NEW PRINT RELEASE 🖼️
With nothing but open water ahead, this yacht looks right at home out on the Whitsunday seas.
I photographed the scene from a door-off helicopter during Airlie Beach Race Week, where being above the action gave me the chance to capture the yacht almost like a graphic against the vast expanse of ocean.
I love how different sailing looks from this perspective. The sails, hull and wake become simple shapes and lines, while the surrounding water gives the image plenty of space to breathe.
The monochromatic edit gives Open Sail a classic, slightly vintage character.
As a print, Open Sail brings a feeling of freedom, simplicity and open water into your space.
