Few Are Chosen
Fine complexities deep within the forest.

Winter Coat
During a heavy fall of snow, I made my way into the forest for a brief look at the mountain beech as they were wearing their winter coat. Such beautiful and rare conditions which I thoroughly enjoy capturing.

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.

Wild Waters
The river keeps calling you to the next bend and the minutes slowly turn to hours. These are my places of joy and peace.

Sky Forest
Scarred and battered trees of the mountains, meeting the clouds just after the sun had set.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2026)
Contortion
A run of cold temperatures caused a lot of leaves to turn yellow and die, resulting in a semi-autumnal display of colour, which is not common in the forests of New Zealand. I enjoyed trying to capture this striking splash of yellow amongst the evergreen forest.

Kin
I spent a few hours walking through the hills, trying to get up into the soft fog that was rolling through the forest. This was a scene that caught my eye.

Stand Firm
I came across this large fern tree a few years back and visit it from time to time. It stands alone and firm, commanding the attention of any who may pass by. On this particular afternoon, the light was just right.

Far Away Places
Dense, vibrant forest and fresh flowing water in one of the most remote areas of Fiordland.
Breaksea Sound, New Zealand (2026)
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.

Cloud Forest
Ancient beech trees stand tall, twisted and contorted by the elements, enduring life atop of the mountains.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2026)
Floating Forest
A prolonged period of rain caused the lake waters to rise and enter into the nearby forest, swallowing the base of these old beech trees. It made for a special moment at dawn, as the light also flooded in. See how this was made, over on my Youtube channel.

Immersed
Lush greens thriving in the cool of the valley. One of my favourite environments to be immersed within.

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.

It’s only every few years that the southern beech flowers, so when it does, it is quite spectacular, as the vibrant reds and oranges splash colour across the evergreen forest.

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