The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2016
Wild and free
We live a simple life in rural New Zealand, what may seem like an unconventional lifestyle to some with alternative education and life without TV or modern electronic devices. I document our days, together, in an environment full of nature and uninhibited play.
A physical record of their childhood, life as it is, the real, a reflection of a childhood rooted deep in my own past,a most sincere place of freedom, that I now pass on to my own children. Although deeply personal I hope that others will also connect with their own childhood.
I believe my children are right where they belong covered in mud, running and living through nature, wild and free and earth connected in a way where the landscape begins and their little souls end.
