Posted in Arctic, Landscape Photographs, Media, News and Updates, Photographs, Travel Photography, Wildlife PhotographsLeave a comment

An exhibition of the best photographs from the 2015 Global Arctic Photographer of the Year Awards are now on display in Salekhard in Russia. Salekhard is a town located on the Yamal Peninsula. It is the administrative center of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug region in Russia. It is also the closest town to the Polar circle, making it the ideal venue to host the Arctic Awards exhibition. The exhibition includes all five of my photographs that won medals in the 2015 Awards and won me the overall title of 2015 Global Arctic Photographer of the Year. If you happen to be in the area and stop past for a visit please drop me an email and let me know what you think.arcticawards3ArcticAwards1Arcticawards2

A few days ago I received the exciting news that a number of my photographs have been selected for the final round of judging for both the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and ANZANG Australia and New Zealand Nature Photographer of the Year competitions for 2016. This is the fifth year in a row I have had my photographs selected for the finals in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition and the fourth time I have had images in the finals of ANZANG. I hope to share the images here on my blog as soon as the final round of judging is completed.WildlifeTog

Iceland News Features Arctic Fox Project

Posted in Iceland, Media, News and Updates, Travel PhotographyLeave a comment

Yesterday I wrapped up my 2016 winter workshop in Lofoten, Norway (full report to follow) with a fabulous early morning photography session of white-tailed eagles fishing out at sea.

I am now headed to Africa for my Namibia overland Landscape workshop. It has been two years since I was last in Namibia and I am looking forward to returning to the incredible landscapes this country has to offer. After Namibia I will be returning home to Melbourne for a couple of weeks and hope to start processing images to complete my work on the Arctic Fox project.

The Icelandic news website Visir recently featured an interview with me on the Arctic Fox project and on my thoughts on the tourism explosion currently underway in Iceland. You can download a PDF of the interview HERE. I hope you can read Icelandic or have a good translator to hand…Icelandnews

National Geographic Traveller Magazine Features Fortress

Posted in Antarctica, Landscape Photographs, Media, News and Updates, Photographs, Travel Photography3 Comments

The current issue (April 2016) of National Geographic Traveller Magazine features one of my photographs from Antarctica as the leading double page spread to an Antarctic travel article – 7 Trips, 7 Continents. Just click on the image below to download the image and article. The photograph titled ‘Fortress’ was taken back in 2011 in the Gerlache Strait during heavy overcast skies. This particular iceberg remains for me one of the most spectacular I have been fortunate to see and photograph. I will be leading a new expedition to Antarctica in late October next year (2017) that will be dedicated to iceberg photography. If you are keen to travel and photograph in Antarctica with a small group of passionate photographers please drop me an email to register your interest. No obligation at this point.MEDIA2016_NatGeoAntarctica

Arctic Fox Project – Behind the Scenes

Posted in Arctic, Media, News and Updates, Photographs, Travel Photography, Uncategorized, Wildlife PhotographsLeave a comment

A little over two weeks ago I wrapped up my winter photographic project on the Arctic Fox in the remote north east of Iceland. The project has spanned the last three winters with the final intent being a book to be released later this year. A portfolio of prints from the project is available now for purchase on my website. A behind the scenes video snippet from one of the last days on the project is included below. Just click on the image below to play the video. Full behind the scenes footage coming soon.

ArcticFoxVideoDaniel Bergmann and I also wrapped up our 2016 Iceland Winter Workshop a couple of days ago (full report coming soon). We had a mix of dramatic and challenging weather during the trip; as is often the norm for Iceland in winter.

I am now in the Lofoten Islands in Norway where I will be co-leading a nine day workshop for landscape photography with my friend Martyn Lucas. We are kicking off in the next couple of days and are looking forward to dramatic winter landscapes and possibly even some Aurora Borealis if conditions permit.
