Our charismatic photographer pal Luke Shadbolt is having his first solo photography exhibition ‘Maelstrom’ at the Michael Reid Gallery (Sydney) from May 4th (today) till May 28th as part of the Head On Photo Festival.
Shot during the volatile El Nino season of 2016. Maelstrom (sounds like something I bought from Ikea last week LOL) documents the duality of nature; creation and destruction in a single act. An astounding array of environmental factors align in a sudden, fleeting, chaotic event, to produce an oceanic force that is unmatchable in its primal ferocity.
Luke Shadbolt is a specialist in water photography, his debut body of work features a glimpse of the exchange, cycle and balance of power fundamental to the functioning of our planet; Cycles that we as humans so often ignore, or neglect to respect and are barely beginning to understand.
