Photography started off as a hobby for me but pretty soon it turned into a passion and I have been doing Wildlife / Bird photography for over 15 years.

Having grown up on National Geographic magazines and Discovery Channel, it’s no surprise that my heart and passion lies in Wildlife / Bird photography. I am very passionate about the conservation of our Wildlife / Birdlife that calls this planet ‘Home’. We, as the most intelligent and advanced species to inhabit this Earth, have a moral obligation to preserve what we have NOT destroy it.

I primarily use my work to raise money for Conservation – hence doing my bit through my photography to support many New Zealand wildlife charities. Since 2022, I have served as the Membership Secretary of Birds New Zealand ( The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc.). If each of us did our little bit in our own very special way, think of the collective effect it will have on the environment, OUR environment.

I have been the recipient of numerous awards both nationally and internationally and have also had my work published both in New Zealand and around the world. My work has also served as inspiration for various artists and carvers.

I am an Accredited Member of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP).

In 2020 and 2023:
I was a Finalist in the Nature Category at the IRIS awards - the only professional photography competition in Australasia. I have also attained the level of NZIPP Master of Photography (with Distinction) - M.NZIPP (Dist)

In 2024 and 2025:
I was on the judging panel of the New Zealand Amateur Photography Awards.

At this point I’ll stop talking and hand you over to my camera and I’ll let it do the talking from here on…
