Shot along the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, these tidal lagoons are reshaped twice a day by some of the largest tides in the country, they are truly insane to watch move in and out.

It’s been an incredibly rewarding workshop season so far. First and foremost, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some truly remarkable and inspirational people from around the world, then sharing with them my love of aerial photography and seeing landscapes from a perspective few ever get to experience.

I work hard to push what’s possible within the genre, constantly exploring, researching and searching for places that genuinely excite me. This particular series is one of those places that reminds me why I do what I do.

The Dampier Peninsula remains one of the most raw and untamed landscapes I photograph. Traditional Owners have cared for this land and maintained a connection to it for thousands of years, and it’s a genuine privilege to be able to explore and photograph these places from the air.

Every time I return, I leave with a deeper appreciation for just how extraordinary this corner of Australia really is.

I have one remaining spot available to explore this region with me in 2026. Beyond that, bookings are now open for 2027. If you’d like to experience these landscapes for yourself, just reach out or visit my website for more information. 👊

After 40 days on the road, crossing everything from the braided rivers of New Zealand to the remote corners of the Kimberley, Pilbara and Gascoyne, it’s hard to pick favourites. Yet this particular stretch of tidal flats near Broome remains one of the most remarkable landscapes I’ve photographed in recent years.

From above, the winding tidal channels carve their way through the mudflats in a way that feels almost impossible to believe. The resemblance to the braided glacial rivers of Iceland and New Zealand is striking, despite being shaped by completely different forces. Instead of meltwater, these patterns are created by some of the largest tidal movements on Earth, endlessly reshaping the landscape with each cycle.

It’s a challenging place to photograph. The tides need to align, the light needs to cooperate, and the aircraft has to be in exactly the right position at exactly the right time. But when it all comes together, the results are something truly special.

Places like this remind me why I continue to spend so much of my life exploring remote Australia. There are still landscapes out there that rival anything I’ve seen anywhere in the world.

If you’d like to join me in the Kimberley this year, we have just one spot remaining on our August aerial photography expedition. Bookings are also open for 2027, and I’m excited to announce we’ll soon be offering a brand new boat-based adventure into some of the most remote corners of the Kimberley, opening up access to areas few people ever get to experience.

Over the last 12 years of flying around photographing the landscape from above, I’ve become increasingly drawn to how cool the earth looks when cracked!

At first glance they can seem quite simple, but no two are ever the same. Some are formed by drying salt lakes, others by mud, clay, minerals or even man made environments where roads, levees and evaporation ponds have altered the landscape. Each leaves behind its own fingerprint and look.

What fascinates me is the sheer variety. Sometimes the cracks are bold and graphic, other times they’re delicate and subtle, almost disappearing into the surface. From above they can look like river systems, lightning strikes, maps, veins or something entirely abstract.

This collection brings together a few of my favourite examples from over the years. Images made hundreds of kilometres apart but connected by these beautiful repeating patterns 🙏

I’ve spent a fair bit of time out in the more remote parts of the Goldfields this year, often finding myself hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town, exploring landscapes that are incredibly difficult to access.

The tailings ponds and processing areas scattered throughout these mining regions are unlike anything else I’ve photographed in Western Australia. From the air they feel almost extraterrestrial, vast networks of colours, textures and patterns that seem more at home on another planet than right here in our own backyard.

While these locations often spark conversations around industry and environmental impact, as a photographer I’m continually fascinated by the visual complexity they create. Every flight reveals something different, and it’s that sense of discovery that keeps drawing me back out into the middle of nowhere 🙏

If you’d like to join me, this year is soldout bar a couple of spots but 2027 has group and custom tours available 🙏

In the last decade I’ve found a huge amount of enjoyment exploring the salt lakes of the Mid Central Wheatbelt. A lot of that work has focused on the smaller little “egg” lakes and colourful paint pots that seem to pop up everywhere out there, but the larger lakes can be just as fascinating. They change so dramatically from season to season that sometimes it feels like you’re photographing a completely different location each time you visit.

For me, that’s part of the magic of aerial photography. Once you get above these landscapes, the possibilities are endless. Shapes, textures and patterns begin to emerge, and often the only limiting factors are your imagination, battery life, or a curious bird taking a little too much interest in the drone.

This particular lake, located near Southern Cross W.A, was one of my favourite discoveries of recent years 🙏🙏🙏

If you’d like to join us chasing and shooting these lakes we’ve got one spot left on our Kalgoorlie, Lefroy and Salt Lakes tour for 2027 🙏

I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last almost three weeks exploring the beautiful South Island of New Zealand, with 8 of those days dedicated to running our 2026 New Zealand ground and aerial photography tour alongside the talented Mr Hoelen 🙏

Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Every single one of the participants put in the miles, the hikes and the effort needed to create some truly special imagery. Some locations were well known, others a little more off the beaten track, but hey… when in Rome (or NZ) 🤙

From loading all 9 of us into an Air Caravan and flying over the braided rivers, to doors off flights in a Hughes 500 around Fox Glacier and Franz Josef, mixed in with countless incredible ground-based locations, it turned into a pretty unforgettable adventure.

One of the biggest goals Paul and I had with this workshop was to make sure it never felt robotic or overly regimented. We wanted it to feel like genuine exploration, sharing the excitement and feeling we both still get from aerial photography and discovering landscapes from above. I’d dare say we pulled that off.

During the workshop a lot of my focus naturally went into helping and guiding the crew, but before and after the tour I managed to spend a little time soaking in some scenes for myself as well. Below is just a small selection of images from the trip, all captured on the Nikon Z8 but edited entirely on my iPhone using Lightroom Mobile, which blows my mind how advanced the mobile version is becoming!

If you’d like to join us in 2027, jump onto my website via the link in my bio, head to the 2027 Workshops section and have a look. We’re already starting to fill spots, with a maximum group size of just 6 people.

Hopefully we’ll see you over here next year 🙏

Deep out in the remote goldfields of Western Australia sits this gold mine tailings pond, and honestly, it was one of the strangest things I’ve photographed in a long time. Most tailings ponds carry a certain weight when you shoot them, knowing what they are and what they represent, but this particular one felt almost surreal from above.

The colours alone looked completely alien, a palette of deep blues, soft golds, pale creams and toxic pinks. But the longer I hovered over it, the weirder it became. Shapes and figures started appearing everywhere. In the first image I could see what looked like a woman in a flowing dress with hair blowing behind her, while the second had this strange rat-like figure emerging through the darker tones. Even parts of the series looked like distorted cats or creatures half hidden beneath the surface textures.

It turned into one of those shoots where your brain keeps trying to make sense of what it’s seeing. One of the more unique and mind bending aerial subjects I’ve come across in a while 🤙

The Goldfields, Western Australia. This series hit me particularly hard due to the nature of the subject and how vividly, at least to me, it resembles a petrified forest trying to emerge from the snow white leftovers of the gold tailings process. Finding these intricate, twisted tree-like structures curling and pushing out from the depths gave the whole scene an almost haunting feeling, pretty gnarly stuff.

I’ve just completed around 8500kms over 16 days running a mix of photographic tours and workshops across remote Western Australia. It was an insanely rewarding experience meeting both new and returning clients, guiding people deep into the outback and into some truly unique aerial locations.

Feeling very lucky to call this my job 🙏
