RSS Feed Enchanted Isles - The Southern Gulf Islands

Enchanted Isles - The Southern Gulf Islands has been a wonderful project that I was fortunate to work on for the past few years. Enchanted Isles is the result of two years of travel through these spectacular islands. I met many wonderful people, spent many weekends at the endless festivals and explored beaches and trails on almost every island, some accessible only by private boat. I hope you enjoy this personal view of the incredibly beautiful Southern Gulf Islands.

  Equipment

Nikon D2X, D300 and lenses

I’m often asked what type of equipment I use and what my digital workflow entails. Most of the photographs in this book were shot with a Nikon D2X, a very versatile and workhorse of a camera. At 12.4 mp, the D2X is capable of producing images that I think are far superior to the quality […]
