Natalie Hampel, Diamond in the Rough (Aerial 2018)

These images should not have happened. We were due to leave Broome the day before these shots were taken but we both fell in love with Broome so much so that we delayed our flight home! With less than 24 hrs notice we were able to organise this helicopter flight up the coast the morning we flew out of Broome. Our pilot Hilary, was accommodating, knowledgeable and amazing to work with. Thank you. The Kimberley coastline is vast and the colours change dramatically as you travel north. I wanted to show the contrast of colours of the same coastline. This series is designed to be viewed with the first 2 images on top and the last 2 images directly below to capture the idea I wish to portray.
