It felt as though time had stood still, but for hours we captured the shifting light and crashing waves that helped shaped this lost world of giant sea towers, arches caves.

To Truly See
One of my favourite aspects of being a photographer, is the unforeseen, fleeting moments that await those who wander. In the far reaches of the backcountry, my friends and I stumbled across this natural frame and wonderful light which we were able to capture for just a few brief moments before the show was over. Of all the places in the world, we were there in the exact right moment. Unless we choose to look, we won’t ever truly see.

Refuse to fall
High in the mountains, where the rain quickly turns to snow and the mighty beech trees are shaped and moulded by the elements the can either destroy or strengthen them.

No one knows
Tucked away in the far reaches of the fiords, a small stream gentle winds and falls through the complex Fiordland forest, eventually making its way to the sea.

Cathartic
A scene that is reminiscent of my early photography years in Australia. Here, on an isolated stretch of coastline in New Zealand, these mighty towers pierce the rugged shores for many miles as they endure the relentless elements.

Remnants of a former time, battered and shaped by the relentless elements which scour these distant shores.

At days end
The end of a winters day, making our way back along the lake in my boat. As the mist began to build, this scene emerged for a few brief moments. We were soon inside the hut, fire roaring and warm food in the stomach. The end of another great day.

Soul
This was a spectacular morning we awoke to, with silky calm waters, swirling atmosphere and the soft, warm light of dawn making its way into the fiord.

Valley Of Wonder
Some days you watch the cloud build and know something special is on the way. With just enough time, I made it into the valley to watch this wonderful show unfold. It never gets old.

Far Away Places
Dense, vibrant forest and fresh flowing water in one of the most remote areas of Fiordland.

The Search
A prolonged period of rain caused this portion of the forest to flood and create an unusual combination of beech trees emerging from the waters. After discovering this scene, I returned at sunrise to capture the morning light as it filtered through the trees. It was an enjoyable to challenge which I only got to attempt once, as the waters receded the following day.

Holding On
One of the wettest places in New Zealand and also the world. On the far south west corner, of Dusky Sound. here, the forest is as saturated as it can get, with a myriad of green mosses, lichens and intricate branches hanging on until the end.

Dawn Symphony
After finding this composition one afternoon, I thought it might look nice at dawn, with some colour in the sky. After waiting a couple week for the right conditions, I made the trip out here early one morning and watched this beautiful display unfold. I tend to be more of a spontaneous, reactive photographer but these pre-visualised moments are also very rewarding and fun to do from time to time.

Limbs Of Life
A dusting of gold leaves briefly adorn portions of the silver beech during late autumn, as the air cools and the days are progressively shorter and shorter.

Night Mirror
The aurora was strong enough on this night to extend across to the west, allowing for this rare sight of seeing the lights shine above the Earl mountains.

Elder
One of my favourite sections of forest in Fiordland that is equally beautiful and difficult to capture. After many visits, I finally walked away on this particular afternoon with a couple of frames worth sharing.
