I loved that this sunset falling over Wilson’s Promontory, Victoria, partly hidden, was very subtle and rather than become the main point of interest, it was delicate enough to cast colour across The Big Drift, the sand dunes of Wilson’s Promontory, Victoria, softly highlighting the texture of the sand dunes, against the silhouette of a lone small tree.
I grew up on a farm in Australia, where I often witnessed the power of nature, both the good and the bad. I sometimes had mixed feelings that nature could be both beautiful and brutal at the same time, but it always left me in awe.
I then came to Melbourne where I worked as a designer but was interested in photography from early on, sometimes using it in my work.
When high end digital photography became accessible, my thirst for knowledge and passion grew exponentially and I began to win international awards, becoming obsessed with catching a special moment and bringing it to the world.
