Stories
These are personal accounts of my life as a landscape photographer — the journeys I make, the places that shape my way of seeing, and the ideas that emerge from time spent in the field. Some follow expeditions to remote places. Others are quieter, closer to home. All of them reflect what draws me to this work and what I find when I look carefully at the world through a lens.
The Ashburton Lakes: Learning to See Beyond the Reflection
Most people come to the Ashburton Lakes for one thing: the mirror. Golden tussock, a sweep of mountains, water so still it stops your breath.
I went for that too, and got it. But staying longer than the first shot takes led somewhere quieter, through a passing storm and a rainbow, to a morning spent looking straight down at the water instead of out across it.
