How a Sydney Rock Pool Ended Up in YellowKorner

YellowKorner is a French photography publisher, founded in 2006 by Alexandre de Metz and Paul-Antoine Briat. It sells limited, numbered editions through its own galleries around the world. Only about a hundred photographers make its list. Sixteen of my Sydney photographs are among its editions.

It always makes me smile to think this French fine art dealer has a picture of your local rock pool hanging on a wall. That's where the Australian landscape deserves to be.

How the gallery tells it

YellowKorner's artist page describes me as one of Australia's leading landscape photographers, and as the acrobat of seaside landscapes. It tells the story from the start: I began at sixteen, taught myself, and developed black and white prints in a darkroom in my parents' basement.

Most mornings I'm still out before dawn to catch the city in a different light.

Where the editions sell

YellowKorner sells my work in Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Athens, Dubai, New Delhi, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Mexico City and Santiago. The sixteen editions are Patterns, Crystal, New Perspectives, From Above, Bathers, Relax, Cloud Surfers, Beach Boats, Pathways, Paradise, Pure Joy, Into the Light, Summer Colours, Wash, Summer Days and Swimmers.
