Location Preview

Why the Sapphire Coast?

I was born and raised here on the Sapphire Coast, and it remains one of the most beautiful places in Australia. Sculpted sea stacks, sapphire water and Bortle-2 skies set the stage for unforgettable photos.

It would be a privilege to show you my childhood haunts—Horse Head Rock at sunrise, surf drama at Camel Rock, pastel Australia Rock sunsets and Milky Way arcs over Glasshouse Rocks—and teach you how to capture them perfectly.
