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.

I’m fascinated by the beauty and contrast of textures found within the Australian bush. The gum trees make for a particularly wonderful subject.

Two Towers
A location that I’m quite sentimental about, as this is where I spent much of my early days of photography before moving to New Zealand. I must’ve seen well over 100 sunrises here and taught many, many workshops over the years. Cathedral Rocks, a place that boasts many compositional options and has been a real joy to work with for almost 15 years. After all this time, I was still inspired and excited to photograph here, especially after such a long time between visits. I shared this morning with my daughter and I was a little emotional thinking about my life and all that led me to this particular point. I’m thankful to have this image to help me freeze the moment in time.

Milo
A tribute to my best bud. After 13 years of companionship, we said goodbye to our chocolate lab, Milo. I created this image almost 10 years ago but never processed or published it. Now, it serves as a fond memory of the many sunrises and adventures we shared together. Milo was by my side, every step of the way until the end. Thank you for your love and loyalty.
Single exposure.

There’s a very small window of opportunity, when the sun skims across the surface of the sea shortly after rising. Before too late, this sculpture arose into the glorious light. You can see the making of this image over on my youtube channel.
