Sea of stone
Mount Cook centred above the glaciated sea of stone, that is the Southern Alps.

Valor
Whether above the craggy peaks or below in the lush valleys, Fiordland has a way of impacting the soul of all who are exposed to its timeless beauty. Captured at dawn, this is my favourite mountain on earth, Mount Tutoko.
Uniformity
As the rain subsides and makes its way through the valleys and out to sea, the forest is cleansed and the cycle continues.

Valley of the fiord
10,000 ft up, looking across the steep valleys to the high throne of Fiordland with Mount Tutoko and Madeline standing above the sea of petrified stone.

Golden
The changing of seasons and embrace of the sinking autumn sun.

The Wall
Across the raging waters of the sea, beholding the humbling sight of countless waterfalls plummeting over a thousand feet into the deep waters below.

Light & Life
Looking west from the Earl mountains, toward the incredibly still and reflective waters of Lake Te Anau.

Piopiotahi (Milford Sound)
The glorious cathedral of shadow and light. the mighty fiord, bathed in the glow of an autumnal dusk. It’s a place that never fails to leave an impression on those that have spent time beneath it’s towering granite walls. For me, this was one such time.

Endurance
Soldiers of trees supporting each other in an underground network of roots, captured here in a combination of snow, wind, rain and glimpses of light.

Dream
I do enjoy the sweet, candy-like smell of a field lupin. I made a couple of morning trips to scout around the valleys over summer. After some river fords, this area was most exceptional for the vibrant flowers that stretched off into the horizon.

Epiphany
This was a fine Spring morning from the foothills, watching the morning light awaken the high peaks that were once carved from expansive glaciers. The impressive Mount Christina is in the centre.

Invicta
Mount Madeleine, rising from the valleys below in the land of shadows.

Finding Eternity
This particular afternoon was a real humbling and stirring experience. Looking down upon the glacially carved landscape of Fiordland after a clearing storm.

The Forsaken
This family of colossal remains is simply phenomenal, rising tall on an isolated cove in the far reaches of New Zealand. I had the pleasure of exploring these areas with Marc Adamus on some scouting trips, with both of us declaring these coastlines to just about be the very best in the world for seascape photography. No doubt there will be more to come from here.

Redeemer
I’ve been chasing this moment for a solid year, since the prior winter when I took the time to properly admire Mount Talbot. I’ve had a dozen attempts across all the seasons but it was when tracking this overnight winter storm that I knew something special would transpire. Wading the river at dawn, visibility was gone but I knew the warmth of the sun would bring darkness to light. The atmosphere and clearing couldn’t have been any better, so I’m finally happy to share something from this beautiful part of Fiordland.

King Of The Fiords
The middle of winter as sunset ignites the sky and ignites the western face of Fiordlands tallest mountain, Mt Tutoko. The night was spent tucked in my bag on the snow, watching the core of the Milky Way traverse the sky.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Destined
Darkness below, light above. Such are the mountains of our lives.

Elevate
The epitome of peace, humbled by quintessential Fiordland scenery.
