Spring evening near Kutchan—
melting snow, soft light, and swans out in the fields.

Came across Shima Enaga (シマエナガ), a Hokkaido subspecies of the long-tailed tit, moving through the trees.

Small, fast-moving, and rarely still for long.

Winter forest studies from Hokkaido.

Made by slowing down and paying attention.

Lake Onuma is one of the calmest places I’ve photographed in southern Hokkaido.
Small islands, misty reflections, and quiet autumn colour.
I’ve put together blog post about the area — link in the first comment.

Autumn in Hokkaido — the forests here turn into a living painting. 🍁
After years of chasing winter, I finally stayed long enough to see what this island looks like in every season.
From frozen forests and cranes in winter to fiery hillsides like this in autumn — every few months it feels like a different world.

I’ve just published my new blog:
“Photographing in Hokkaido Through the Seasons.”

New blog up featuring some of the wildlife I’ve photographed on the Otago Peninsula.
These shots are of the royal albatross — the world’s largest seabird, with a wingspan of up to 3 metres and weighing around 8–10 kg. https://blog.brendanreevesphotography.com/otago-peninsula-wildlife-photography-guide/

Photography is my meditation.
When my mind’s racing or I feel overwhelmed, I grab my camera and head outside. I’m not chasing the perfect shot—I’m just slowing down, tuning in, and seeing what’s actually there.

In my latest blog post, I share how this simple habit helps me manage ADHD, find calm, and take better photos by being present.

Yakushima’s forests feel like stepping into another world — ancient trees draped in moss, and wild monkeys watching from the branches.
These are just a few moments from my recent trip to this raw, rain-soaked island.
