At Peace
Many miles from the nearest road, we wandered for many hours following these pristine waters as they coursed through the forested mountainside. These are some of my fondest times and memories.

Wrath
As a professional landscape photographer living in Fiordland, it’s safe to say I’ve visited Milford Sound my fair share of times. Of the hundreds of visits and countless storms, this is one that has left the strongest impression. As 130km/h wind gusts funnelled the fiord, the surface of the sea was uplifted and mingled with rain and waterfalls that ascended into the heavens. A truly humbling display of the sublime.

Luna
I have a handful of moon images in my portfolio which generally were the result of precise planning and plenty of patience. On this such occasion I was out early in winter, preparing for some dawn photography, when I noticed the low angled moon. I quickly made my way a few kilometres down the valley in order to align this with this composition just before the sun broke the horizon. Single exposure, 400mm perspective.

Enter Paradise
A multi-day photography trip where we walked many miles in the wilderness, exploring and being completely immersed in an untamed paradise. This is where I’m closest to the creator.
