Tent Quarters

Surf Camp Base at Gnaraloo Sheep Station. The campsite visuals created an inspiration to produce a moody typical army scene.
The military style tents and awnings amongst the arid, sandy ground and sparse vegetation hint practicality, possibly utilitarian purpose over luxury. A dusty 4x4 vehicle is partially visible in the foreground, indicating the remoteness of the location.

The atmosphere is one of quiet resilience and perhaps a sense of temporary habitation in a harsh but beautiful landscape. The image evokes themes of adventure, survival, and solitude.
The style of the image is deliberate artistic choice, aiming for a romanticized or nostalgic representation of outback camping.
An image to uplift any 'Mans Cave'.

Rob Meiring is a Perth based photographic artist who works mainly with canvas and acrylics. A seasoned waterman and big wave charger, Rob ranked amongst some of the top Mens ASP competitors during the late 70's.
With a critical eye cast towards his lifelong affection for the ocean, his passion for conceptual photographic works has developed into his current project;

Light. Lens. Art.

Manipulating perspective and the application of light, his works are multidisciplinary and diverse. Using the ritual of gaze and vision to create his images, he combines old and new concepts in creative post editing processes. Each image captures a unique atmosphere, resulting in a deeply personal subjective work that leaves viewers with a lasting impression.
Two years into his current project, an added influence of his surfing days is to create a series of prints in muted tone composites, layered with resin finishes on wood. He looks forward to where this direction will take him.
As he said in discussion, ‘The outcomes are an expression of freedom to transpose the fantasy of the visuals I experience'.
