Contours
A land of light and atmosphere through a veil of sun kissed cloud.
Charles Sound, Fiordland New Zealand (2021)
Wind Torn
An 800mm long lens perspective of the South summit of Mt Cook, as its blasted by strong winds.
Aoraki (Mt Cook), New Zealand (2021)
Split
The far west, where glaciers once ruled the land and the ocean now drowns the feet of the mountains.
Charles Sound, Fiordland New Zealand (2021)
Essence
A view not beheld by many, of the warm afternoon light and coastal expanses of Fiordland.
Caswell Sound, Fiordland New Zealand (2021)
Where the light is
Above the fog and into the light, one winters afternoon.
Southern Alps, New Zealand (2021)
Rain Tower
A valley filled with the roar of water, echoing in every direction, like a choir bursting out in celebration.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2021)
Words Unspoken
An afternoon that kept on giving, as I found myself speechless, surrounded by a spectacle of light, mountains, atmosphere and water.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2021)
Beyond The Shadows
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.

Risen
As you begin to allow yourself time in nature, you’ll start seeing the world differently and every so often, you’ll come face to face with a sight that will leave a lasting impression, stirring something within. Here is a personal favourite of mine, something of a dream scene that materialised for a few brief minutes and truly is the epitome of what I love and enjoy about the mountains. Single exposure, 400mm perspective.
Fiordland, New Zealand
All Consuming
A favourite mountain of mine, which I’ve shared many moments with. On this winters morning, everything all came together in a wondrous symphony.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Outworld
How small we truly are, looking across a fractured land of ice and stone, set ablaze by the final flickers of evening light.
Upper ice fields, West Coast New Zealand
Guardian Of The Tides
A personal favourite, an expression of my relationship with both the mountains and sea. Here, the waves of the Tasman Sea crash beneath the towering Southern Alps, with Mount Tasman and Cook overlooking the shore. This image began as an idea and vision that finally materialised, after many months and multiple attempts.
Mt Cook and Tasman, West Coast New Zealand
The Gateway
A morning of endless inspiration, as the elements entangled in a grand symphony.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Synergy
The sculpted surfaces of the winter landscape, brought to life in the fullness of light.
Kinloch, New Zealand
Beholden
Quiet waters beneath the grand peaks of the Southern Alps, awoken in the light of a new day.
Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, New Zealand
Oracle
Alone one morning, I was graced with this ephemeral view. A humble bystander as a rare fogbow came to life in the light of a new winters day.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Paradigm
A brief window in time, where mountains rise from a sea of cloud, into in the final rays of the sinking sun.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Oscillation
To me, the great beauty of the Southern Alps is their close proximity to the sea, where the highest peaks rise to a towering 12,000ft above the surface of the water. Finding and accessing locations that reveal this relationship is not simple, but some of these views are the greatest in the country.
Mt Tasman, West Coast New Zealand
Sawtooth
A fleeting window in time, where I was grateful to be a mere bystander amidst a greater work of art.
The Great Divide, New Zealand
Harbinger
A day where light, snow and shadow all danced across the landscape, adorning it in white.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Arcadia
A calm winters afternoon, in the heart of the mountains.
Celmisia/Tikumu beneath Aoraki/Mt Cook, New Zealand
Monarch
The tallest mountains in New Zealand, rising proudly from the lowland forests and lagoon waters on the West Coast.
Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, New Zealand
Purity
The simplistic beauty of winter, decorating a typical Fiordland scene of mountains, forest and light.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Titan
The true north summit of Aoraki/Mt Cook (3724m) captured at dawn using a 800mm perspective. This is certainly my favourite angle of Cook, where the true dominance of its height and beauty is revealed.
Aoraki/Mt Cook, New Zealand
Above The Darkness
Layer upon layer of glaciated mountain valleys.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Upon The Dawn
Compressed mountain layers, captured at 400mm when flying around the summits at 100km/h in a small plane. Lining these up can be a little tricky, particularly when being bounced around by up draughts.
Southern Alps, New Zealand
Time Of Noah
Three times higher than Niagara Falls, here is Stirling Falls in Milford Sound, captured in the midst of a torrential downpour. It’s taken me quite a few years to capture an image here that portrays all that I love about this place.
Milford Sound (2019)
Disappearing Falls
A place where wild seas break at the feet of mountains and waterfalls are lifted into the stormiest of skies.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Pulse
An aerial perspective of the West Coast of New Zealand, looking down upon a light streaked river winding its way from the mountains to the sea.
