The first, bracing contact with the ocean at dawn can lift you on your toes and have your hands reach out and higher as the mini shock of cold water awakens your senses.

After diving under and through the sea, bracing becomes freshness and renewal.

Another day has begun.

I use long exposures to compress adjacent moments into a single frame. Hand-holding the camera during this extended period adds my movement and emotion.

Sunrise Swim, Dixon Park Beach, Newcastle, Australia.

#5502 - April 22, 2024

The prints are available in four sizes, with five copies each, for only twenty prints. Unique moments like these deserve minimal editions. They are printed in a 2 - 1 panorama format.

The small image is 300x150mm, the medium image is 600x200mm, the large image is 900x450mm, and the extra large image is 1200x600mm. Each print has an additional 20mm white border.

We offer Australian-made, handcrafted gallery-style frames made from FSC-certified Tasmanian Oak, available in black, white, or timber finish, with museum-grade plexiglass. I suggest a black or white frame for this series. More details and accurate finished sizes can be found here:

Purchase includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity and free Australia-wide shipping.

Every print I sell has a money-back guarantee if the buyer is not completely happy with their purchase.

You can buy an unframed print for your preferred framer or let me organise the framing.

Framed prints are for Australian delivery only.

Any room mock-up views are shown for guidance, and we recommend contacting Paul for accurate sizing information.
