Reef Life Ed. 2 of 25

A collection exploring the relationship between the elements of Nature and Life "In Australia water is our Poetry and Lore... There are places it appears to no longer exist, but spring to life when flood returns. There are constant reminders that we are at the mercy of this capricious element." from the air the earth almost ceases to be real, instead becoming like a patchwork of patterns, the water carving its path within. The hues and patterns are unexpected, the ocean glows and the waterways take you on a journey of the history of their life.

I am drawn to the natural beauty and complexity of the world around us. Through the lens of my camera, I capture moments of breathtaking wonder and awe, such as the vibrant and delicate ecosystem of the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf (NT). With this aerial image, I invite viewers to contemplate the intricate interplay between land, sea, and sky, and to appreciate the fragile balance of life that exists in this remote and pristine corner of the world.

From that moment photography and art have been a part her life journey and story. Tania is inspired by the Australian outback colours, remoteness and the Australian Impressionist art movement.

Tania has studied fine art and art history and used photograph images to reference for paintings, however Landscape photography took preference in the late 90’s, developing a passion for Aerial Photography. Tania describes an aerial image as an illustration of the landscape in a completely different way, where both photographer viewer are taken on a journey through the history of a landscape that moves between surreal and reality.
