Bronze Award — Highly Commended, 2025 Australian Photographic Prize
I was packing up my gear, ready to call it a day after a photoshoot. The light had faded, and I’d started walking away—until something made me turn around. Suddenly, the sky exploded in colour. That unexpected glow lit up the horizon, casting rich pinks, purples, and oranges across the still water.
I rushed to set the camera back up, heart racing slightly with the excitement of a second chance. The lone tree standing in the water became the perfect subject, its reflection stretching out like ink on glass. A handful of stars had already started appearing above, quietly watching as the last light of day gave way to night.
Purple Dusk is a reminder that nature doesn’t always run on our schedule. Sometimes the best moments arrive just after we think it’s all over.
This work is offered as a strictly limited edition of 100 prints across all available sizes, reinforcing its rarity and long-term value.
Printed on museum-grade archival paper, each piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
