Night Surf #3445
Merewether Ocean Pool
‘Night Surf is a series of 6x17 format panorama images I made at Merewether Ocean Baths. It was a winter night when high surf surged over the rock shelf and across the pool. The artificial glow of poolside lighting blended with the natural world in an iridescent dance of exploding waves.
My years on this earth, filled with triumphs and tribulations, have shaped not only who I am but also my perspective as a photographer. A life experience of good and bad, yin and yang, light and dark, shapes how I react, anticipate, and appreciate.
This experience protects me. Sometimes, too much.
As I grow older, facing the finite nature of the future, it is tempting to shy away from new experiences - to label them as risks. But these 'risks' are rarely perilous. Most often, they are simply uncomfortable, and it's in these discomforts that we find our most significant growth.
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.
I like to capture many moments in a single frame, to hold the fragments of what I see and experience for longer. The result is a picture that compresses my observations in a mix of motion and emotion. And, in this series, light and dark. With the pretensions of a timelord, I witness familiar places differently whenever I open the lens.’

You can stand back to absorb the vista of the 6x17 format or draw close to experience every nuance of the museum-grade print. The thick, 310gsm cotton rag paper features a light texture, adding an extra dimension.
This Master Prints Edition, a testament to exclusivity, is limited to only two archival prints per image.

‘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.

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.
