The Yearly Recap — 2023
A tradition I kicked off at the end of 2022, to look back on a bunch of work from throughout the year, something I rarely do. I guess I’ve always appreciated the forward motion—an instinct of momentum in seeking new perspectives with photos. Although I must admit, I enjoyed putting together a few stills from 2022, so I thought I’d do the same this year. Rather than compile my favourites I’ve set myself some parameters. 1 x photo from each of the calendar month that best sums it up.
Without further ado, here are 12 photos from 2023. ↓
January ↟
Home for New Year. Time spent with the family back in New Zealand and finding some new places in the back country.
February ↟
Summer in Australia. 40ºc days and literally most days spent by the ocean.
March ↟
A week in Queenstown climbing the surrounding peaks in late summer. I also celebrated my 40th birthday.
April ↟
Local headlands in Lennox Head. It’s always a place I come to photograph when the swell conditions are right. Your bound to find some great surfers as subjects.
May ↟
This was my biggest production to date. I teamed up with La Marzocco Home to showcase their newest home espresso machine from a different perspective. “Take the Cafe with You” was born out of the inspiration to adventure with espresso.

June ↟
In June I found a new hobby. The love for gravel biking and exploring at a faster pace. Is anyone keen to join on a gravel biking adventure? let me know.
July ↟
The home coffee set-up! A chrome Linea Micra from La Marzoccco.
August ↟
The surf conditions are good again in Lennox Head. The cooler temps bringing the softer light of winter.
September ↟
A quieter month, mostly spent in the studio. Although I did manage to visit a couple of spots in the mountains of NSW that I hadn’t visited before.
October ↟
October was mostly spent in New Zealand working with the team at Wilderness Motorhomes on a tourism project. We travelled the south island for many days looking for places unseen. You can view the project on the link
November ↟
A local based project with Oru Kayak.
December ↟
To wrap up 2023 I worked closely with the team at Canon Australia on bringing print projects to life. Look out in the coming weeks of 2024 as I share a short film & photo project with both the Australian & New Zealand Canon teams.
