Profile

Neal is a professional international landscape photographer, based in Australia. His passion for landscape photography and desire to achieve the very best possible image through research and time dedication on location waiting for just the right light in which to photograph the scene is unmatched.

Twice each day mother nature shines with her warm light. At either dusk or dawn the colors of nature come into brilliance, showcasing the land, sea and sky.

Capturing that light is a passion of mine that seems to grow stronger with each passing shoot. To capture mother natures light and the beauty she unfolds has become my absorbing pursuit and I hope it also highlights that we don’t own this world we are merely here to witness its beauty in all shapes and forms.

Photographing in the early and late afternoon allows me to use minimal digital manipulation. While I do use neutral density filters to even out bright skies and darker land scenes. I do not use any colored filters rather I let mother nature show her beauty through color and form.

At this stage I do not endorse nor represent any manufacture and/or company.

Dale Frank - The three day Great Ocean Road Workshop with Neal has completely changed the way I take my photographs and also post process my images.
Would recommend Neal’s workshops to anyone who wishes to get more out of their photography.

Ricardo .C - ”Thank you Neal for the one-on-one workshop today. Your approach was effective and nothing was left out and I appreciate you ensuring that you answered all of my questions. Was definitely worth the small investment”

Michael Taylor Education and Training Co-ordinator Busselton Camera Club - The one day workshop was a real hit with our members. It was interesting and ‘hands on’ and the way you used some of their own images taken during the day and made them ‘pop’ by applying minimal post processing was both inspirational and educational.

Jill Fisher - ”It was a wonderful workshop and my first time visiting Great Ocean Road. Although I’m not exactly a beginner, Neal was a very good instructor and always very helpful when needed. I would recommend anyone who wants to photograph this part of the world to join one of Neal’s workshops, he knows the area very well and has a passion for landscapes and it shows”.

David Lanigan -”The one day course with Neal was both enjoyable and informative. Neal was very hands on for the entire process –  from camera settings and helping frame your shot, to the post processing techniques used to bring your images to life. Questions were not a problem and everything was answered thoroughly in a friendly manner.”
