Two of my Antarctic Penguin images received an Acceptance award in the 2026 PSNZ Sony National Exhibition. The PSNZ Sony National Exhibition is an annual photographic exhibition run by PSNZ (Photographic Society of New Zealand) and showcases work from New Zealand photographers.

Pleased to announce that I received 5 Highly Commended awards in the Asia Pacific Photography Awards 2026.

Cherry blossoms are one of the great signs of Spring. The delicate pale pink flowers only last a few short weeks, but they're so beautiful to look at and photograph. And once the petals start to fall, they look a bit like snow on the ground, which in turn leads to more photographic opportunities. Spring is a wonderful time to be amongst nature.

This diptych shows two versions of a willow tree in a lake at sunset: one photo taken during golden hour where the suns last rays give a golden glow across the willow branches, and one taken as the sun is setting with beautiful hues in the sky in the background and a silhouetted willow tree. There were Pied Shags, Phalacrocorax varius, roosting in the tree at various stages over the course of the evening.

Both images were taken using a neutral density filter to smooth out the water giving it a soft and dreamy appearance.
