Fordie's Photos

 With over five decades behind the camera, I’ve spent a lifetime exploring the art and craft of photography. Now retired, I’m able to dedicate my time fully to my passion — capturing the beauty and character of Australia’s eastern coast, where the landscapes are as dynamic as the light that shapes them.

My recent venture into infrared photography, using a converted Canon mirrorless Camera, has opened new creative possibilities and allowed me to see familiar scenes in entirely new ways. From my early days developing black and white images by hand to my current digital work, my approach has always been guided by craftsmanship, patience, and a respect for natural light.

I strive to create each image in-camera, allowing the moment to speak for itself without relying heavily on post-production. Through FordiesPhotos, I hope to share the stories, moods, and quiet beauty that have inspired me throughout my photographic journey.
