WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT IN<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY?<br />
In the Sony World Photography Awards 2016 my<br />
image titled ‘They Were Here I Was There’ was<br />
commended in the general part of the panoramic<br />
category and won 3rd place in the National selection<br />
for NewZealand. That year the competition had over<br />
127,000 entries from a total of 186 countries. It was a<br />
great moment and gave me lots of exposure.<br />
My photos have also been chosen for National<br />
Geographic challenge assignments, another great<br />
achievement as NG photographers and editors select<br />
only a handful of images to illustrate their stories from<br />
a pool of more than ten thosand images! My photos<br />
were included here and here. This was the moment<br />
when I felt I could say ‘I made it’!<br />
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PHOTO THAT YOU<br />
HAVE TAKEN?<br />
This is a very difficult question! But I think the Return<br />
of Helios. It is symbolising the sun that is coming<br />
around although it was actually a sunrise, so it was a<br />
spectacular morning on the South Island – One of the<br />
most memorable moments in my life.<br />
THEY WERE HERE, I WAS THERE<br />
