Dean Maguire, Stand tall (BLACK & WHITE 2022)

The south coast of NSW Australia is home to the state’s most spectacular rock formations. Glass house, camel and horse head rock would be by far the most popular among photographers and tourist, and for good reason. After many years of missed opportunities, poor calculations, and lack of ‘ability,’ three images were re born. Capturing image in popular locations can be quite tricky. We risk losing ourselves in the noise and fade out like the other photographs. The key in this instance was to push my style and personality. We have heard about how important composition and light are in an image, yes, this is true, although, in recent years I have come to realise the most important (above all) thing in a photograph is YOU.
