Aerial adventures through Southern Alps

There’s nothing like the feeling of a sunrise flight, chasing first light over the Southern Alps as a photographer. Taking off from an airfield in Glenorchy, the landscape below was still hidden in shadow, but the peaks ahead held the promise of something spectacular. With the window folded up for a crystal-clear view, I was ready—camera in hand—to

After my success capturing Santo Island, Vanuatu tourism contracted me to photograph Tanna Island, a place with a reputation for its untamed spirit and incredible natural beauty. With Mt.

Espiritu Santo Island of Vanuatu

My partner jade and I needed to get away and make our first overseas trip since the world shut down, somewhere warm. We had just come out of our winter season in New Zealand and still had snow on the hills, it very much meant our skin hadn’t seen much sun and we were as white as snow.
