Mark Gray
Awaken (Single)
DESCRIPTION
It was a warm Autumn morning in March 2015 and I had just returned from a week in Tasmania running one of our 5 day photography workshops.
I awoke early and made my way down to one of my favourite beaches near my home for a sunrise shoot. I had predicted a beautiful sunrise the night before but to be honest didn't realise just how special it would be.
Standing barefoot on the edge of this ledge, it began to rain lightly as waves rolled around my knees - I felt completely at home.
After spending some time watching the waves break over the shelf in front of me, I waited for the sunrise to peak and released the shutter, timing the water movement perfectly.
What a blessing it was to experience this brief but incredible moment.
AUTHOR
I'm a passionate landscape photographer with a love for the outdoors and sharing the magnificence of God's creation through my photography.
I've been a professional for over 20 years and with my amazing team, operate a retail gallery in Victoria, Australia. I specialise in traditional landscapes but also enjoy aerial photography from helicopters, planes and drones.
I've never been interested in how a camera works; for me it's just a tool that allows me to capture special moments in time and share them with the world. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that my work is a testament to the truth and power of God and his incredible creation.
Through the ongoing support of my print collectors and workshop participants, I am grateful to travel extensively year round and enjoy capturing new and original work.
