Featured Favourites...

It's official, I have a new all time favourite photograph which I took during the peak of the salmon season. The aerial image titled "Oceans Playgorund" was taken off Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse in the South West of Western Australia. A lone tiger shark was chasing this salmon ball in the shallow waters when a perfect peeling wave broke only metres away from them. I was lucky enough to have the drone up and capture the entire scene in one image. This image is featured in issue 29 of White Horses Magazine.

I currently have 2 exhibitions running at moment. One is at Cheeky Monkey Brewery in Wilyabrup and the other at Windows Estate Winery in Yallingup. Windows Estate Winery showcases a variety of my work in White and Raw Tasmanian Oak frames, and Cheeky Monkey Brewery showcases more tourist friendly options with Mat Laminated prints that are hung via Raw Tasmanian Oak hangers that can be rolled up into mailing tubes for travel.

Please take a look at my other photos via the "Buy Prints" button above! I have been slowly updating my portfolio / website with new images and finished print styles!

Enjoy!

The South West has copped a battering of rain and strong winds over the last couple of days, which doesn't create ideal conditions to photograph. It did bump the swell up to over 3.5m though, so i headed down to a break on Cape Naturaliste side for a few photos and a surf this morning.

Enjoy!

Heavy 13.11.2015

This morning was full of heavy tubes, broken boards and an amazing display of surfing. I went to Yallingup first thing in the morning, and made the call to drive down Margaret River way in hope that this particular spot was working. With the wind blowing a strong SE and the swell that had grown overnight, it created ideal conditions at this beach break.


Enjoy!

The Jay Show 12.11.2015

Another morning of fun surf down here in the South West with Jay Davies owning the lineup at a sucky little bank. It's always epic to photograph Jay surfing, he has such a big bag of manoeuvres and is one of the best tube riders down here.

Enjoy!

Mellow Arvo 10.11.2015

Yesterday arvo was one for the books, with plenty of waves and an epic sunset to top it off. I headed down this morning to photograph the beach, but It was a bit disappointing. All the crowds were apparently down at Margaret River, but I didn't have the time to make it there.

Enjoy!

Behind the Lens 09.11.2015 

After a few weeks of being over the top busy and fighting injury and sickness, I am finally back into full swing with the Southwest Saltwater email. I managed to get down to the beach this morning before the heavy clouds set in and turned the day all gloomy. The strong SSE wind was making options for waves difficult, with only the protected beaches staying clean.

I have included an image of two magazines (Surfing Life Swell Tracker Issue and Riptide Issue 204) that ran my shots (also a little story in the Surfing Life mag).

I've had a busy week and haven't really had a chance to get down and take photos, but I have lots of exciting ventures in the works at the moment! I wanted to at least get one email out, so here are some photos from this time last week at a fun bank somewhere in the South West.

Enjoy!

We had pumping surf today in the South West, with a large swell and clean offshore winds. I checked the usual spots in the morning and made the drive to North Point as I had a feeling it would be pumping. Jay Davies and some younger crew were out shredding which made taking photos all the better! 

Enjoy!
