Mirage
A rare, fleeting vision of towering light and ice, that departed shortly after appearing as it was consumed by the regular coastal haze.

Joy
Waterfowl and gulls circled and glided overhead, backlit by an ethereal sunrise I was privileged to behold, with the ocean at my back as I gazed up at the lofty peaks.
Mount Cook and Tasman, West Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Opulence
Alps and ocean, divided by miles of lush temperate rainforest bathed in evening light.
Mount Cook and Tasman, West Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Belief
Where glaciated mountains rise from the depths of lush rainforest and the sun-kissed waters of the ocean dance at their feet. This is the real New Zealand.

The Guardian
The highest of mountains, Aoraki Mt Cook, keeping watch over the shores of the South Island in a purple haze of light and salt.
West Coast, South Island New Zealand (2022)
Celestial
Above a sea of cloud, where mountains reign and the full moon broke the darkness of night. A cherished memory, where many conditions briefly aligned to behold this moment. Aerial perspective, single exposure.

Highest Of Heights
A rare, fleeting moment captured from the air at 10,000ft, as the setting super-moon descends behind Aoraki/Mt Cook right on dawn.
Aoraki/Mt Cook, New Zealand (2021)
Westland
A view showcasing the unique environment of Te Wahipounamu, where lowland forest rises from sea level to tall, glaciated mountains. I found this viewpoint a couple of years earlier, but it took several visits for the right atmosphere and light to come together. Aoraki/Mt Cook is centre of frame under dawn skies.

Outworld
How small we truly are, looking across a fractured land of ice and stone, set ablaze by the final flickers of evening light.

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.

Triumphant
In the dim, pre-dawn light I set out across the smooth glacial waters in my pack raft. The looming faces of the Southern Alps watching over me, as they begin to awaken with the glow of the morning sun. A recent glacial calving deposited towers of ice across the waters, those in the distance stretching over 100ft in height. Around 1km from where I set off, the scene began to ignite, with vibrant light and colour triumphantly awakening the morning.

It’s taken me a couple of years to capture this mountain in a way that reflects my thoughts and emotions when being in its mighty presence. This attempt comes close.
