This photo was captured of the rising moon over Tokyo. This was photographed with my Sony G master 100-400mm lens on the Sony A7riii. The photo was blown up to 100% and cropped. It’s nice to see all the detail in the landscape of the moon. You can really get a sense of it’s craters and how meteors have sculpted it’s landscape over billions of years.
Travel Photography, The end of the Cherry Blossom
Due to the Corona virus and the state of emergency in Tokyo and Japan I wasn’t really free to hit all the the Cherry blossom landscape locations that I wanted to to photograph. However luckily for me I have a temple a few doors down from my house in Kamiosaki, Tokyo that has some really old and established Cherry blossom trees.
As a photographer I moved to Tokyo for some new inspiration and it’s nice to live around and photograph these beautiful temples and experience the rich culture and every day life of Japan.
Landscape Photography, Cherry Blossom tree, Ibaraki, Japan.
During Cherry Blossom time in Japan you see many beautiful sights. But sometimes you see a tree that really captures your attention. I love photographing landscapes and nature so when traveling around I always have my eyes open. We were on our way to an editorial portrait shoot fro a magazine when I saw this tree and had to stop to photograph it. The colours and flowers were amazing and the contrast against the deep blue sky made fro some beautiful photos.
Graveyard, Ibaraki, Japan.
I think it’s a fascinating thing to look at how people all around the world bury and pay tribute to the dead. I stopped and photographed this graveyard in The Japanese countryside just out of Tokyo. It caught my eye with its aesthetic as I drove by and I felt compelled to stop and explore. As a photographer I take many photos that I don’t necessarily understand at the time. But I feel that they are like historical documents that hold their importance in their aesthetic. Hopefully to be seen and admired a long time in the future.
Bare trees, Ibaraki, Japan.
On a hike at Mt Tsukuba not far from Tokyo I came across these trees and loved the gnarly shapes. I always see art in Nature and landscapes and feel compelled to photograph them when I see beauty. The patterns are like sculptural forms. As a photographer I love capturing these things as a form of meditation.

A few landscapes that I photographed on a hike with my family. Day trip from Tokyo.
Landscape Photography, Kawasaki Industrial area.
As a part of my ongoing Tokyo Industrial photo series I have been out shooting landscapes in the Keihin industrial areas. These areas have a really interesting light and feeling with the factories working 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is quiet and empty at nighttime and an interesting world to roam.
As an art series these large format photographic landscapes or nightscapes represent the world that man has created. The future of year on year growth in consumption.
Travel Photography, Shibuya Scramble Square, Tokyo, Japan.
Whilst shooting a travel editorial for the Virgin inflight magazine we visited the new Shibuya Sky viewing deck on top of the Shibuya Scramble building. It is a great view for photographing cityscapes of Tokyo and seeing this massive city. It is the perfect place to see the sunset and to see the glow of Tokyo come to life.
Landscape Photography. Daintree and Cairns, Australia.
I visited the area of Cairns and the Daintree rainforest for a few days for a an aerial film I was shooting. It was amazing!!! ( although living in Australia a lot of my life I hadn’t bee there before). The one thing I found hard was not being able to go in the water for the fear of being eaten by a crocodile or killed by a box jellyfish.

Travel Photography, The Last Class, Echigo Tsumari, Nigata, Japan.
Hello, World!
The Last class is one of the best art installations I have seen. It reminded me of a scene from a Murakami book as I walked along the dark hallways and booming sound emanated from a pitch black room that I was compelled to walk into. I felt like I was going to be swallowed up by some dark force. It was completely terrifying and intriguing at the same time. A must see if you get the chance to go.
