Night Surf #3454 - Merewether Ocean Pool

from $850.00

Night Surf #3454 follows a sequence of softly rising and falling wave forms across the panoramic frame. A stronger crest toward the left introduces vertical movement while the remainder of the surf dissolves into a quieter luminous horizon. The extended exposure turns an energetic ocean into an image that feels simultaneously turbulent and still.

‘Comfort stifles creativity. The comfort of 'pretty' pictures makes me uncomfortable. Amazing sunrises, postcard landscapes, software exaggerated light and texture - the sameness of photography on Instagram. I imagine pictures that challenge my creative comfort thresholds.’ - Read more on my blog.
