When the weather patterns and forced unemployment align!
I’ve got to give some level of thanks to Corona Virus. Forcing us all to down tools at a time when the weather systems have been blasting our coastline with great waves and weather. Nothing to do but enjoy and document.
Two different angles of - and taken from - my home in Burleigh Heads.
Stunning sunsets and sunrises lately have been a photographers delight. Clear days and glowing light has had us all scrambling for our equipment and chasing new angles.
This winter on the Gold Coast has been one of the best I can remember.
Relentless East and South-East swells, coupled with offshore winds and perfect sand banks has meant one of the most consistent winters I can remember here in South-East Queensland. Here’s a particular session from South Stradbroke Island.
Early winter at Kirra Reef in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast.
Perfect, calm conditions made for an ideal day of diving Kirra Reef. Clouds of fish and smatterings of sting rays, Wobbegong Sharks and Puffer Fish call this reef home and made for a memorable day out.
I’ve always wanted to photograph Whale Sharks underwater without the aid of a tour. After 10 days on the Ningaloo Reef off Exmouth, Western Australia, my dreams turned into reality and then some.
From encounters with 12ft tiger sharks, graceful underwater dances with giant oceanic manta rays, thrilling dives into bait-balls with frenzying sharks to slow motion glides with enormous whale sharks, the Ningaloo Reef had it all. Thick with diverse marine life all thriving in unimaginable numbers and under the watchful eye of a local population of passionate ocean conservationists.
I had the pleasure of hanging out with and photographing Mr Tom Morat at Pitstop Hill in the Mentawais for his major sponsor, Banks Journal.
I’d always known Tom as primarily a super stylish longboarder, but seeing him pilot his quirky quiver of asymmetrical and performance boards, my opinion quickly changed and his versatility was super impressive.
An ongoing series of opportunities to merge creative artists with premium apparel.
The aim for Banks Journal Studio is to provide a platform for creativity and facilitate the relationship between the two.
This season they teamed up with Australian/Japanese artist Mia Taninaka, who creates lively paintings that embody elements of magic, mysticism, and spirituality in fine lines and expansive color. Drawing inspiration from ancient mythologies, diverse cultures and deep spiritual practice, Mia’s paintings are interpretations of the realms beyond the surface layers of reality and inspire the viewer to explore the possibilities of subtle awareness.
Snapshots from an unforgettable road trip around Iceland in December.
No matter which way you cast your eyes in Iceland, your mind is sure to be blown. I was lucky enough to road trip around the entire country in a van this December. Take a moment to enjoy the visual beauty on offer through a country which should be on everyone’s bucket list.
