Otherworldly Land

Flying over the Painted Hills, in the remote Australian outback enabled me to see the spectacular landscape from above, but walking on this land and experiencing the other-worldly atmosphere from a ground level perspective was quite surreal. These ancient hills with amazing colour and form, sit majestically in ethereal silence, and I’ve tried to capture that spirit in this series.

As a Photographic Artist, I am inspired by, and search for, beauty in the natural world. I’m drawn to textures, colours, patterns, forms and light and shade in the landscape and in nature. These design elements feature strongly in my art, no doubt due to my education in graphic design. I love to capture detail and explore various interpretations and compositions of a scene or subject. My professional expertise as an Art Director enables me to capture images with the intent of elevating an ordinary subject to one that aims to be visually extraordinary.
