South Island Tiki Tour

Part road trip, part visual meditation, South Island Tiki Tour captures the spirit of slow travel through one of the most diverse and dramatic landscapes on earth. Over the course of three weeks, the journey meandered through endless lake vistas, weathered coastlines, alpine passes, and quiet country towns—each frame a response to light, mood, and moment.

The images reflect a photographer’s instinct to pause—often away from the expected viewpoints—to notice where texture, shadow, and silence come together. From the stillness of lake reflections to the geometry of power lines against brooding skies, this series finds meaning in both the majestic and the mundane.

Far from a checklist of postcard scenes, South Island Tiki Tour is a collection shaped by curiosity and chance. It’s an ode to detours, changing weather, and the kind of solitude that lets a landscape speak for itself.
