Two of my greatest passions in life are travel and photography.
For over a decade after I left high school, photography remained one of my long forgotten interests. Only after I discovered international travel did I decide to invest in a decent digital camera. It quickly became clear to me that travel and photography undoubtedly go hand in hand.
Photography has primarily been a great way to remember the places I’ve been, and the things I’ve seen or done.
What originally started out as a hobby has now evolved into an art form and a lifestyle. I often plan my travel based on locations I deem will make great photographs. Namely places with beautiful landscapes, architecture or diverse culture & wildlife.
Having been based in the UK for a number of years, far away from my home country of New Zealand, I had Europe and Asia at my doorstep. Experiencing the other side of the world also installed in me a new appreciation of what my native country New Zealand has to offer. My list of potential destinations is continuously growing.
My thrill is in not only the adventure itself but, being able to showcase the beauty of the world through the art of photography. I gain a great deal of satisfaction by the fact that through my images, I can provoke emotion and inspire people to experience the world outside of what they know, as well as to pursue photography as an interest.
I constantly strive to capture the “perfect shot” by continuing to improve my knowledge of camera & lighting technique, searching for new scenery or studying astronomical events. My photos are for others to see the world, the way I have seen it. Every picture tells a story.
The beauty of the world is everywhere. It just takes the right pair of eyes to notice it.
