I photographed “Over the Water to a Wild Land” during an expedition to Tasmania. Moving through the pristine landscape was like being suspended in time. The incredible beauty and unforgiving harshness of the environment uncovered a place of serenity and melancholy. This collection reflects the stillness I felt while taking the pictures. I found the instantaneous nature of these images create a natural narrative that is undiluted by staging or preparation. I wanted to create pictures that captured the intimacy of exploring a wild land that could only be accessed by foot.
