Written for Photo Review 2018 In equal parts I love photography and adventure, so trips that involve both are a perfect fit for me. Some of my best, most popular photographs are those which take the viewer on a journey to a place rarely seen or hard-to-come-by. I realised this after receiving such an incredible…
DetailsIt’s hard not to be excited seeing my images in such a great photography magazine! Many thanks to Photo Review for the interview and for featuring several images in your magazine, including the front cover. I couldn’t be happier. If you want to read about my story, how I got started out, what drives and inspires me,…
DetailsWell I’ve had my fun with the Sony A7r. I was tempted like so many and for a brief moment I was a Sony shooter. I loved the little camera…but that love was short lived. I’ve learnt my lesson, the grass certainly isn’t greener and the Sony is gone. Sold to the next photographer that…
DetailsEver since I started weighing all my gear for winter hiking and camping in the mountains, I’ve been really conscience of reducing the load I’m carrying. It has actually been quite enlightening (or should that be lightening). I no longer feel the need to lug around all this heavy gear. I can get away with…
DetailsAs always the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s yearly awards, the APPA’s brought a roller coaster of emotions. Of the four prints I was entering, two I was pretty happy about. Usually this would be of more concern to me however I didn’t feel I had many strong images ready this year and I would…
DetailsI finally made it to India! So happy to have visited this magical country all be it for a brief time. It has given me a taste the country and left me wanting more. With limited shooting time I decided to take a car away from the obvious and less interesting tourist spots. Instead I…
DetailsWith the advent of better camera technology and clever processing software, do we really need neutral density filters any more? Can’t we just replicate the effect of filters in Photoshop or even in camera? Isn’t the dynamic range sufficient in my shiny new Sony camera? Well yes and no… Graduated Neutral Density filters I used…
DetailsI’ve been busy planning a two week trip to Iceland starting in a matter of days. It’s a bit daunting when planning such trips. You know nothing about the place, what to expect, where to go, how best to spend your time, what everything will cost, and how to fit it all in. After much…
DetailsI’m a bit late to the game but i finally bought me a Sony camera. Yep, it’s heralded as the ultimate landscape photography camera, the Sony A7r. You mean the Sony A7rII? Erm no, sorry, not the much hyped Mark II version, but the years old Mark I. There are a number of reasons why…
DetailsWinter camping in sub zero temperatures is not something you should commit to light heartedly. It requires lots of planning, and very specific knowledge and equipment. Neglecting anyone of these can have dire consequences. I don’t say this to scare you, or for shock value. In reality you are going to a very hazardous environment…

DetailsWhat’s happened in 2014 It’s the end of 2014 and time to reflect on what I’ve achieved in the last year. It’s been a funny year for me after relocating to Nice, France in January. I’ve been somewhat unsettled learning a new language, and culture. I’ve taken a back seat business-wise, spending a lot of…
DetailsI had been saving this image for the AIPP APPA photography awards. Photographers entering these awards try to get the edge and submit images that haven’t been seen anywhere before. Yes even APPA judges go on Facebook! So here it is, my pride and joy that received a Silver Award. This is a great result…
DetailsHot off the press, well more lukewarm is this months Australian Geographic. I’ve just received my copy in France as it features two of my photographs inside! What a great feeling to see your images in print instead of locked up on a hard drive. I must do this more often… I wish my Grandfather was still around to…
DetailsArmed with two cameras, we set off before 5am to explore Cappadocia by hot air balloon. We met our hot air balloon in a field on the outskirts of Göreme. I had never flown(?) in a hot air balloon before. The whole experience was just amazing. The take off and landing were barely noticeable and…
