On the Road - The Life of a Landscape Photographer

16-hour days, they're tough and very tiring, but that's what I have to do day after day if I'm working on a project such as a book. But this is my passion and it's not too hard to motivate myself, especially if the office is somewhere like New Zealand.

Things can and do frequently go wrong, the weather can be your friend and your enemy and can change in an instant, that amazing sunset that I thought I was going to get can quickly turn to nothing. Frustrating, especially if you've hiked uphill for an hour with 15 kilo's of equipment on your back.

How do I choose what to shoot? It's a long process, I'm very selective as to what I'll photograph; I like my pictures to have depth and spend many hours looking for the perfect location and when I find it I will wait until the light is just right. If I take 8 photographs in one day, that's a very good day.
It's all about quality, not quantity.
