The Story Behind the Photograph

On 31 March 2018, I took to the skies above Shark Bay in Western Australia for an aerial photography adventure, eager to capture the extraordinary colours and landscapes of this beautiful coastline.

One of the first places we flew over was Little Lagoon, a picturesque natural lagoon just outside Denham, renowned for its brilliant turquoise waters surrounded by the rich red earth of the region.

Little Lagoon has been photographed countless times, and it's easy to understand why. The contrast between the vivid blue water, pale sandy shoreline and warm rust-coloured landscape is simply beautiful.

Although it wasn't an unfamiliar or undiscovered location, I was excited to see it from above and capture my own interpretation of this iconic Shark Bay landscape.

What appealed to me most was the simplicity of the scene. The almost circular shape of the lagoon, the delicate ribbon of pale sand and the beautiful contrast of colours created a naturally striking composition.

Little Lagoon is a celebration of the extraordinary colours found along Western Australia's coastline and a reminder that even the most familiar landscapes can be appreciated from a different perspective.
