I started photography at an early age. My Dad, a keen amateur photographer, gave me a camera to try out when I showed interest in photography. I was eight years old, overwhelmed until I clicked my way through forty exposures. I still remember the excitement of getting my first set of blurry, lop-sided prints back from the lab; I was hooked!
From that day forward, photography followed me through life and played a role in my creative path to becoming a graphic artist. I spent many years in the darkroom working with large-format graphic cameras enlarging film and bromides. Eventually, I started my own graphics and printing business. I am fortunate to have experienced the industry’s transition from analogue to digital and the advent of the first digital cameras. The new skills acquired from maintaining computers and networks led to opportunities later in the emerging IT sector.
Today I use high-end digital cameras and produce ultra-high-resolution images, often using long-exposure techniques, and I continue to shoot film in between.
My day begins at 4am. The solitude and tranquillity of the early morning provide a unique opportunity to appreciate the often-ignored beauty of my surroundings. This applies to wherever I happen to be, and for me, there is no better way to start the day.
Let the day begin!

The golden glow of the setting sun reflects off the mountains, painting the fleeting clouds in shades of orange and pink. The partly unveiled mountains stand majestically and are mirrored in the calm waters. This was one of those moments when the raw beauty of Milford Sound was on display, evolving with each passing second and reaching sublime tranquillity at sunset. Due to the rugged terrain, this happens quickly, and the sky settles into darkness moments later.

When weather systems pass through Milford Sound, isolated misty rain falls softly, and low clouds wrap around the mountainous terrain, transforming it into a scene of epic grandeur. Often hailed as the eighth wonder of the world, its breathtaking beauty reaches new heights under these dramatic conditions and changes throughout the day.

Strolling along the Cleddau River, surrounded by mountains and rainforest and moss-covered rocks, feels like stepping into another world. The journey from Te Anau is mesmerising, but nothing compares to the awe-inspiring beauty of New Zealand`s Fiordland.

Subzero temperatures become irrelevant when your senses are overwhelmed. In the shadow of the mountains, I feel truly alive, humbled by the awe-inspiring landscape that reminds me of my own insignificance.

Clouds settle in the Eglinton Valley of Fiordland National Park, creating a mystical atmosphere that enhances the natural beauty and sets the stage for the breathtaking vistas ahead. The road to Milford Sound offers a prelude to the awe-inspiring landscapes that await, with winter weather adding a dramatic touch.

A four-minute exposure enhances the stillness of the moment. Pink hues, mountain views, calm water, and a pastel sky with a chill in the air are a great combination to welcome the day.
