Falls in New Zealand | Limited Edition of 10
Fine Art Waterfall Print from a New Zealand Fjord Landscape
This was one of those moments where the land felt ancient—like it had been carved by time, not just weather. I was deep in the New Zealand wilderness, hiking through damp forest trails that echoed with the low roar of something massive. That sound led me to this scene: a thunderous waterfall plummeting down a steep, moss-covered fjord wall. Water pounded against stone with so much force it sent clouds of mist swirling upward. The whole scene was alive—loud, cold, and grounded in something primal.
What stopped me wasn’t just the height or the sound—it was how the water moved with grace through all that ruggedness. The rock walls were almost vertical, dark and worn, but softened by vibrant green moss clinging in every crevice. It reminded me of Norwegian fjords, but there was something uniquely raw about this one—less travelled, more weathered. It didn’t feel like a tourist site; it felt like the earth caught mid-breath.
I framed the shot tight—not to show the full waterfall but to capture the part that felt most alive. You can see where the water hits the rock, fractures into spray, and slides into a pool hidden just out of frame. This isn’t the typical postcard view. It’s an invitation to pause and look closer, to feel the contrast of motion and stillness, of water against ancient stone.
There’s no artificial colour saturation here. What you see is what I saw. And I think that honesty matters—especially now, when so much imagery is simulated or enhanced beyond recognition. This is real, wild terrain. A real waterfall, crashing through a real fjord. And it’s this kind of experience that reminds me why I still carry a camera everywhere I go.
If this piece speaks to you, if you’ve ever stood by a roaring fjord or dreamed of misty cliffs and untouched wilderness, you’ll probably enjoy more work from the Waterfall Photography Collection and the Wilderness Photography Collection—they both hold the same kind of wild pulse.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
