I'm a passionate landscape photographer with a love for the outdoors and sharing the magnificence of God's creation through my photography.

I've been a professional for over 20 years and with my amazing team, currently operate 2 retail galleries in Victoria and Queensland, Australia. Originally from Melbourne but now settled with my family on the Sunshine Coast, I specialise in traditional landscapes but also enjoy aerial photography from helicopters, planes and drones. Particularly, colourful abstracts of salt lakes, mines and braided rivers.

I've never been interested in how a camera works; for me it's just a tool that allows me to capture special moments in time and share them with the world. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that my work is a testament to the truth and power of God and his incredible creation.

Through the ongoing support of my print collectors and workshop participants, I am incredibly grateful to be able to travel extensively almost year round and enjoy striving to capture new and original work whenever possible.

Enchantment (Gold Award Winner)

What an incredible experience, descending into this remarkable Ice Cave below Vantnajokull Glacier was like entering a fairy tale.

Captured in February 2018, there have now been 2 Iceland Summers since and I’m told this cave has now melted significantly. How incredibly blessed I am to have been able to visit and capture it.

Walking across glaciers has always been a personal fear of mine. I’ve heard too many stories of people disappearing into snow covered crevasses, never to be seen again!

When I learnt that accessing the best ice caves in Iceland required a 7km return hike across Europe’s largest glacier I wrestled with the idea for quite some time. I just knew though that if I wanted to capture a unique photograph of an ice cave, I was going to have to conquer my fear.

This was my first trip to Iceland and I was travelling with a close friend from New Zealand. Self-driving around the region in the middle of a sub-arctic Winter is not for everyone, we experienced regular blizzards with white-out conditions and gale force winds so strong they have been known to burst windscreens right out of people's cars while driving. Suffice to say, it was an adventure every day before we even left the highway!

Accessing Iceland's ice caves safely is easier said than done. Firstly, you need to be there during Winter, secondly there can't be any rain forecast and thirdly you usually need to have booked a trip well in advance with one of the few licensed, local operators.

Midway through our trip the weather conditions were looking good so we proceeded with a private tour with Siggi, a friendly local guide from Hofn that we had booked a few weeks prior. Siggi drove us across Vatnajokull glacier in his Super Jeep right up to the entrances of 2 of the most accessible ice caves near Jokulsarlon, the Crystal Cave and Black Ice (or Anaconda) Ice Cave. Both caves were beautiful but with many vistors each week they lacked the beauty and feeling of isolation that I was after.

We returned to our accommodation that night and after reviewing my shots felt a real urge to try and access more remote ice caves. I had been researching online some of the longer hikes out to the more remote ice caves

I teamed up with some awesome local guides and despite the challenge of my first time hiking in crampons, the weather behaved and I arrived in no time at all.

On entering the caves underneath the Glacier it was like being in another dimension. As the sun began to set, beautiful warm light shone through the entrance bouncing off the walls made of ice. It was like being on another planet!

Reef Dreaming (Gold Award Winner)

While researching ideas to photograph the Great Barrier Reef I decided that the best way to capture it would be from above. This was my first Aerial shoot and it was quite challenging with a panoramic rangefinder camera that normally requires the use of a tripod for long exposures.

During early 2010 I commenced a four week road trip from my home town of Melbourne all the way to Cairns. I planned to organise a private helicopter charter during the trip to shoot the Great Barrier Reef however the charter was almost cancelled due to an unforeseen car breakdown and inclement weather. Luckily though, after waiting for almost a week, 3 days of calm weather were forecast so I booked a helicopter charter and prayed for perfect conditions. Well my prayers were certainly answered!

With much anticipation leading up to the flight, it was all over very quickly. Flying at 3000 feet hanging out of a helicopter without doors is certainly not for the faint hearted, but it sure was an experience that I will never forget! This was the very first shot that I captured once the helicopter took off and was the only one of this part of the reef. In fact with only 4 shots on each roll of film I ended up with a total of only 12 shots to choose from.

After viewing this photograph it is obvious that the Great Barrier Reef must be viewed from above to be fully appreciated.

Craig's Hut (Silver Award Winner)

Craigs Hut became famous for it's role in the blockbuster movie 'The Man From Snowy River' which was filmed here in the eighties. The hut is located at a place called 'Clear Hills' near the summit of Mt. Stirling in the Victorian high country and offers superb panoramic views across the Victorian alps.

Although I have visited Craig's Hut many times, this photograph is of very special significance to me as it took over 3 years to visualise, research, plan and then finally capture. Although Craig's Hut receives snow occasionally during Winter, the road is closed at the entrance to Mt. Stirling from the start of the ski season right through to November making it very difficult to obtain access unless you are super fit and well trained in the use of snow shoes or cross country skis. Either option was not really viable for me as I have around 15kg of camera equipment alone and when visiting a location like Craigs Hut I wanted to make sure I could bring supplies and camping gear to stay at least a few days and improve my chances of capturing some magic light.

I eventually figured out a way to gain access with all my gear and was ready to go in late August 2009. The only problem was it had been a very poor ski season on Mt Stirling and there wasn't any snow at Craigs Hut. In fact worse still, the long range snow forecasters were predicting that the ski season was pretty much over for the year. It was looking like I was going to have to wait yet another year to capture my dream shot!

Despite the dire predictions, I kept an eye on the forecasts every morning and a week or so before the end of September I awoke to some great news! My prayers had been answered, they were predicting 2-3 days of heavy snow down to very low levels over the grand final weekend. I immediately cleared my schedule and started planning the trip. Camping in the snow is not something for the faint hearted so I had to make sure I had suitable gear for the job.

The day after it stopped snowing, a close friend and I embarked on our journey and arrived to a magnificent 30cm of snow surrounding Craigs Hut. We settled in for a few days and I have to say the serenity of the place was simply amazing.

After setting our gear up, I immediately scoped out the area for potential compositions. Getting a fresh, new unique composition of Craig's Hut is easier said than done as the hut seems to work best around sunset from the western side, which is where most photographers shoot from. I thought I would try something different and focused my time on a new composition at sunrise from close in to the hut on the eastern side.

I rose at 5AM every morning in freezing conditions to shoot my chosen composition at sunrise. On the 2nd morning I awoke to the beginnings of a beautiful red sunrise. The snow had started to melt a little during the previous day but there was still plenty to capture this breathtaking shot of Craigs Hut.

By the 3rd day, most of the snow had melted leaving only small patches around the hut. Content with the conditions from the previous morning we packed up our gear and returned home to develop my film.

There is always a degree of anxiety when I get my film developed as there are so many things that could go wrong during the complicated process of shooting with a panoramic range finder camera. I had nothing to worry about though, as the shot came out just as planned, God had delivered all the conditions that I required to capture this beautiful location.
