Fine Art: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Typical Wellington stormy weather, a rainstorm passes by while creating an extremely long exposure, obscuring the house-filled mountains in the background. The derelict old docks are the remains of a once active naval base, decrepit enough to create an interesting subject, but still strong enough to stand strong against the wind and waves. The grey of the heavy rain gives the scene a minimalist feeling I look for in most of my images, while still giving hints of the hills in the background.
AUTHOR
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, I am a traveller, adventurer and an emerging photographer, focusing on wild, inhospitable but beautiful places. An adventurous spirit drives me out of the office to explore new and interesting places and environments.
My sense of adventure was intensified with the completion of the Flight4Life expedition, a successful Guinness World Record paramotor flight for which I was a team member and photographer. Three months spent exploring strange new environments through the Australian Outback only strengthened my resolve to evolve from a magazine editor to a landscape photographer.
For the last four years, my travels have taken me from my home in Kelowna, around the world to the ice covered coasts of Iceland, the fjords of Norway, the forests of Germany, the sandy deserts of Australia, the majestic hills of New Zealand, the spectacular national parks of the USA, and the desolate icy landscapes of Canada‘s Arctic.
