In 2018, I found myself in Geeveston, Tasmania, a place where natural beauty intertwines seamlessly with history and small-town charm. Nestled in the Huon Valley, this quiet town served as a gateway to some of Tasmania’s most breathtaking wilderness areas—but for me, it was an opportunity to document a scene that felt both timeless and deeply personal.
The image that inspired this post captures the serenity of the Tasmanian landscape: still waters reflecting moody skies, a rocky shoreline framing the composition, and the distant hills that add layers of depth to the scene. The contrast between the cool hues of the sky and the earthy textures of the foreground evokes the feeling of standing there, immersed in the silence, with only the occasional rustle of leaves or distant call of birds breaking the stillness.
Photography, at its core, is about preservation—of light, of emotion, of fleeting moments. This image represents more than a scene; it’s a reminder of why I pursue this craft. The way the reflections soften the composition, how the sky acts as a dramatic backdrop to the resting boats, and how Geeveston itself carries an air of tranquility—all of it contributes to the kind of storytelling I strive for in my work.
This post marks the beginning of my blog and my journey into sharing the stories behind my images. Photography is not just about what we see—it’s about how we feel when we look at an image, how it transports us back to the exact moment it was captured. This scene in Geeveston remains one of those moments for me, and I look forward to sharing more of them with you.
