Sunrise.
Newcastle Beach, Australia.
#4873, March 13, 2024
This is a long exposure of sunrise at The Point, Newcastle Beach, Australia. It features blurred waves against the sharp detail of the rock shelf and the green algae covering parts of it.
If you look at the detail image, you can make out two slightly blurred seagulls on the rockshelf. From my high viewpoint, I didn’t notice them when I took the picture. As I walked down to the beach to find a different angle, a surfer crossing the rocks asked for help.
He had noticed the two seagulls seemed to be playing tug-of-war. On closer inspection, we saw that small fish hooks caught them on each beak, and about 30 cm of thin fishing line linked them.
With the help of another surfer, the three of us caught the gulls and removed the hook from one of them. Unfortunately, the other bird had swallowed the hook.
One of my fellow rescuers was able to bite the excess line off near the beak, and both birds flew off.
Every picture I have made encapsulates the essence of my story. Whether it is intricate details, obscure abstracts, or expansive vistas, each piece is unique. The artistry in my archival, museum-quality prints is crafted to evoke emotion and capture moments in time.
This Limited Edition is available in two sizes, with a maximum of two prints plus up to two Artist Proofs.

‘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.’

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.
