All is not lost
An incredibly moving experience I had, one summers afternoon. I really don’t know what to say about this moment, I think I’ll keep it short to avoid coming across as pretentious. Although surrounded by chaos, howling wind, rain and consuming darkness, I felt entirely at peace during this shoot. Accepting what I cannot control, humbled by the relentless forces that remind me of my place in this world. A warm glow appeared followed by a full bow stretching across the horizon. Mid way through my exposure darkness became light with the first bolt from the sky, the second following within the next minute. A graceful reminder and assurance to keep chasing, pursuing and desiring the presence of something much greater than I. View the behind the scenes here.

Liberate
A beautifully chaotic moment, off the coast of NSW whilst on a road trip with my wife and son. After a big year of travel it was nice to visit locations closer to home and still be inspired by what nature had to offer. I watched this storm roll in at sunset and then it moved out to sea, continuing to illuminate the sky throughout the night.

Until the end
Standing here before the raging sea, surrounded by the ancient, scarred basalt is nothing short of humbling. I find an indescribable sense of hope in these resilient places, despite our failures, nature finds a way. Until the end.

Ancient Of Days
Sculpted by the waves of times past, sitting as one with this earthen shore. Defenseless as the night sky is pierced from east to west, utterly reminded of our mortal existence.

Ascension
A temporary sea sculpture gracing me with its presence for a mere 1/1000 of a second. Despite it’s short life, I found myself impacted for much longer. Even the briefest encounters, shortest of words, faintest of smiles can go a long way.

Know hope
One of the most moving experiences I have had with a camera. After a rough week, I was eager to escape and spend some time by the sea. After work I made my way to the beach. As the sun began to set I noticed this rock shelf far in the distance and then suddenly a small rainbow appeared on the horizon. I ran as fast as I could across the beach. What was only 300 meters or so felt like a marathon. After slipping and sliding across the mossy rocks, I stood before this scene. With the ocean raging, a storm looming overhead and a bow of light out at sea, I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders as I was reminded why I loved photography so much.
