Panoramic nominee

This is a stunning location on the Mornington Peninsula that I used to visit with friends when I was a young teenager. We would jump off the high rock on the far left side of the image into a deep rockpool below. Back then, we knew it as 'Octopus Rock' and the top level was a significant 10 metres high.

Funnily enough, during those visits we never actually stopped to appreciate the beauty of this place - we had more important things on our mind! Now that I am old (and somewhat wiser), I have found new meaning in this magic location.

Especially after spending a warm spring evening shooting here with a gentle onshore breeze and waves rolling around my ankles. The light was truly magic and I captured this stunning photograph just before the sun hit the horizon.

I'm a passionate landscape photographer with a love for the outdoors and sharing the magnificence of God's creation through my photography.

I've been a professional for over 20 years and with my amazing team, operate a retail gallery in Victoria, Australia. I specialise in traditional landscapes but also enjoy aerial photography from helicopters, planes and drones.

I've never been interested in how a camera works; for me it's just a tool that allows me to capture special moments in time and share them with the world. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that my work is a testament to the truth and power of God and his incredible creation.

Through the ongoing support of my print collectors and workshop participants, I am grateful to travel extensively year round and enjoy capturing new and original work.
