Ferns & Falls
Captured in the lush Otways along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, this photograph celebrates a quieter, often-overlooked moment at Hopetoun Falls.
I was drawn to the way the fallen log mirrors the sweeping curve of the tree ferns below, while the cascading water and rainforest seem to move together in perfect harmony. Rather than photographing the entire waterfall, I wanted to capture the rhythm, texture and intimacy hidden within it.
It was one of those rare moments when I knew I'd created something special the instant I pressed the shutter.
Photographed at Hopetoun Falls, Great Otway National Park
(Eastern Maar Country), Victoria, Australia.

Printing
Each photograph is printed to order on professional Luster 260gsm photographic paper. Its soft, pearl-like sheen gives rich colour and depth without the harsh glare of a high-gloss finish.
Framing
Each print is custom framed to order and handmade in Australia, arriving ready to hang. The frame is a slim 20mm x 30mm profile, with a clean, gallery-style look that keeps the attention on the photograph. Choose from four finishes:
- Australian Oak: natural, raw oak timber with visible grain
- Black: a smooth satin black
- Walnut: a rich, warm dark timber
- White: a classic, crisp white
Glazing
Frames are glazed with UV acrylic. It is as clear as glass but lighter and much safer to ship, and it helps protect the print from fading.
Matt border
Each print is set within a 50mm archival matt border that is acid- and lignin-free, giving it room to breathe and a timeless gallery finish. Behind the print is a 5mm acid-free, pH-neutral foam backing board that keeps it flat and protected for years to come.
Size
The 50mm matt border is added around the print size, so the image is shown in full.
Approximate overall sizes (including matt and frame):
- A3 print: 42 x 54cm
- A2 print: 54 x 72cm
- A1 print: 72 x 97cm
