Merewether Ocean Baths, Australia
The Numbers
‘Australia’s Ocean Baths are very familiar to my camera. Often a visual feast, ‘The Baths' can be just as sensory with eyes closed.
Squeals of fun, the slap of bare feet on wet concrete, crashing waves and the squarks of seagulls picture the story of the Australian coast indelibly on my mind.
These coastal pools, spread around Australia, were initially built to wet and cool the citizens on hot summer days, safe from the fear of sharks. Now, they also hold memories and remnants of past living and lives.
Worn, whitewashed steps have seen the same feet skip and later shuffle, growing from tiny and soft to gnarled and wide. Holding small, excited hands, parents have nurtured the tentative steps of offspring beginning memories of their own. These places are community - the gathering places of clans and friends.
On this blue sky winter’s day, I set my camera to capture the water’s texture best as a light breeze softly rustled it.’

Every picture I have made encapsulates the essence of my story. Each piece is unique, whether it is intricate details, obscure abstracts, or expansive vistas. The artistry in my archival, museum-quality prints is crafted to evoke emotion and capture moments in time.

‘I make photographs to hang on walls and be appreciated for lifetimes. The soft texture of these bright white papers is integral to how I want you to see and ‘feel’ my work.’
Foley Fine Art Prints are supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. They are expertly crafted to ensure archival quality on Ilford Prestige Galerie Smooth Cotton Rag or Hahnemühle Photo Rag heavyweight paper. The paper size allows for a 20mm white border, but as I treat each scene individually, different pictures may have bespoke crop or form factors.
Australia-wide delivery is free via trackable courier, fully insured for damages. Please allow 14-21 days for production and delivery.
For Australian-based clients, framing options include dry-mounting your giclée print to an acid-free 5mm foam board with an archival adhesive film.

The frame is finished with framer’s tape and stainless steel hanging wire.
