The Rocky Shoreline of South Bondi Beach, Australia

Be seduced by a black & white fine art print.

The rocky shoreline at South Bondi Beach can be a mystical place in the first light of dawn.

The long exposure I used here washed the waves into a blur of water and light.

I take time to absorb the light, the dark and the tones in between.

All the while visualising the final print, before opening the shutter.

“A picture isn’t real until you hold it…”

I love sharing my passion for photograpy!

Aspects of my photographic journey live in each picture, whether it is fresh observations of favourite places, intricate details, obscure abstracts, or breathtaking vistas.

Every print is a celebration of the light and shadow that feeds my inspiration and emotion. The small, limited editions make them even more special.

These archival, museum-quality prints, capturing both brief and long moments in time, are witness to the natural and human experiences I search for.

Meticulously crafted on thick, cotton rag paper, they are sustainably framed or rolled ready for your preferred framer.
