We packed up a little plane with surfboards, tents and heavy as hell packs, got dropped of in the middle of nowhere and hiked out to the coast.

Here is a little snippit.

First up, just finished another fun shoot for howies. Shot in Tasmania, Australia whilst the summer still lingers on here and winter still has it’s grip on chilly Wales.

God bless fedex.

Just spent the last week or so shooting the new range of winter jackets for UK based howies. Somehow I managed to persuade them to box up the jackets and send them to me to shoot Australia. With winter still lingering down here in tassie, I grabed a bunch of mates, tents, canoes, big rucksacks and hit the wilderness for some adventures in the lakes and mountains.

What a time!

The book titled ‘Mountain Heroes: Portraits of Adventure’ is out this month, and looks yummy.

Working together with the awesome peeps at Harris + Wilson and my good buddies at A-Side Studio we ate pies, made cheese, ate pies, shot pheasants, ate pies, had a fake second christmas, ate pies and ate pies.

A very good job indeed.

The book is relaeased in a few days on September 1st and available from the usual suspects including Amazon. Rad.

Wow, there has been a serious lag in updates on this news reel of late, apologies for that, I promise I’ll try and keep on top of that now, there is plenty to talk about and plenty of photos…

First up, a cool new publication is out, Kook (issue 2) which features a bunch of my work (and even features our old ford on the front cover) and a great story by my good buddy from down here in Tasmania, George Foulds. You can order a copy here…

So it turned out he was living basically up the end of my road in Hobart, so we got to know each other over a few coffees and then spent an afternoon hiking out to a little hut at the top of our local mountain. He is a total legend and an inspiring fella.

An awesome little job.

Here is one that didn’t quite make the cut.

It’s been a wierd week, I lost a mate from down south, a inspiring man with far too few years under his belt. It’s put my own mortality into perpective and made me realise we are truly blessed to be here. More now than ever I’m going to commit to making the most of the days I have, living through experience and taking some photos along the way, to hopefully, one day, inpire others to do the same.

I know Jonno would approve.

Thanks for the inspiration fella, we will miss ya. RIP.

My air miles are going through the roof and jet lag is kicking my ass.

Whilst moving about I’m working on a few personal projects in the Southern Island states, here is an insight from the first batch back from the lab…

Aotearoa – north and south, Tasmania & Bruny Island.
