Yosemite Valley 2007
inkjet print
33.0 x 82.5 cm (image)
Melbourne Grammar School, Melbourne
I wanted to capture the magnificent beauty of winter in the Yosemite Valley in a more contemporary way than that of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. I undertook a lot of research before arriving, and used a panorama format, digitally combining four images. I wanted to transport the audience to the Valley, to enable them to appreciate the awe-inspiring landscape, and to communicate how precious and fragile the planet is. The photograph's sense of depth, perspective and sharpness was achieved by using a large aperture number and slow shutter speed.
