Visiting Milford Sound had been a dream of mine for a long time, and recently my wife and I finally spent a couple of nights in this incredible place.
I had imagined photographing an amazing sunset, filled with colour and dramatic light. It didn’t happen. Instead, Milford gave me something quieter.
Standing on the exposed shoreline at low tide, surrounded by enormous mountains, still reflections and clouds stretching across the sky, the whole scene felt raw and timeless.
When I looked at this image afterwards, black and white just felt right. Without the distraction of colour, it became more about the shapes, textures, movement and sheer scale of the landscape.
Not the Milford Sound photograph I had imagined… but perhaps a better reflection of how this place actually felt.
