Dean Maguire, RESURGENCE (LANDSCAPE 2023)

A maiden Eurobodalla and Sapphire coast trip sparks an obsession. Upon setting off on a trip to explore Glasshouse rocks (Narooma), Horsehead and Camel rocks (Bermagui) close to 11 years ago, never had the thought crossed my mind I would attempt to capture a photograph that would shape my future career let alone something unique from a location popular amongst tourist and photographers alike. Fast forward to 2021 with many trips later. Armed with the idea to isolate the rock structures and remove all distraction to show their true beauty and detail. Luck would be on my side as Tides, light and weather conditions aligned. Finally, the opportunity to capture and create these minimal photographs that had been living in my mind rent free the entire time. Persistence really paid off.
