Higher Places
Above darkness and into the fleeting light.
Fiordland, New Zealand (2024)
Beyond The Ether
Fresh snow and one of the most spectacular light shows I’ve beheld, as the sun set and ignited the clearing storm cloud. Seeing all the elements aligning I knew something special was on the way, so I made the last minute decision to take to the sky for this one. Taking my family with me, it was truly a special moment to share.

Milford Sound
Being a local to Fiordland and through running photography workshops, I find myself in Milford Sound many times through the year. This grand landscape is always inspiring and on occasion still urges me to take out my camera to at least try and capture its beauty. This sunset was one such moment.

Steam
A fortress of rock separating the east and west, this chain of mountains in Fiordland is commonly covered in cloud and hammered by relentless winds. So after several attempts, this rare evening was greatly appreciated, as the sun began to set and the mountain summits began to steam in the light.

Extolment

The Way Of Light
The most magnificent of light is found at the clearing of a storm, right as the sun sinks down to the horizon.

Breaksea
An angle of Fiordland I’ve attempted to shoot several times, but being one of the worlds wettest locations, the task was easier said than done. During winter, clear spell opened up, with light leaking over the southern ranges above the Broughton Arm, at Breaksea Sound.

Together forever
I’ve enjoyed photographing these old trees for years, since I first picked up a camera really. On this particular afternoon I was home watching a storm roll through and could see the faintest of breaks in the cloud, low on the horizon. Despite having a million other things to do, I took off in the car with hope that the low lying sun would eventually make its way through. As you can, everything lined up on this occasion, resulting in spectacular sunset that even had a rainbow out east. These moments are rare but landscape photography is all about the pursuit of such instances. A special thanks to my wife who has supported me through the years, whether near or far.

Together As One
Storms come and go but light remains, as it did on this particular afternoon when the setting sun found it’s way through the cloud above and made for one of the grandest sunsets I’ve beheld.

Shrouded Gods
This was our third trip to the national park and very reminiscent of our previous treks with scorching summer heat, scratched up legs and some of Australia’s finest mountain and wilderness views. Summiting the Castle and Mt Nibelung on our last visits, we headed further north this time and ascended the ‘Shrouded God’s’ mountain. After a failed attempt on day 1 we ended up admitting defeat and sleeping inside a cave just a few mere vertical metres below the summit. With the protective shade from the cave, we both managed the one of the biggest sleeps we’ve had in years, waking refreshed and determined to make it to the top. We eventually made it up and were welcomed by much grander views than below. The thick scrub still made it difficult to traverse as far east as I would’ve liked so we made it as far as we could and set up camp tucked away in a cosy corner of scrub.The weather fluctuated quite a bit through the next 24 hours and by sunset things moved very fast. Within an hour the sky went from 100% clear to visibility being reduced to just a few feet in front of us. Fortunately it was quite atmospheric and I managed to capture one image I liked just as the last light of day ignited the western face of the iconic Castle.

This remains one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever witnessed. Running short on time, I managed to quickly make it down here to my local to watch the glory unfold.

Know hope
One of the most moving experiences I have had with a camera. After a rough week, I was eager to escape and spend some time by the sea. After work I made my way to the beach. As the sun began to set I noticed this rock shelf far in the distance and then suddenly a small rainbow appeared on the horizon. I ran as fast as I could across the beach. What was only 300 meters or so felt like a marathon. After slipping and sliding across the mossy rocks, I stood before this scene. With the ocean raging, a storm looming overhead and a bow of light out at sea, I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders as I was reminded why I loved photography so much.

Tree of life
I grew up passing by this tree on a daily basis and always thought it would make a great subject for a painting or photo. Many years later, not long after picking up a camera, I ventured here and captured this simple photo. It remains the oldest image in my portfolio yet one of the most special to me. In this moment I realised the power and joy of photography, how we can make our visions a reality and share with others how we truly see the world.
