Flowing from the Southern Alps to the great Southern lakes, the constantly changing Shotover River is alive with movement, shape and colour.

The colours of Central Otago are very close to my heart and tell a story of remoteness, persistence and courage. Captured at the crest of a hill on the other side of St Bathans, a historical settlement once the centre of the Otago Gold Rush, this image feels quintessentially rural New Zealand. Welco...

Spending a summer in Central Otago with camera in hand was nothing short of an awe-inspiring experience. Living in a city, I had forgotten how it felt to experience vastness and remoteness. I felt closer to history somehow but perhaps that was due, in large part, to the beauty and calm that descends...

The colours of Central Otago summers are a beautiful collation of cool and warm hues. From the indigo-toned mountains to the rich gold fields of dry grass, there is an abundance of contrast and tonal balance. These are the colours of the deep South, of rural New Zealand, and of summer. Welcome a lit...

Lauder is a very small rural settlement in Central Otago; one of many towns that have been given a new lease of life by the opening of the Otago Rail Trails.

The peak of Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain, is basking in the glow of the rapidly setting sun on a cloudless summer's day.

Standing on the shores of Lake Tekapo on a perfect summer's day, there is almost too much beauty to absorb. The snow-capped Southern Alps seem to merge with the brilliant blue-toned glacial lake. Surely this vista, with Aoraki Mount Cook in the background, should be another wonder of the world? Expe...

Summertime at TekapoIt was a heavenly day. Standing on the shores of Lake Tekapo, looking at the azure blue alpine lake seamlessly fold into the magnificence of Mount Cook and the Southern Alps, I couldn't help but feel emotional. What an extraordinary country we have been blessed with. It's ours to...

Lauder is one of the small settlements that formed part of the main trunk line when the railway was built in Otago.

The unsealed road that lies between the Maniototo plains and the northern foothills of the Kakanui Mountains is called Danseys Pass. Built to serve high country stations in the late 1800s, travelling through this pass, I was totally awestruck by its rugged beauty. The dramatic thunderstorm that was...

There's something extremely peaceful about cycling through the Otago countryside on the rail trails. No urban noises, no frenetic pace, just vast tracts of farmland; featuring slightly different shades of green and gold like a checkerboard. I had always imagined myself cycling in Italy or France but...

The soft, warm light of the rising sun kissing the rose-covered remains of an old farm cottage was too irresistible to walk by. The contrasting colour palettes perfectly matched the contrasting subject matter; it was old Marlborough surrendering to new Marlborough without any loss of dignity. Welcom...
