Welcome to this portfolio of images selected from my photo shoots from the Flinders Ranges. Some of these are included in my book The Flinders Ranges - A Delicate Balance. 

The region where I shoot is around 500kms north of Adelaide and one that I have come to know well and like very much. 'Arid wastelands' was a term used by the first colonial government to describe the Ranges north of Adelaide and beyond. The Flinders Ranges have a variable climate that is for sure, but desert wastelands they are not.  My photographs describe ancient sites and  nature’s differing seasonal faces. They divide roughly between middle and northern ranges, that is the famous central gorges such as Bunyeroo and Wilpena Pound, and then Arkaroola and surrounds some 200kms north east by road. 

I wish to thank the Adnyamathanha people for access to their lands, and the management of Oratunga Station, as well as the people of Nipapanha where I stayed and took shots of the Gammon Ranges nearby.

I also wish to thank the Arkaroola management for allowing me free access to photograph Acacia ridge.  

I print images on a matt high quality cotton rag paper with archival inks, in limited editions maximum 25, size dependant. They can be presented behind glass or sealed and framed as you wish.

If you are looking for high quality limited edition photographs which reflect the beauty of the Australian outback please consider the works in the home page folders below. Prints are available in a range of sizes, small, medium and extra large, and selected images as panoramas, framed or unframed. Enquiries by phone or email are welcome. I also license my digital files.
