I am a fine art landscape photographer from Melbourne, Australia. I have been photographing the Australian ‘bush’ for over 10 years.
I want to show that the landscape is a subject to be appreciated, understood, and valued, not just an object to be briefly admired then ignored.
The natural world can at times seem to be very mysterious and chaotic – I like to hilight the rhythms and structure within the chaos to help us understand what nature is doing.
I try to make my images engaging, so that you feel your a part of the environment when you look into my work.
There is quite a difference between an image of an object, and an image of a subject. It’s very easy to objectify a rock, a tree or a waterfall. But to treat these things as subjects, to identify with them, and to engage with them as you make a photograph takes an image to a whole different level. When the final image is then seen hanging on a wall, hopefully you feel compelled to relate to the image as though you were there in my shoes making the image with me. The photograph carries with it some of the feeling and engagement I had when I pressed the shutter to create the initial image. I try to create a window into the natural world, giving the impression you can step through the image into the scene before you. There are many photographs of nature. Mine are about nature.
We are of this world, and the continuation and prosperity of the human race is directly tied to the prosperity of the natural environment. The more we appreciate the natural world, the more we are likely to look after it, and thus look after ourselves.
