This little fella flew around my camera and I for over an hour. It’s called a fantail and it’s one of New Zealand smallest bird. It’s very fast and I actually never imagined having such a good shot. Thank pal!

Dinghy and reflections of Autumn forest. This photo was taken on a calm, peaceful Sunday morning while walking around Blueskin Bay, Waitati (Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand).

We came home from Sandymount as the clouds were receding from the peninsula towards the city. The sun was shining through the mist and lighting up the water.

On my way into work one morning in winter, and the water was so calm. The lights on the ship and the city were just so stunning, I had to stop and capture it. Long exposure. littleleafcreative.com

It’s incredible that you can see views like this just 10 minutes away from where I go to university (Dunedin, New Zealand). What a magical place for a study break.

That water is really cold, like REALLY cold. Julia is a fantastic model and fantastic friend for doing this shoot for me. St Bathans is a stunning dark blue, lake surrounded by white cliffs, which made for a perfect spot to do a water shoot.

Travelling in a camper van for 10 days has some of its benefits. One of the benefits are being able to pull up and spend as much time as you want wherever you want. This shot was taken in NZ at Tunnel Beach.

Driving through the Lindis Pass in New Zealand is a real treat. The hills are so beautiful,golden and tussock covered and uninhabited, with gorgeous effects of sun and weather. It’s not always easy to find a safe spot to stop for the angle you want to shoot. On this occasion there was a delay for roadworks, allowing a few seconds to grab a shot.

The stunningly clear, blue waters of Lake Pukaki greet you as you travel from Tekapo to Twizel. The mountain range beyond the lake connects to Mount Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand.

My friend who is a Pilot for Air Safaris in my hometown, Lake Tekapo - New Zealand, asked if I wanted to join her on a flight as she had a spare seat. Of course I could not say no, as surrounding Lake Tekapo are beautiful mountains and stunning scenery!

One of the most picturesque locations in New Zealand, Lake Tekapo rests peacefully next to the township of Tekapo. The hill on the other side of the lake is the site of the Mount John observatory, an observatory with almost unparalleled views of the stars in the dark sky reserve above.

I’ve spent the last 10 months in New Zealand and believe me, the South Island is one of the most craziest thing you will ever see. As we were driving to Mt. Cook (highest summit in NZ) we had to drive along this more than scenic road. First you’ll drive by Lake Pukaki and his blue water coming from the glacier, then every turn, every inch of this road will make you stop and enjoy life as it is. Please, go to New Zealand, you won’t regret it.

The Emyn Muil was an arc of rocky hills that ran southwest along the River Anduin, crossing it at its southern most end. It is remembered because the Ringbearer Frodo Baggins and his companion Samwise Gamgee crossed it’s razor-sharp peaks on their way to Mordor.

During our trip through New Zealand we found this sweet spot. All the bras are from visitors. This is a social campaign from the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation near Queenstown. They collect some money with a little box for donations. Greet opportunity to finance a little bit for the research to fight agains breast cancer.

This climb to Roy’s Peak seemed like a great idea when I read the description on New Zealand’s Department of Conservation’s website. “Easy Walk”, they said. After a painstaking 3-hour climb, my feet were practically bleeding and I was quite dehydrated. The only thing I wanted to do was run back down to go back to my hotel—but not before taking some shots of the exquisite view.

Began my hike up Mt. Roy at 5.40am at temperatures of -2 degrees celsius. The terrain was easy to walk on and the exposed trek gave me full-view of the night sky - I caught five shooting stars in the short 2.5hr hike! The view atop was well-worth the effort and the cold!
