I will be having my first showing with Linton & Kay Gallery in Subiaco, Perth. The works in this exhibition “The winds of change (…and 2020)” were created initially during lockdown stemming from COVID-19.  The whimsical nature expressed in the works came naturally, an inclination perhaps towards a desire to escape, to float from the relentless […]

I have a number of works on view at the annual Southern Highlands Arts Trail this November (2020) in both Retford Park (James Fairfax’s Estate, Bowral) as part of the Artists of the Round Yard. I will also have works at the lovely newly opened gallery in Berrima – Whitewall Art Projects

Great chat with Adam Williams – we explore my work, why I have gone the route I have, and I’ve hopefully lobbed a few grenades into the ‘play nicely’ brigade that is considered ‘proper’ Landscape Photography …. with constructive ends it’s hoped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Cpu9OFdgw&feature=youtu.be

Just received a copy of a book I have been working on. It incorporates all images to date in the series Terra Australis Incognita (unknown Southern Land). There is a superb forward by Tony Hewitt and it has allowed me to evaluate the progression of the work which began, in earnest, 2 years ago.

I missed the announcement on this one!!!  Only saw it when I went to enter this year’s (2017) competition… I received two honourable mentions in two categories – Self Portrait and People for The Hatters Exit in the 2016 competition.  Not too shabby considering there were 26,000 other images …

Only just got word that I received a few more citations than I had realised during the annual ‘Supremo’ Black and White Awards last year…. I got an Honorable Mention for Kickoff along with two further images that were nominated as contenders for the Architectural and the Still Life Categories not too shabby for 7,500 […]

I’m very appreciative of my peers in the regional arm of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers for giving me a gold and three silver awards for images I submitted into the regional (NSW/ACT) Professional Print Awards in Sydney this past weekend.  Especially gratifying is that the gold was in a category which I have […]

Fortunate news – after having got only 3 images as nominees for awards at the 2014 competition I’ve been fortunate this year to have 6 images nominated (shortlisted) for the 2015 Spider Black and White Awards.  The most encouraging thing is that the images were in a wide variety of categories from ‘Children of the […]

I feel very humbled and fortunate that the veritable Stark Awards have awarded me winner of the Fine Art Category of the 2015 competition (with luminaries in the photography firmament judging the competition such as Michael Levin, Scott Kelby, Michael Freeman and Ted Forbes). One of the judges had the following commentary on my image: […]

Two of my images have received Silver Awards at the 2015 Australian Professional Print Awards – it’s always a harrowing experience where five Master Photographers of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) get up to inspect your (physical) print and pass commentary (if you’re lucky!) and their scores… it was a particularly tough year […]

Two images (see below) have been voted to be include in the book published annually of what is considered the Top 101 Landscape Photographs of the Year as voted for by my Landscape Photographer peers – very rewarding, particularly in light of the fact that my images were selected against 2600 others.

As part of the Australian Professional Print Awards regional outing I elected to enter two images into categories I’ve not entered before (with much seriousness) ie. Portrait and Illustrative.  I was very surprised and proud to have been given a Silver and a Gold image respectively – a real honour as this is my first […]

In April I heard that two of my images had been selected as finalists in two categories: Aerial and nature.  One was taken from a chopper in the Kimberleys at Wyndham Airport, the other was taken at the Wombeyan Caves close to where I live in the Southern Highlands NSW.

I travelled in early February to Antarctica via Chile on a workshop with 6 of the finest Landscape photographers around:  Art Wolfe, Jackie Ranken, Christian Fletcher, Charlie Cramer, Joe Cornish and Peter Cox. It was unreal!  Art Wolfe, who has been to Antarctica 20 times, towards the end of the trip remarked “you have no idea […]

It took a while for this one to arrive but here is my certificate for inclusion in the Top 101 International Landscape Photographs of the Year 2014 – and here’s the image that did the deed

3 of my image have been selected as Nominees in the World’s largest and most prestigious Black and White Photo competition.  What was quite reassuring from a photographic evolution viewpoint is that the images were entered into 3 separate categories – Nature, Wildlife and People.  Very pleased!
