Seascape nominee

This series presents an aerial perspective of shifting sands at first light, captured in a shallow inlet moments before it merges with the ocean. Beneath the water’s surface, symmetrical forms and intricate textures emerge, sculpted by the converging forces of river current and tidal surge. The work explores the transient geometry created where fresh and salt water meet.

Simon is a self-taught Melbourne based photographer whose passion for the last 30 years has been photographing streetscapes, landscapes and more recently, aerial landscapes, in Australia and many other countries. Simon creates photographic projects that represent major influences in his life. These range from projects that capture his youthhood memories of beachside summer holidays to observations from his time living in New York City.

More recently, it’s been the rawness and beauty of the Australian landscapes that never cease to delight his photographer’s eye, offering an abundance of subjects and locations for seeking new imagery opportunities to capture landscape moments in time.
