Jos wins in the Landscape Awards 2023!
I am so pleased to have received a Top 10 Award in The Landscape Awards 2023 for my photo of Te Mata Peak. I also received two Top 50 Awards for other photos taken from Te Mata Peak, and a Highly Commended Award for my photo of Mount Taranaki.
The Landscape Awards is hosted by Australian Photography, and was open to Australian and New Zealand amateur and professional photographers. This competition received over 2,000 entries in 2023.
Congratulations to the winners and finalists of this competition, and I can’t wait to see mine and the other top photos printed in the June-July ’23 edition of the Australian Photography magazine.

This was one of those magic mornings where everything just seemed to come together: a peak and valley, an interesting sky, fog, sun, colour, birds, and interesting lines (x marks the spot).
Nature's tug of war between land and fog as witnessed from Te Mata Peak. Usually the land wins, but the fog doesn't give up and tries again the next day...
A moody close-up of the trees at the base of Te Mata Peak. The early morning fog obscures the land underneath and behind the trees, stripping the landscape back to a minimalist scene.

Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback, as it helps me grow my photography!
Jos will hold an exhibition in the Creative Arts Napier gallery from 31st January to 13th February 2025. The exhibition is called The Magic of Fog and Light and features landscape photos of Hawke’s Bay.
