I’m a British Army veteran now based in Auckland, New Zealand — these days, my battles are mostly with unpredictable weather, tangled camera straps, and seagulls with attitude. After a career of structure and precision, I found a new mission behind the camera — capturing the quiet drama of landscapes, cityscapes, and the occasional well-timed coffee break.

Photography started as a creative escape and has grown into a full-time obsession. With a Fujifilm cameras in hand, I chase honest, atmospheric images whether it’s a misty morning on the coast or traffic trails in the city. The journey’s not always smooth (especially with sand in your gear), but it’s real — and that’s what I aim to capture.

I roam the country in Van-Diesel — my faithful 2014 Multivan — sharing the highs, lows, and lens cap mishaps on YouTube.But none of this would happen without Jo, my wife and ultimate support crew. She keeps everything balanced and brings her own kind of healing through her massage therapy business, JSRM based in Campbells Bay.
