  • The Tree of Life - named this because 'branches' stem from a watery trunk, this landscape is found in the shallows of Shark Bay. From the air it looks like someone has painted their way across a sandy canvas...it was also about this point in my flight that I'd hit my limit of turbulence...luckily we weren't too far from the airport! I'll be sharing more from this project soon on The Wandering Lens but for now, I've just published my guide to Tokyo's Photography Locations, a total contrast to this tranquil scene. #thewanderinglens #olympusinspired @olympus_au
  • Palettes - the contrasting tones of Western Australia's coastline are something I'll always hope to photograph again. From the air, the depth of teal seas and shallow burnt coloured sands is visible in an extraordinary display of natural elements. Having a personal project within your photography is something I believe helps keep the motivation and creativity flowing...for me it's landscapes like this, almost otherworldly patterns formed by the elements or seasons. Do you have a personal project or subject you like to photograph? #thewanderinglens #olympusinspired @olympus_au
  • Deer, oh deer 🦌 When you're trying to find that angle that hides your double chin...scroll across to see the results! This little cutie was very focused on the yellow Gingko leaves I was holding in front of my lens and posed up a storm! The @olympus_au 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens is ideal for portrait photography so instead of testing it out on my own face (those photos would never see the light of day), I focused instead on the Sika Deer of Nara Park in Japan during last weeks photo tour. Photo tip - Holding an object close to your lens while shooting with a wide aperture results in a pop of colour, I love using flowers and leaves to integrate a little bit of nature into my images! 🍁 #olympusinspired #thewanderinglens
  • The blend of autumn foliage and lush bamboo in the garden of Gio-ji Temple, Arashiyama. It's one of my favourite photography spots, somewhere you can wander slowly photographing the leaves, colours and patterns of this hidden gem. During Koyo season, the usually green moss covered garden bed is draped in a carpet of red, orange and yellows. Taken with the @olympus_au 40-150mm M.Zuiko f2.8 PRO lens, my go to for capturing the details within a landscape with a wide open aperture. #olympusinspired #thewanderinglens #visitjapanAU

  • This is my happy place, underwater. Swimming around with a camera in my hand, flippers on my feet, attempting all sorts of angles and perspectives before realising I'm not a freediver and gasp for breath at the surface. A new video captured by the amazing @filmic_pro was released today and shares all about how I set up my @olympus_au equipment for underwater photography. Filmed in the @whitsundaysqld it also shows a peek of the gorgeous Great Barrier Reef. Thanks to @michaelhurren_1 for this shot! 📷💦 #olympusinspired #lovewhitsundays #thewanderinglens
  • Chisled sands and turquoise seas...Hill Inlet is a landscape photographers dream and on our recent trip we flew over and experienced it from the ground while filming a video all about my amazing @olympus_au gear for underwater photography. Take a peek at the link in my profile to see the full video. #olympusinspired #lovewhitsundays @whitsundaysqld
  • Underwater photography has helped shape my career as a photographer and today, a little video was released by @olympus_au in which I talk all about my obsession with split-level photos and the @whitsundaysqld 💦 I'll pop the video link in my stories if you want to take a peek at what the amazing @filmic_pro created...if you saw how sea monstery I looked underwater you'd know how talented he truly is! This image was captured during the video shoot at Hardy Reef with the OM-D E-M1 MKII + 7-14mm f2.8 lens inside the PT-EP 14 housing 📷 #olympusinspired
  • INSTAMEET - Summer is coming and on December 1st I'll be welcoming it with a sunset Instameet in @portmacquarie. We'll be meeting at @saltycrewkiosk at 6:30pm for a photo walk, swim or just to watch the sun go down on the first day of summer. It's free and I'll share some photography tips then you can use the hashtag #iloveportmacquarie to get involved! See you there, feel free to message if you've got any questions ☀️ - ps, I'll be teaching how to capture a shot like this, blurring waves using a slow shutter with my @olympus_au + 12-40mm f2.8 PRO lens. You don't need a tripod so bring along whatever camera you have and lets capture Port Macquarie's gorgeous Town Beach! #olympusinspired
  • No matter how many mornings I spend beneath this bamboo canopy I can never get enough of it's infectious ambience. The rustle of leaves, the glow of sunlight peeking between the stems and the calming tones of green upon greener as locals go about their morning walks and take advantage of this peaceful corridor when it's crowd free. 🎋 I'm still in Japan leading a photo tour but for the next few posts I'll be sharing some upcoming and recent projects...stay tuned for more Koyo colours from Kyoto soon! Taken just after sunrise with the 40-150mm M.Zuiko PRO lens | ISO 200 | f2.8 | 1/40sec 📷 @olympus_au #olympusinspired
