Sustain: Antarctica Exhibition

An exclusive suite of my Antarctic photographs was featured in the 2025 Auckland Festival of Photography.

The work was selected by the festival director as part of this year’s theme of ‘Sustain’ [tautīnei] that examines the intense, often conflicting interplay between human survival, environmental limits, and ethical awareness. Encouraging us to question our role within a larger framework and to consider what it means to care for our planet and all forms of life.

The work was exhibited on eight light box panels on Auckland Waterfront at Karanga Plaza, Auckland, 23 May – 12 June 2025.

Antarctica Expedition 2026

Some places imprint themselves on you — not in words, but in the quiet power of an image and the stillness it holds. Antarctica is one of them. On this rare expedition, you’ll journey beyond the edge of the map to capture a world of stark beauty, elemental silence, and fleeting wildlife moments few ever witness — and even fewer have the privilege to photograph.

Anybody looking to travel down to Antarctica, I'm guiding another expedition there in 2026; click here for further information.
