Reach
Beholding sun and storm, these towers rise to the sky on a secluded shoreline in the Fiordland wilderness, reaching for any glimpse of light. Like us all.

Stand Alone
Life and hope, on a stretch of desolate shore.
Golden Bay, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Not Yet Lost
A shore of ancient ruins, torn from the land and sculpted by the sea. Bruised but not broken, their beauty and might is not yet lost.
Fiordland Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
The Gift Of Light
I’m privileged to have beheld such skies may times, but each time always feels like the first. As cloud, water and land reflect and glow the atmospheric fire for a brief moment in time.
Karitane, New Zealand (2022)
Belief
Where glaciated mountains rise from the depths of lush rainforest and the sun-kissed waters of the ocean dance at their feet. This is the real New Zealand.
Mount Cook, West Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
The Silent Teacher
A simple scene of stone and sea, on a remote coastal wilderness on the far south of Fiordland. Without speech, these resilient rocks have a way of speaking volumes to me.
Fiordland Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Set Fire
A blast of blazing light cast upon the shore, one winters afternoon on a remote shoreline in the deep south.
Masons Bay, Stewart Island South Island New Zealand (2022)
The Guardian
The highest of mountains, Aoraki Mt Cook, keeping watch over the shores of the South Island in a purple haze of light and salt.
West Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Letting go
The subtle retreat and refraction of light.
Bruce Bay, South Island New Zealand (2022)
The Calm
The often ink like and eerily calm waters of the inner fiords can easily fool you to thinking you’re inland and not on the surface of the sea. Although the occasional gull, dolphin or seal have a way of breaking the silence to remind you.

Gold Coast
The late summers sun makes its way to the horizon, painting the land, sea and sky in a golden palete fit for royalty.
Motukiekie, West Coast New Zealand (2022)
Upon The Sand
Sand and light, beside the edge of the sea once winters afternoon as the sun began to descend.
Masons Bay, Stewart Island South Island New Zealand (2022)
Survival
A lone pinnacle of rock, continues to withstand the storm, refusing to fall.
Karitane, New Zealand (2022)
Energy
Sun, waves, bird-life and remnants of a former time. An endless energy set in motion, which we are but humble participants.
Motukiekie, West Coast New Zealand (2022)
Emerald Wave
A momentary figure of water and light.
St Clair Beach, Dunedin South Island New Zealand (2022)
Creation From Destruction
The ongoing erosion and scarring of storms, has slowly shaped and worn upon this vast coastal wilderness. A relatable process that can initially seem destructive on the surface, but in time, gives way to a marvellous new creation.
Fiordland Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Water And Light
The surface of the sea, adorned in a golden flood of light.
Gemstone Beach, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Aloft
Water, mountains and a flood of glorious light across a land once born from adversity.
Jackson Bay, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Timeless
As the sun made it’s awaited descent, I sat and beheld the colours spread and transform in both water and sky. A mere bystander in a seemingly timeless scene of beauty and peace.
Motukiekie, West Coast New Zealand (2022)
Shore Of The Ancients
Along a stretch of desolate and remote coastline, this perfect family of resilient towers arise on the the shore. There’s been several attempts but three years on after my friend Marc Adamus and I first discovered this location, I was finally able to capture something here that provides a glimpse of the majesty of this lost coast.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2021)
Until The Very End
Ancient ruins located in one of the NZ’s most remote areas. Battered and scarred by regular storms and raging seas, these towers refuse to fall.

Kingdom Of The Sea
The warmth of morning light, awakening the sea from the darkness of night.

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
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
Relic
A survivor from the past, underneath the soft skies of the north.
Husavik, Iceland
The Wreck Of Hope
The title of this is inspired by the 19th century painting by Caspar Friedrich. Birds filled the sky and seals darted across the waters as the afternoon light flooded the landscape behind Jokulsarlon in Iceland. An ever changing scene that was soon gone. A glacial tongue can be seen in the distance, in the land of fire and ice.
Jokulsarlon, Iceland
Dusk
The remote, south west corner of Fiordland. An expanse of fiords and islands that are too wild, rugged and remote to be settled. So, nature reigns supreme, with storms often flooding and transforming the landscape, this golden afternoon being a rare exception.
