After countless trips to Zabriskie point over the past 25 years, we finally got to see a different side to this iconic location – thick fog, crawling across the floor of Death Valley at sunrise, wrapping the hills in mystery.

Between Two Worlds – The Floating Torii of Itsukushima Shrine
Capturing minimalist views in the mist, Itsukushima’s floating torii feels like a gateway on Miyajima – between the calm of the sky and the chaos of our world below.
Milford Sound – The Superstar of New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park
Standing tall and majestic in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, the peaks that surround Milford Sound can capture light in truly magnificent ways throughout the year…
Roy’s Peak – Another of New Zealand’s (now) cliché locations
Over-used by cliché wedding photographers, over-“influenced” by millions of instagrammers and over-sold around the world by tourism boards, this once peaceful hiking trail and overlook across Lake Wanaka has sadly now become a magnet for “look at me” shots worldwide. Beautiful though it is, Roy’s Peak has fallen victim to the same challenges faced by “that Wanaka tree” and many other tourist traps nearby – the result of huge popularity following the publishing of (what were […]
9 Years in the Making : Fog City – San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge
There’s always that one shot, for every photographer out there – “the one” that just keeps getting away, the one that’s never quite right when you click the button, or the one that’s impossible to find the right conditions to capture. For me, that shot has been the same for over 9 years now: San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in the fog. Finally, one random winter’s afternoon, I managed to break that spell – and shoot […]
Yosemite National Park – Capturing the Valley in Winter
Ah, Yosemite – a “photographer’s paradise” (as claimed), but a location which can equally be the stuff of a photographer’s nightmares… On what must now be my 7th or 8th time of visiting, I was determined on this occasion to get at least one shot which stood out from the millions of picture-postcard views and Ansel Adams “tributes” that I see far too often. In one single frame, almost by accident, I managed it – […]
Myst – The willow trees of Glenorchy, New Zealand
The bitterness of the cold winter mist across Lake Wakatipu in Glenorchy is the strongest memory I have of taking this photograph. Granted, it’s turned out better than I could have hoped for given my initial trip to these famous willow trees the night before – but wow, the weather really made me work for it. “Myst” – print available to buy now The shot above, “myst” was actually taken around 7:30am, just before sunrise, and […]
Portal – Capturing Xingping, the Guilin Mountains that Reach Up to the Sky
As they say, there are three types of lies in this world: Lies, damned lies and… weather reports. If I’d actually paid attention to the forecast, I would never have witnessed (let alone photographed) this scene in Xingping, near Guilin in Southern china. Titled “portal”, this image represents a painful 3 days with almost no sleep – so maybe I’m too attached to it – but still, I do love that view. While my inability to speak […]
