The Caves of Karamea

The Oparara Basin Arches require a considerable detour to reach: they are at the very top of the West Coast region, near the town of Karamea. Despite the long drive, this is a truly must-see for every photographer visiting the South Island of New Zealand. The caves naturally frame the reflections of the surrounding landscape in the water, lending themselves to iconic images. I spent several hours at this location, enjoying the complete silence of nature afforded by their isolation, and the majesty of these geological formations.

Streets of Santorini

The villages of Fira, Imerovigli, and Emporio in Santorini are just as stunning as their more readily recognised cousin, the exclusively blue-and-white Oia. Here, the houses and churches take on different architectural styles and residents get a little more creative with their house paint colours. So here is a little more Santorini…

Visions of Blue and White

Oia village, in Santorini, is a minimalist photographer’s dream. The white buildings and their blue details sit crisply against the cloudless blue skies. Everywhere you look, you see only the colours of the Greek flag. The whole town is one large postcard you can walk through, with photo opportunities at (very literally) every corner. To me, this was one of the few places I’ve been where I found the harsh afternoon light in the middle of Summer to make for just as stunning images as sunrise and sunset. Oia took my breath away - enjoy some of my highlights below!
