Mountains and silhouettes

Mountains and silhouettes. 2025.

Shot on the alpine plateau below Cradle Mountain, this image combines a wide Tasmanian landscape with a subtle self portrait. The snow melt, frozen pond and jagged ridgeline describe the harshness of the place, while the long shadow of the photographer stretches across the foreground like a quiet signature. It is less about the summit itself and more about the feeling of occupying a small patch of ground in a very large space, just for the length of one shutter press.
