Desert sunsets are stunning. This evening in the East MacDonnell Ranges was no exception, and was appreciated by my beautiful friend Jules and hundreds of other awestruck festival goers at Wide Open Space Festival.
The Tagbanua People are an indigenous minority group in the northern islands of the Philippines' Palawan province. The Tagbanua elders have recognised the importance of mangrove habitats both for their role in stabilising coastlines and thus protecting villages from typhoon destruction, and for the habitat mangroves provide for juvenile stages of many of the fish on which these communities depend. I photographed this child as he tended to the young mangroves planted by members of his village.
North Stradbroke Island in springtime, blue ocean, good friends, and icecream... some of the best things in life, all captured in one image. This photo of Ahmed is one of my favourite people shots.
A friend and I were searching for a unique species of fish that lives in the freshwater streams that run off steep mountainsides. Our search had taken us to Ambae island in the northeast of Vanuatu, where we met this young girl and her family, living in a tiny village clinging to the edge of an active volcano, deep in the rainforest.
Slacklining is balance, focus, and so much more! This photo of my partner Sam is part of a series of shots I took on a stormy afternoon by the side of a dirt road somewhere in Cape York's Northern Peninsula Area. I really like the vibrancy of the colours - the deep red of the huge termite mound, the bright green of early wet season growth, and the black of the burnt trees.
My dear friend Elliot seems to spend more time at our festival campsites than in the festival itself - not surprising considering the beautiful view that is reflected in his glasses. I love the way this image captures both the view across the water, and the peace and contentment in Elliot's face as he looks out.
