Innamincka, Australia
My homeland. The solitude and silence of the outback. A lone Adansonia tree. The intensity of this scene was an affirmation of the power and beauty of Mother Nature. I have spent weeks at a time exploring this vast country without seeing a single person. It’s the remoteness that I love. It really brings you back to nature. As most people fear this type of isolation, it is the driving force behind my passion. I’m chasing the moments that most others will never see. While I was shooting the horizon, changing an otherwise simplistic scene into a work of art, my viewfinder framed the clouds beginning to emerge. The pattern of the sky began to shift, as if they were a series of random brush strokes. As each moment passed, the storm was gathering momentum. Then, in the blink of an eye, the storm erupted after the buildup of a long, dry summer. The clouds created a painterly sky. As I smelled the scent of the rainy, desert air, I pressed my shutter. It is a moment that will stay with me for a lifetime.

Lucy ★★★★★

Standing in my living room, I can almost feel that outback silence washing over me. The way the lone tree sits against that vast, empty sky is breathtaking — it’s like having a piece of Innamincka right on my wall.

Jason ★★★★★

The print captures that lone tree against the vast, empty horizon so perfectly it feels like I’m standing in the silence myself. It’s the kind of artwork that makes you stop and just breathe, and the solitude in the scene is almost tangible.

Elizabeth K. ★★★★☆

Hung this above my desk and the outback silence really does come through in the print. Colors are slightly warmer than they looked on my screen, but the lone Adansonia against all that open space still stops me every time I glance up.
