There’s always a swell somewhere on this planet calling me and as long as the airlines are flying, so are my cameras. Occasionally, we get an upgrade, but honestly, I couldn’t care less. As long as I make it to the spot before the swell hits, I’m good.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY: Kicking Photographic Goals, Chasing Swells and Following my Creative Instincts. 2023 was a great year to be alive, to be free to travel the world, to attend surf events, explore new locations and experience all the magic this life has to offer.

This fine art photographic print captures the spectacular golden moon rising over Currumbin Alley on the Gold Coast. I feel privileged to live in a location where I can photograph the magical moods of the ocean. Mother nature provides a kaleidoscope of colour with every sunrise and sunset on our beautiful Gold Coast.

So surreal to be in the wild, (like) total wild, to be sitting there right next to a gorilla from me to you away was just - you know, it’s hard to describe what it felt like, but I sort of felt so insignificant but then it was so empowering as well - incredible - Mick Fanning describing his close encounter with a gorilla in Rwanda.

MICK FANNING: There was mounting tension that day, a sense of trepidation, exhilaration, respect, and extreme caution.

MONSTER SURF AT NIAS: The usual suspects, the team of big wave surf nomads that circulate the globe, arrived at a similar time to myself, in time for an 8-10ft swell.
