ABOUT

Introduction

As a landscape photographer, my passion is deeply rooted in a profound respect for the natural world. From unspoiled wilderness to tranquil landscapes, each image I capture aims to convey the true essence of the moment, as if you, the viewer, were standing right beside me.

In the Field

My commitment to the environment begins long before I press the shutter. Adhering to Nature First principles, I prioritise the well-being of nature, continually educate myself about the locations I photograph, and reflect on the potential impacts of my actions. I diligently follow Leave No Trace principles, ensuring that my presence supports conservation and minimises impact.

Photographic Process

The integrity of my photographs is paramount. My editing process is designed to faithfully reflect the landscape I experienced during my shoots. I employ techniques like focus stacking and exposure blending to overcome the camera’s limitations and capture what the human eye naturally sees. Transient, non-defining elements are occasionally removed to clean up visual distractions, but always in a way that maintains the scene’s authenticity. I am committed to ensuring that all post-processing preserves the truth of the landscape, enhancing the viewer’s experience without ever misleading or artificially altering its essence. This commitment ensures my images can confidently be used by viewers, collectors, or organisations as true representations of nature.

Sharing My Work

I share my work thoughtfully, particularly mindful of the locations I depict, to avoid overexposure and protect their natural beauty. Sensitive areas are kept confidential to prevent over-visitation and preserve their natural beauty. Through various platforms—be it workshops, social media, or public speaking—I actively promote ethical photography practices, educating others about the importance of conservation and responsible engagement with nature.

Supporting Conservation Efforts

My photography is intertwined with support for environmental organisations that align with my values, including Dark Sky Tasmania and the Wilderness Society’s campaign for a Dark Sky Reserve in Southwest National Park. These collaborations are deeply meaningful, allowing me to use my work to advocate for conservation and promote sustainable tourism effectively.

Vision

Thank you for joining me on this meaningful journey to appreciate and preserve our beautiful planet. Through my photography, I strive not only to document but also to protect the incredible landscapes we admire, ensuring they continue to inspire awe for generations to come. Let us collectively celebrate and protect the beauty of our natural world—one photograph at a time.
