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

Framed
There’s nothing like the slow, mediative pace of woodland photography.

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.

Redirect
When it comes to capturing the forest and woodlands, it pays to take it slow. The more you look, the more you see. I’ve never quite seen a fern frond do something like this before.

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.

Elected
Stillness and calm, as the light breaks the darkness in the depths of the moss covered forest.

Twist
Light (and shade) is everything in photography, particularly when it comes to tree and woodland photography. For a brief window in time, this small pocket of native woods was incredibly inspiring as the soft light of dusk delicately painted this gum forest beside Lake Macquarie.

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.

Wherever The Light Leads
An image created on a camping trip, where we spent many days walking and exploring the depths of these ancient forests. You connect on a deeper level when you’re living and fully immersed in such places.

Morning Rise
As the morning awakens the sleeping forest. Mist rises and the leaves begin to glow.

Us Two
The greens within the New Zealand forest must be seen to be believed. They are particularly radiant after rain and with some gentle, diffused light.

Family
The wonderfully interconnected life forms of the temperate forest.

Delicate Tapestry
I enjoyed wandering the depths of this dense, dream-like forest as the light crested the nearby mountains and gently warmed the scene.

Radiance
An afternoon spent hiking and wading in the back country led us to this pristine waterfall as the sun descended through the trees. A sceen straight from a dream.

Illumined
Morning light finding its way to these mossy, snow covered creatures which adorn the exposed ridge line of the mountains.

Cascade Bridge
A special place where hidden waters course through the deep depths of the forested mountains. A delicate moss covered arch frames up this spectacular falls. Words or images fail to portray its really beauty. You just need to be there, absorbed in the moment.

Young And Old
Delicate light filtering through the dense forest canopy.

Affinity
Since childhood, I’ve had an affinity for waterfalls. I love the anticipation that builds, hearing the trickle and roar of the water long before the fall is visible. This, like many I visit, is tucked away in the shadows of the mountains. Waiting for wanderers to pass by and enjoy a moment in its presence.

The Light We Seek
On a grey morning I took my boat across the lake and took to the hills, in order to ascend to where the light touched the cloud. After a few kms hiking, I found myself immersed in the beautiful transition where sun pierced the foggy veil.
