The inspiration that has come from my photography is seen through the lens of Sean Scott, Annemarie DuPreez and Loysh. All of these artists are profound influences on me and my work.
Sean Scott is a landscape, surf and wildlife photographer. He specialises in the nature and landscapes of Australia, featuring modern devices such as drones and amphibious cameras in his work. Sean Scott is a highly accredited photographer, who has an ongoing career and has opened several galleries on the Gold Coast. In an interview with photography talk, Sean expressed that his inspiration comes from his family and friends and that he could share what they couldn't see with them. Sean Scott travels around Australia and captures the surreal moments created by Australian nature. This inspires me to further explore the Australian landscape and locations on the Gold Coast. His work inspires my photography through his creative compositions that are filled with life and curiosity. His sharp, crisp and clean edits are something that I admire and aspire to achieve within my compositions.
The image below of the dramatic waterfall shows a technique of long exposure that creates an almost blurred and flowing image of the water. The descending water from the top of the waterfall creates a strong use of leading lines toward the subject. The use of warm dark hues from the rocks creates an effective use of contrast between the bright whites of the waterfall.

Annemarie DuPreez and Loysh are both landscape and portrait photographers who express themselves through their creativity and stylistic approaches. Annemarie DuPreez has built up a collection of nature reserved compositions over her career whose passion lies in her photography. Annemarie’s consistent landscape photos show a range of creativity and interest to her viewers. This is shown through her interesting subject choices and unique angles and perspectives, along with the use of long exposure and drone photography. From her works, Annemarie inspires me to continue to experiment with my photography and camera settings as each setting can create a completely different picture. Loysh is a photographer who specialises mainly in event, portrait and family photography. Loysh even has her own business where she does shoots with beginner photographers where they can learn the basics of photography. Loysh inspires my portrait photography through the way she positions and compositionally arranges her subjects and through her vibrant, bright edits.
Annemarie’s compositions below show high-quality images of landscape photography. The compositions create a sense of leading lines with the flowing and direct movements of the road and waterfall. The high contrast of clarity and saturation is highlighted throughout her pieces. The lens’ and filters that she uses to create these masterpieces really enhance her photos and brings life to her images.
