  • Short-tailed bat, a rare New Zealand endemic species, shot on #photoassignment for #nzgeographic. Challenging work that required building a mini computer, a bit of time, and loads of cables!

  • Giant Kōkopu (Galaxias argenteus). A little known, secretive, threatened species, found only in New Zealand. It's young make up one of the whitebait species. Just figured out a whole new way to photograph these beautiful creatures in the wild. Most people use captivity and glass tanks to photograph our native fish. This is a wild fish totally unrestrained in any way, hanging out in a deep forest pool - just the way it should be.

  • Molesworth Station trout fishing. Shot this frame for the Molesworth Station Book that Harry Broad and I worked together on. A culmination of a lot of hard work, sadly, many people these days expect this to be a photoshop merge. It isn't! While Malcolm Bell was working hard to catch a trout (he had to give up on his fly rod and revert to spinning which I understand is a bit of a come down for a fly fisher), I was trying hard to figure out how to photographically overcome the terrible overcast backlit windy evening. I gave up and went and got my underwater equipment - screwing on 2 strobe lights - one for a fish and one to light Malcolm, and was almost ready when Malcolm finally caught this young trout. Someone was looking down on us, as a crepuscular ray of sunlight poked through the cloud just at the right time - and this frame was born. It that took a lot of travelling, a few nights away from home, a lot of equipment, good planning, and just a bit of luck. The photo was used full page in our award winning book (Molesworth), and also used on the cover of trout fishing licences and regulations booklet that year. Very pleased with it.

  • Tawa tree forest green. Love the texture and duotone quality of this frame, deep in Pureora rainforest. Makes me feel at home when I see it. Taken on my medium format pentax 645z dSLR, I suspect many lesser cameras would have struggled to do this justice. The fine detail in the original is beautiful. 52737FA00: Mossy forest.
