Dawn Serenity, NSW

ARTIST STATEMENT

The day was beginning to stir, a mere hint of dawn in the sky, as I wrestled myself from the comfort of my bed. My journey led me to Merreweather, a place that offered tranquillity and solitude, the ideal setting for pursuing the perfect photograph. There's an enchanting quality to the early morning when the world is still ensconced in slumber and nature begins to rouse. While the locals indulged in their ritualistic morning swim in the icy waters, my attention was captivated elsewhere: the sunrise.

Sunrises hold a distinct charm, their delicate pastel hues gradually adorning the sky like an artist's masterpiece. The muted elegance of these colours has always held a special place in my heart; they might lack the drama of a sunset, but their breathtaking beauty is undeniable. Today, I aimed to encapsulate this serene spectacle through my lens, preferably just after the break of dawn.

I sought simplicity in my composition, emphasising individual elements and utilising long exposure to allow them to take centre stage. Nature was my canvas, and I was simply a chronicler of its grandeur. My moment arrived as the first golden rays of sunlight graced the horizon. The panorama before me was simple and spectacular, a harmonious interplay of light and shadow unfolding across the boundless sea.

As I packed away my equipment, I reflected on the day's experience. My pursuit of simplicity had unravelled profound insights. Each image I'd captured bore witness to the allure of clarity, the ability to find serenity in the commonplace. I realised photography is more than just freezing a moment in time; it's about uncovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. And sometimes, all it takes is the courage to leave the comfort of your bed.
