Vava'u, Tonga
THE LAST CARVERS
Three brothers in Tonga keep a family carving tradition alive, working whale bone, whale tooth, and wood into things that stop you mid-step at the local market. Every design is original. They don't copy other carvers. Never have.

Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
PROTECT NINGALOO
I lived on the doorstep of one of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet. Ningaloo is home to whale sharks, manta rays, humpback whales, tiger sharks, hammerheads, dolphins, dugongs, and turtles, all sharing a reef system that stretches over 300 kilometres along the Western Australian coast. But last summer, a mass bleaching event hit hard. From the Exmouth Gulf to the outer reef, the signs of stress were everywhere. This is a place worth fighting for, and Protect Ningaloo is leading that fight.

Niue Island, South Pacific
TREASURING WHALES IN NIUE
Niue is one of the world's smallest nations but one of its most extraordinary ocean environments, crystal-clear waters plunging to abyssal depths just metres from shore, with humpback whales and spinner dolphins as year-round neighbours. I spent time with Oma Tafua, the grassroots NGO founded by Fiafia Rex that has spent over 20 years documenting and protecting Niue's endangered Oceania humpback whales. Their name means "to treasure whales", and that's exactly what they do, on a budget most organisations wouldn't survive on. I was there to help tell their story through video and photography.

Vava'u, Tonga
SINGING GIANTS OF TONGA
There is nothing that prepares you for the moment a 40-tonne humpback whale looks you in the eye from three metres away. Every August, the warm waters of Vava'u become a nursery for mothers and their newborn calves, and being invited into that world, even briefly, is one of the most profound experiences the ocean can offer. This is the story of what it feels like to swim alongside giants.

Torres Strait, Australia
GUARDIANS OF SEA COUNTRY
In the Torres Strait, conservation isn't a new idea, it's been practised for thousands of years. Working alongside Traditional Owners on Moa and Mer Islands, I've seen firsthand how Indigenous knowledge and modern science can work together to protect some of the most biodiverse marine environments on Earth. From Indigenous Protected Areas to community-led reef monitoring, these are the real guardians of sea country.

Fiji
ROOTS & REEFS OF FIJI
In Fiji's mangrove forests and coastal villages, conservation happens at the intersection of ecology and culture. From beche-de-mer research with local communities to mangrove documentation and cultural exchange, this story follows the work of connecting marine science with the people who depend on healthy oceans for their livelihoods, and who have been managing these ecosystems long before anyone called it conservation.

Everywhere
ONE BREATH, ONE FRAME
Most of my best work happens on a single breath. Freediving changed how I see the ocean, stripped back the noise of bubbles and gear and left just silence, light, and the animal in front of me. This piece is about the craft of underwater photography and freediving, why I choose to shoot on breath-hold, how it changes the relationship with wildlife, and what it takes to get the shot when you've got 60 seconds before you need to surface.
