I got up early with my girlfriend and headed up to Mt Dandenong in Victoria and trekked around a few paths within the RJ Hamer Arboretum and these are my favourite shots from the journey.
Everyone loves shooting a golden hour shot even just on your IPhone. I am a sucker for them and have collected quite a few shots over the years. Here are a few of my favourites…
Huntington Beach – California
When Jack tagged along for the trip to California it was a last minute trip for him as he basically came because he wouldn’t have many people to ride with if he stayed at home so he booked a ticket and proceeded to destroy every spot we hit. Thanks to Chris Bracamonte, Tyler Fufii and Daniel Johnson for filming some of the 2nd angles…

I spend quite a bit of time on the road and for years I would see some crazy letter boxes out on the country back roads. It was almost as if people compete for the best letterbox. Over the past year or 2 I actually stopped at some of my favourites and shot them…
I live about 30 minutes from the Yarra Valley but I drive through it quite often when heading north on a trip. I’ve always wanted to head down for a couple hours and just shoot the surroundings so on christmas eve of 2013 my girlfriend and I hit it up during golden hour and this is what I came back with. I really only scratched the surface of what there is to shoot so more adventures are needed.
I love shooting photos from a moving car, it’s not often I am a passenger in a car but when I am and it’s in a new city I will try make the most of it. A few months back on a trip around California I drove around the city with my friend Chris Bracamonte and shot these random photos heading to different spots we were riding.
Jason Watts is from Brisbane, AUS but whilst he was in the USA last year he tagged along on a trip we took to Woodward West and proceeded to shred the place. Jason was always smiling and just going about his business enjoying the parks. I hit him up to film some clips so he had something too look back on from his time there and this is what came of it. Some of the dirt clips were a little dark for my liking due to the sun going down but Jason’s riding would out shine the filming on any given day…
