We are of a large island.  That provides endless contrast of earth and sea.  An erosion that seems somehow slower than time yet inevitable.

The Milky Way has always fascinated me.

There is nothing more humbling than sitting under a big sky out bush stargazing.

It really brings into context our place, how small we are and how short our time.

A historic coastal cemetery provides the ideal location to contrast western burial iconography against ever changing skies.

Two already powerful and evocative subjects combine, elevating the suggestion of flight and transcendence.

A newborn baby evokes some of the most powerful emotions possible.

The innocence, openness and vulnerability

I prefer to work with natural light and settings, and to observe and capture largely undirected interactions between the parents and their precious newborn.

This provides the environment in which to capture a more authentic record of this very special time, when life-long bonds are being formed.

As gender roles continue to evolve, I like to place a slight increase in focus on a father’s early interactions with his child, contrasting their strength and masculinity with newfound sensitivities.

Storms provide one of the most unpredictable, dynamic and spectacular subjects for photographers to capture.

Each storm has a unique form and extreme character.  The senses are rarely more heightened than during a storm shoot.
