Queensland, Australia
I am truly awed when faced with photographing the unpredictable moods of the ocean. To capture this image I had travelled to Orpheus Island in the hope of a dramatic dawn shot. I awoke to a roaring ocean, and made my way by feeble torchlight to the rocky shores of this isolated bay. As the first streaks of colour began to light the sky, I set my tripod and waited for the relentless rhythms of the incoming tide to create the effect I was hoping for. In the very instant the sun rose above the horizon, I instinctively depressed the shutter, and I knew I had got the shot I wanted. As I knelt on the deserted foreshores, sunrise lifted the shroud of darkness before my eyes and I witnessed the true dawning of a new day.

Steven ★★★★★

The way the water seems to come alive in this print from Orpheus Island is what got me—every time I glance at it, I feel the pre-dawn chill. I hung it in my hallway where the light hits it differently through the day, and the mood shifts with it.

Thomas ★★★★★

The blues in this print are so deep they almost pull you in, and the way the dawn light breaks over the Queensland coastline feels genuinely cinematic. It's hung above my desk and I keep catching myself staring at it instead of working.

Edward C. ★★★★★

The way the light hits the water in this print makes me feel like I’m standing right there on Orpheus Island at dawn. I’ve had it up for a week and still catch myself staring at the moody blues and the texture of the waves every time I walk past.
