Liquid Light #52
Sometimes I dream a picture and then work out the technicalities of making it. I don’t always match the vision, and I can be happily surprised by what happens when I let light bounce around in my camera. This is the magic that can happen when photography and creativity mix.
The sandstone outcrops that form the island, dividing the sandy bay at Balmoral Beach in Sydney, Australia, are familiar to my cameras. My dream, however, required a more intimate conversation with this well-trod place.
So, in the dawn light, I suspended my camera by its strap as I walked carefully across the rock shelf, dodging the deeper holes and slippery seaweed.
The camera floated just above the small waves washing around my feet as the slow shutter speed and morning glow combined to 'melt' water, stone and seagrasses into a series of flowing, surreal sculptures.
Later, in my digital darkroom, I worked with the raw pixels recreating my original dream's colour, light and mood.
The Liquidity of Light.
These Small Edition Prints are made on museum-quality Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. It beautifully replicates the light and moods of my original visualisation. I make photographs to be hung on walls and appreciated for decades so the white paper and soft texture of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag are both integral to how I want you to see and ‘feel’ my work.

Room mock-up views are for guidance only. Where finished sizing is critical, the indicated paper sizes are recommended to be measured in the room where the art will hang. Extra allowance should be made for matting and framing. A blank sheet of paper temporarily placed where the art will hang, representing the finished size helps visualise if your preferred size suits the space.
Don't hesitate to get in touch with Paul for accurate print and finished frame sizes of the photograph you select.
