Braeden Tairi, Mountain Ashes (Landscape 2019)
I live and do a majority of my photography in the Murrindindi and Yarra Ranges, a place that was home to one of the worst natural disasters in Australian history, The Black Saturday Bushfires of 2009. It is a place of stark beauty and stark contrast. A place of life, death and resurrection.
