Shaan Herbert, In the Australian woods (Landscape 2021)

This series is an exploration of what I perceive be an expression of the true Australian Landscape. Elements of harshness, contrasts in light and texture and elements of beauty and foreboding. Much to explain in an entry description I enjoy using over sharpening along with adding haze, clipping highlights and changing the colour palate, all to further express the true value of the Australian Landscape. It is an attempt to find a unique way of expressing a unique continent without reverting to American or European composition or processing techniques. It is still very much a work in progress and quite possibly a lifetime project. Please enjoy.
