Fly Free
The freedom found out there, amongst creation. Single exposure, as usual.

Elation
The tail end of a weather system, as the light made it’s triumphant arrival right on dusk. You can see how this image was made and weather forecasted over on my Youtube.

Coastal Cliffs
Enjoying some family time on the beach, I happened to turn back and notice this striking angle of the looming cliffs nearby. The next afternoon I made the return, with the light exactly as I hoped and envisioned. Within 5 minutes I had made this frame and was content to call it a day. On rare occasions, everything falls into place.

A hidden coastline gracefully fortified by dense forest, bathing in the rays of the evening sun.

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.

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.

Aardvark
There’s no name other images of this sea stack, so I’m calling it Aardvark Rock. It’s hard to gauge the scale here with the wide angle lens but this rock stands at least 20 metres tall, in fact I climbed up and easily stood inside the arch on the bottom right. Battered and scarred by the relentless seas off the coast of New Zealand, I can’t imagine what this remnant has witnessed and endured over the years.

Through the storm
A stretch of remote coast that myself and a friend have visited several times, exploring the numerous remnants that rise from these jagged shores. On this morning we headed directly into a deep storm that created some incredible light and also had as seeking emergency shelter within a nearby, cave if we were to be stranded. We were able to make it out but I wouldn’t have minded either way.
