distance, some of the hills were more orange than green.

Gatekeeper
An old sentinel that watches over the entrance to one of Australia’s best photography locations.

Soul
This was a spectacular morning we awoke to, with silky calm waters, swirling atmosphere and the soft, warm light of dawn making its way into the fiord.

Valley Of Wonder
Some days you watch the cloud build and know something special is on the way. With just enough time, I made it into the valley to watch this wonderful show unfold. It never gets old.

Peel
A small family of gum trees, captured one foggy autumn morning. I’m a sucker for these gum textures. You can see how this was made, in my course on trees and woodlands.

Far Away Places
Dense, vibrant forest and fresh flowing water in one of the most remote areas of Fiordland.
Breaksea Sound, New Zealand (2026)
The Search
A prolonged period of rain caused this portion of the forest to flood and create an unusual combination of beech trees emerging from the waters. After discovering this scene, I returned at sunrise to capture the morning light as it filtered through the trees. It was an enjoyable to challenge which I only got to attempt once, as the waters receded the following day.

Morning Stretch
The warm, soft light of dawn breaks its way through the canopy and onto the forest floor, where an army of crown ferns relishes the brief embrace.

Leak
A warm morning in the tropics, as light and reflections infuse to create a dreamy scene where this flooded forest resides.

Cling
A rare sight as water droplets are frozen into icy stalactites as they descend a moss covered wall.

Rise Again
The foundation of my photography journey. All these years later, I still return when I can. Sometimes to teach but in this case, it was to share the moment with my son. You can see the making of this image on my Youtube channel here.

Wise One
An ancient creature, residing in the shadows of a steep Fiordland valley. See how this one was created, in my course on forest photography.

Slumber
A quintessential winters morning out in the fiords, where the light is low and the mountains slowly emerge from a misty veil.
Dusky Sound, Fiordland New Zealand (2026)
Holding On
One of the wettest places in New Zealand and also the world. On the far south west corner, of Dusky Sound. here, the forest is as saturated as it can get, with a myriad of green mosses, lichens and intricate branches hanging on until the end.

Foundations
I’m always drawn to the infinite, complex details found in the stones of South Westland.

Cloud Forest
Ancient beech trees stand tall, twisted and contorted by the elements, enduring life atop of the mountains.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2026)
Floating Forest
A prolonged period of rain caused the lake waters to rise and enter into the nearby forest, swallowing the base of these old beech trees. It made for a special moment at dawn, as the light also flooded in. See how this was made, over on my Youtube channel.

Dawn Symphony
After finding this composition one afternoon, I thought it might look nice at dawn, with some colour in the sky. After waiting a couple week for the right conditions, I made the trip out here early one morning and watched this beautiful display unfold. I tend to be more of a spontaneous, reactive photographer but these pre-visualised moments are also very rewarding and fun to do from time to time.

Limbs Of Life
A dusting of gold leaves briefly adorn portions of the silver beech during late autumn, as the air cools and the days are progressively shorter and shorter.
