We met Jay in Alice Springs in July and he took us on a journey to Glen Helen Gorge for a night to watch the stars. It was amazing to hear his passion for the area and the night skies in the NT. You need to do a one of Jay’s tours.

Jay was a great tour host and the location was as magical as described. He has great photography knowledge, but more than anything was Jay’s obvious passion for the locations and habitats. Looking forward to visiting again.

Apart from learning more about photography I also know so much more about the terrain, history & magnitude of the Blue Mountains National Park.

The tour was amazing, I had unforgettable experience, learning about long exposure techniques, composition, understanding the surrounding environment and weather and their impacts on taking nice shots, and more.

Jay truly stands out as an exceptional photographer, embodying a rare combination of approachability, humility, and profound knowledge in his craft.
