The journey
It looks like training for some crazy adventure race, but no, its actually an 'how can I get up to the top of this mountain range as fast as possible and back down again to photograph at sunset'.
Studio in the cold
Nothing better than working with the fire going and a big cup of coffee! A cold winter morning in Nelson, New Zealand in the studio.
