Artwork Description

“The earth is art, the photographer is only a witness.” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above.

'Etched' - Limited Edition 1 of 1.

'Etched' is an abstract aerial photograph of a landscape from the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.

This photograph shows one of the best examples of the naturally occurring phenomenons, where patterns and textures are formed by the difference in salinity in the water. The salty and less salty water circulates and forms convection rolls beneath the surface and are “squeezed” together and produce hexagonal, honeycomb-like patterns.

This location is a favourite of mine, colours changing with the seasons, but more importantly, located on the Yorke Peninsula which is full of colourful and abstract photographic opportunities. I enjoy exploring and finding these rare and unseen landscapes and turning them into artworks, and I hope you enjoy them, too.

310gsm 100% cotton rag archival paper is used in conjunction with Epson Ultrachrome archival inks to produce beautifully rich, vibrant colours and deep blacks.

Framed in a beautiful solid white oak frame. Please allow 10-14 days for printing, framing & shipping.

Artist Bio

I’m an Australian photographer specialising in abstract landscape photography, exploring the quiet relationship between land, pattern, and perspective. Through aerial imagery and considered composition, I aim to reveal the subtle geometry and rhythm that naturally occurs within the environment — often transforming familiar terrain into something contemplative and unexpected.

Much of my work is captured across South Australia’s diverse landscapes, from mineral-rich coastal flats to expansive inland textures. I’m particularly drawn to repetition, striation, and tonal contrast, and how these natural elements can create images that feel both minimal and visually engaging. By shifting perspective, I enjoy highlighting details that might otherwise go unnoticed.

My approach is intentionally simple. I try to let the subject speak through balance, form, and light, allowing the natural structure of the landscape to become the focus. The result sits between fine art and observation, with the hope that each piece brings a sense of calm and quiet intrigue.

I’ve been fortunate to have my work recognised through several photographic competition finalist placements, including The Australian Photographic Prize, where I was awarded a Gold Medal. While recognition is always encouraging, my main focus is creating images that feel timeless and considered.

Ultimately, I aim to create photographs that invite people to slow down and see the landscape differently — discovering beauty in subtle detail, and bringing a sense of stillness into the spaces where the work is displayed.
