A few frames from Patagonia by my mate Andrew, who came through The Nursery.

Love the way he sees a place and the people in it. Really good to see what he’s making. Beautiful work :)

I really love what Jill is doing with her camera.

She’s worked her way through every one of my workshops, and I’m pretty proud of what she’s out there creating. The colours, the way she works in people’s homes, the little moments she notices and the stories she tells. Really beautiful.

It’s pretty cool getting to play a small part in someone’s journey and then see them take what they’ve learnt and make it completely their own.

If you’re working on your own photography and wondering what’s possible, go have a look at Jill’s work and head to the link in bio to learn more about the courses she took part in. 🤍

Photography has a way of keeping you curious.

Save for when you need a reminder :)

We’re a long way from home here in Queenstown, and I think that’s part of what makes meeting people from all over the world so cool.

The Teng family recently moved to Auckland from Singapore, and while they were visiting Queenstown, we headed down to the lake for some photos. The kids spent time on the rope swing and playing by the water, with the kind of backdrop that makes you stop and appreciate just how beautiful this place is.

I genuinely love meeting people from different parts of the world. Hearing their stories, finding out what brings them to places like this, and spending a little time with a family just enjoying being together. There’s something pretty special about seeing a family love like this, wherever in the world you happen to meet them.

Really glad we got to meet you guys and take these photos while you were here. ✨

One of my favourite things about teaching photography is seeing what people do with it once they start putting everything into practice.

I love when photos like these are shared in our Facebook group. There’s something pretty special about seeing someone’s photography develop over time and knowing you might have helped them along the way. It’s something I feel really lucky to be part of.

Here are a few recent favourites from our community. Have a look through and show these photographers some love. If you’d like to join us, the link is in my bio 🫶

42 today.

And somehow, I’m celebrating it with snow falling outside. We woke up to a fresh dump this morning, which feels pretty special considering this is my first ever birthday in the snow. ❄️

There’s something funny about getting older. I remember thinking 40 would feel like a really significant moment, and it did. But the years after have been less about the number and more about looking around and realising just how much life has happened.

I’ve been the kid. I’ve been the dad. I’ve watched my own kids become the ages I remember being. And honestly, getting to experience all of those versions of life feels like a pretty incredible privilege.

So, in the spirit of being 42, I thought I’d give you 42% off all of my workshops for the next 24 hours.

If there’s one you’ve had your eye on, use code BIRTHDAY at checkout.

Thanks for being here. ❤️

Family photos with family friends Brianna Wilson and Jordan Wilson I’ve taken photos in lots of places around the world but Queenstown has got to be one of the most mental in terms of backdrops. Not sure how many family sessions I’ve done where you can just wander up and down the street and call it done. Panorama Terrace definitely lives up to its name.

And yeah, the backdrop is incredible but it’s the people that always matter. The family, the love, the kids, the connection. I’ll be the first to admit that family photos with little ones aren’t always easy. You know what they always are though - worth it.

Family sessions in Queenstown are still available until mid December from which time I’ll be back in Sydney for the most part. As for 2027…not sure where we will be but I can guarantee you it will be fun.

There’s something pretty special about these.

Rach photographed this couple in her childhood home, and somehow managed to turn a place full of personal history into something that feels cinematic, intimate and completely timeless.

The light, the location, the way she’s captured the connection between these two. It’s just beautiful.

This is exactly the kind of photography I love seeing from people who do my workshops - taking what they’ve learnt and turning it into something that feels entirely their own.

And if you’ve been meaning to learn how to shoot like this, all of our photography workshops are 30% off until midnight tonight!

Use code WINTER at checkout.

After years of taking photos, I’m still learning, still changing my mind, and still getting things wrong.

So I put together a few things I’ve picked up along the way. Just some thoughts that have stuck with me.

And if you’re keen to learn more about photography, my courses are currently 30% off with the code: WINTER.

They’re all through the link in my bio. 🌞
