Tranquility
In the far, remote shores of Wet Jacket Arm in the Fiordland wilderness. A special place where rainforest greets the edge of the sea and mountains rise from the deepest of depths.

Glow Of The Dawn
There's not much that compares to being greeted by a red glow on the horizon, as you peer out of your tent in the early hours of the morning. As the water boils for your coffee, the light slowly spreads and ignites the entire sky. A wilderness show like no other.

An image of my favourite animal, the mischievous and endangered mountain parrot, the Kea. Photographed here in its natural habitat, beside towering mountains, waterfalls and beautiful Fiordland forest. Although they usually prefer to be eating my camera gear, vehicle (or anything prohibited), this fellow proudly posed 2 feet in front of me. Thank you mate!

Fiordland is a place where no two days are ever the same, an expansive landscape of shifting shadows and fleeting light. This image was captured from the air late one summer’s afternoon as the sun casts its final rays of light over Dusky Sound. Another rare and elusive moment hidden from the rest of the world and experienced only by a select few who may have had the pleasure of calling this place home for a short window in time

Shore Of The Ancients
Along a stretch of desolate and remote coastline, this perfect family of resilient towers arise on the the shore. There’s been several attempts but three years on after my friend Marc Adamus and I first discovered this location, I was finally able to capture something here that provides a glimpse of the majesty of this lost coast.

Very early on a summers morning, whilst most people were still in bed, we watched in awe as this wondrous scene unfolded high above the mountains.
