Michael Tomkinson, Moon Walk (CREATIVE 2020)

I captured this image of local character and surfer, Wano Liao at The Alley on the Gold Coast earlier this year. The sky that morning was completely clear and cloud free which meant the background contained no visual interest. My initial intention was to only add the moon, but then one thing led to another and all of a sudden I descended down a rabbit hole of image manipulation by added clouds, a flock of birds and the pink hue that dominates the images overall colour.
