The west coast of NZ looks like this most of the time. I didn’t see the sun once during my weeklong stay - it really gave the area a special atmosphere.

One of those shots where everything just came together. Despite having daily adventures in New Zealand for most of a year, this capture still ranks as one of my overall favorites.

I just by chance stumbled across the area where weathertop (from the Lord of the Rings) was filmed while driving.

This photo was taken at the beach in my hometown. I love this place for both aesthetic and sentimental reasons. The ocean at sunset is my absolute favourite and this shot is no different. The bokeh is a result of a wave splashing with the glow from the setting sun hitting the surface. Magic.

My style of photography is different. I have combined my love of soft focus, shallow depth of field, the water &the colour blue to come up with this series of photos. This photo was taken waist deep in the water with a wave nearly completely taking out my camera as I held it near the surface. The bigger the risk the better the result.

Taken from above a short distance from where I grew up in Nelson, New Zealand. In the distance is the start of the famous ‘Boulder Bank’, the longest of its kind.

A view out towards Cable Bay from Glenduan at sunset. The colors aren’t as vivid as I’m facing away from the sun… however I love the soft tones that you can get with this perspective.

First day with a new camera on a hike through the lovely Abel Tasman National Park in NZ. Shot at an extreme distance through golden hour haze. No edits.

Slightly around the bend from the picturesque Cable Bay, who knows what you’ll find when you venture slightly beyond the main attraction!

Adventuring our way around New Zealand in our motorhome, we came across a small town Whataroa. Just out of that town is this wonderful overpass with glacier water flowing below from the surrounding mountains. With the perfect moody conditions we could not pass up the opportunity to get out and fly (even though it was slightly raining). Our drone/s lasted the quick fly and the shots came out better than anticipated, we hope you enjoy just as much!

After a 3 hour drive we pulled up to the carpark on a warm summers day; birds chirping and wind blowing. A short walk through a picturesque scenery brings you to smooth, golden sand dunes. With each breath of wind every grain of sand dances out its emotion. Once across the sand dunes you’re met with towering prehistoric rocks formed over thousands of years. Every powerful wave slowly carving its on footstep on the giant rock. With the sun setting & the baby seals playing in the rock pools; I set up my camera. This image will allow me to reflect on this perfect day full of amazing memories.

I am to explore as many greenhouses as I can when I travel, so when we visited Christchurch we went to their botanic garden. The Cuningham House there is incredible, such wonderful architecture. Well worth a visit.

One of my couple shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand. This couple found the perfect location for our shooting and hit the right time to get this beautiful sunset for our photos.

I truly love the people, landscapes and weather of New Zealand, It was about my trip to Christchurch at the afternoon of winter day. Both side of the road was really impressive and picturesque. Taken by Long Nguyen

Its hard to believe this view is just a short ride out of the city of Christchurch, NZ. But then again it IS New Zealand. The beauty is everywhere

After hearing how amazing the sunrise would be, I woke up super early to catch the sunrise along the coast of New Zealand. However, there ended up being too many clouds and nothing came out as well as I would have liked. The path to the coast was full of shy sheep running away from me. On my way back home, I happened to catch these two friends from afar as we exchanged gazes and felt calm.
