Heavenly
Everything is set ablaze in a emblazoned glow, as the high cloud catches the fleeting rays of sunlight.
Mighty
An ancient beech tree, catching the warmth of autumns soft light. It’s a special time of year as the days are shorter and the air crisper.

Sky Lights
I’m very fortunate to have witnessed many displays of the aurora as it dances, flashes and pulses across the sky. Each time is different and varies but all are special, particularly when the lights traverse high across the sky, allowing for images to be made facing various directions.

In The Shadows
I often take my boat out into Fiordland, parking up on shorelines and following creeks and streams, wandering through the dense forest as I search and anticipate discoveries such as this. See the video on my Youtube channel.

From A Higher Place
As the rain falls from above, the towering, granite cliffs and mountains of Fiordland weep with water.

Above The Trees
A special mountain view we found after hiking uphill for several hours. Breaking above the treeline, this mighty peak was a welcomed sight and one that I’d wanted to try and capture for some time. You can view this trip and making of this image here, on my Youtube channel.

The Roman Arch
The ‘Roman Arch’ located in the Fiordland wilderness, overlooking lake Te Anau. This unique landmark was first discovered by early explorer Thomas Mackenzie and has since fallen into obscurity. My friend Dave and I hiked and camped out to capture this unusual monument and were gifted a phenomenal sunset. You can view the whole story and process on my Youtube channel.

Final Flame
A sky that left us speechless, in a place that needs no introduction. After all these years, it still takes my breath away, especially when the sky is set ablaze in such glory.

Only For A Moment
In the shadows of the mountains the forest thrives, soaking up the fleeting moments of light.

Light Break
The weather and light moves fast in Fiordland. One of the best approaches for any artist is to be spontaneous, simply letting the light lead the dance. Moments like this arise and vanish within seconds.

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

Seafall
A waterfall plunging from the dense forest straight into the sea, on a rainy day. Where else but Fiordland!

Dancing With Light
Some of the most fun I’ve had with the camera, wandering without a thought or regard for time in awe of the light and creatures of the forest.

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.

No Doubt
The setting sun igniting the waters of the Tasman Sea and mountain framed passage of the fiord.

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.

Tangled
The forest is beautifully chaotic. Here is another attempt at capturing such complexity which typifies these wild areas of the fiords.

Where We Wander
An enjoyable morning spent boating into the wilderness, then hiking and wading to follow this beautiful stream with my son. You can check out the vlog over on my Youtube channel.
