As the dry season soaks up all the water, Salar De Uyuni, in Bolivia, reveals tracks of glistening salt crystals on its lakebed. Even in high sun, the salt spreads like an embroidered cloth over the lake bed and the remaining traces of water. While most tourists flock to the lake when it is full to play with the reflections, Salar De Uyuni, the largest salt lake in the Southern Hemisphere, has more hidden beauty in the dry season as the water slips away to reveal the hidden crystal textures.
I grew up on a farm in Australia, where I often witnessed the power of nature, both the good and the bad. I sometimes had mixed feelings that nature could be both beautiful and brutal at the same time, but it always left me in awe. I then came to Melbourne where I worked as a designer but was interested in photography from early on, sometimes using it in my work. When high end digital photography became accessible, my thirst for knowledge and passion grew exponentially and I began to win international awards, becoming obsessed with catching a special moment and bringing it to the world.
