Photography started off as a hobby for me but pretty soon it turned into a passion and I have been doing Wildlife / Bird photography for close to five years. Having grown up on National Geographic magazines and Discovery Channel, it’s no surprise that my heart and passion lies in Wildlife / Bird photography. I am very passionate about the Conservation of our Wildlife / Birdlife that calls this pla

net ‘Home’ just as we do. I have been fortunate in that some of my work has been published in various newspapers, magazines and websites and you can see my published work in the 'News and Media' section of the Black Stallion Photography website (www.igallopfree.com). At this point I’ll stop talking and hand you over to my camera who will do the talking from here on... So feel free to trot around our page and hope you like what you see.

As some of us get ready to head back to work after the Christmas break, thought I'd share this serene image of a New Zealand Sealion deep in blissful slumber.

For those of you returning to work, hope you've had a restful break and for those of you who may still be off this week, wishing you a restful week ahead. New Zealand Sea Lion Trust Clearwater Wildlife Tours

Yellow-eyed penguins are one of the world's rarest penguin species.

So to see one out in the wild, returning to the mainland, is special but to see one out in the open waters of the Southern Ocean is super special indeed. 04012025 shows a Yellow-eyed penguin (Hoiho) captured in the golden light of dawn in the waters off the Otago coast, New Zealand...

When you get to a New Zealand Fur Seal Colony, take a few moments to let your eyes adjust to the landscape before you and slowly but surely you'll start seeing 'stones' moving and realise that they are not 'stones' but in fact New Zealand Fur Seals. Their camouflage is simply amazing as can be seen from 15122024 which shows a New Zealand Fur Seal pup perfectly blended into its surrounds.

Now is a great time to visit a New Zealand Fur Seal Colony as the seals are having their pups. This image was captured while out on tour with Clearwater Wildlife Tours

Was lovely to have recently received these progress shots that one of our customers sent through of them working through our 1000 piece White Heron jigsaw puzzle. Always nice to see our products come alive :)

In the words of our customer - "...while this puzzle was on the more 'challenging' end of the spectrum, the uneven puzzle shapes made it much easier"

You can order your very own jigsaw puzzle here: https://www.igallopfree.com/shop/ =37145

Our November 2024 Desktop Wallpaper shows a Humpback Whale as it emerges from the depths of the Southern Ocean off the coast of Kaikōura. Humpback whales are Baleen whales - whales which use keratinaceous baleen plates (or "whalebone") in their mouths to sieve planktonic creatures from the water.

A big shout out to the team of skilled pilots and knowledgable staff at You guys are awesome :)

Thanks to extraordinarily generous support from The Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance - The OPERA, New Zealand Sea Lion Trust is pleased to announce that the total reward in respect of the Catlins sea lion shootings has now been increased to $11,000.

The New Zealand Sea Lion Trust (NZSLT) has increased the reward it is offering for information leading to a conviction for the shooting of a young female pup, in light of evidence that the pup’s mum, Jade, has also been shot and killed.

NZSLT is extremely grateful for its incredible supporters and donors at what has been a very sad time for our team. From the messages of encouragement NZSLT has received, it is clear how outraged the community feels about killing of these peaceful animals.

NZSLT appreciates people getting behind our appeal to seek justice for Jade and her pup. They are helping to send a strong message that this abhorrent behaviour is not acceptable in New Zealand.

This is truly an exciting time to visit The Royal Albatross Centre - the only mainland breeding colony of the Northern Royal Albatross in New Zealand. Exciting because on the one hand you get to see dedicated parents looking after their single chick. Currently, during the guard stage, one parent stays with the chick 24/7 while the other parent spends time out at sea foraging for food swapping over guard duties every three to four days. On the other hand, we get to see teenagers who have returned to land after spending close to 5 years out at sea and they have only one thing on their mind - putting on a show to impress their future life partner. And one of the ways they do this is by having a good ol' teenager party. Watch the video in 4K with your audio on and you'll see what I mean :)

This year to mark Penguin Awareness Day allow me to turn the spotlight on our very own Hoiho - Yellow-eyed penguins - the only penguin in the world with a pale yellow band through the eye. All images and video footage was captured on the Canon R5 paired with a Canon RF 800mm f11 lens. Clearwater Wildlife Tours Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust Canon New Zealand

Clicking for Conservation

Photography started off as a hobby for me but pretty soon it turned into a passion and I have been doing Wildlife and Bird photography for close to ten years. Having grown up on National Geographic magazines and Discovery Channel, it’s no surprise that my heart and passion lies in Wildlife / Bird photography. I am very passionate about the conservation of our Wildlife / Birdlife that calls this planet ‘Home’. We, as the most intelligent and advanced species to inhabit this Earth, have a moral obligation to preserve what we have NOT destroy it. I primarily use my work to raise money for Conservation - hence doing my bit through my photography. If each of us did our little bit in our own very special way, think of the collective effect it will have on the environment, OUR environment.

I have been fortunate in that some of my work has been published in various newspapers, magazines and websites both in New Zealand and around the world.

The latest opportunity that I have been fortunate to have some of my work published in is ‘The Hunters’ by Debbie Stewart - a landmark book published by Penguin Random House New Zealand and due to be launched on the 28th of May, 2018. This very first book of its kind in New Zealand presents all of Aotearoa’s amazing Birds of Prey - from the extinct Giant Eagle Hōkioi to the swooping Kārearea, soaring Kāhu and the secretive Ruru. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to Wingspan, New Zealand’s National Bird of Prey Centre, an organisation that works tirelessly for the conservation and preservation of New Zealand’s Birds of Prey including the Kārearea (New Zealand Falcon).

At this point I’ll stop talking and hand you over to my camera and I’ll let it do the talking from here on...
