On my way into work one morning in winter, and the water was so calm. The lights on the ship and the city were just so stunning, I had to stop and capture it. Long exposure. littleleafcreative.com

Ocean in Tunnel Beach Track, New Zealand

Travelling in a camper van for 10 days has some of its benefits. One of the benefits are being able to pull up and spend as much time as you want wherever you want. This shot was taken in NZ at Tunnel Beach.

We came home from Sandymount as the clouds were receding from the peninsula towards the city. The sun was shining through the mist and lighting up the water.

That water is really cold, like REALLY cold. Julia is a fantastic model and fantastic friend for doing this shoot for me. St Bathans is a stunning dark blue, lake surrounded by white cliffs, which made for a perfect spot to do a water shoot.

travelers stories about Hill in Lindis Pass, New Zealand

Hill in Lindis Pass, New Zealand

  105 km from Otago


Driving through the Lindis Pass in New Zealand is a real treat. The hills are so beautiful,golden and tussock covered and uninhabited, with gorgeous effects of sun and weather. It’s not always easy to find a safe spot to stop for the angle you want to shoot. On this occasion there was a delay for roadworks, allowing a few seconds to grab a shot.

travelers stories about Landmark in Nugget Point Lighthouse, New Zealand

Landmark in Nugget Point Lighthouse, New Zealand

  111 km from Otago


We arrived at the lighthouse and we could finally see it when standing right next to it. The fog was really thick. We decided - wisely - to wait it out a bit from a distance. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long and were treated with a stunning sight. Nugget Point, New Zealand.

travelers stories about Hill in Roys Peak, New Zealand

Hill in Roys Peak, New Zealand

  123 km from Otago


This climb to Roy’s Peak seemed like a great idea when I read the description on New Zealand’s Department of Conservation’s website. “Easy Walk”, they said. After a painstaking 3-hour climb, my feet were practically bleeding and I was quite dehydrated. The only thing I wanted to do was run back down to go back to my hotel—but not before taking some shots of the exquisite view.

Summit in Roys Peak, New Zealand

  123 km from Otago


Began my hike up Mt. Roy at 5.40am at temperatures of -2 degrees celsius. The terrain was easy to walk on and the exposed trek gave me full-view of the night sky - I caught five shooting stars in the short 2.5hr hike! The view atop was well-worth the effort and the cold!

Hill in Roys Peak, New Zealand

  123 km from Otago


While on an eight month backpacking journey, we stopped by Queenstown, New Zealand to visit a friend in Wanaka. Not knowing this was a miserable six hour hike up to Roy’s Peak, we happily agreed but were met with some of the most humbling views. Worth it in the end!

Waterway in Queenstown, New Zealand

  127 km from Otago


Truth be told, I didn’t even realise there were people in the image until I looked at it a few weeks later. It was a winter’s day in Queenstown and I was out for a walk while taking a break from the tours I guide. I always have my camera with me and the fall colours were out - a rare sight for a North Islander in New Zealand.
