The Solitary Islands Aquarium sits a few hundred metres inland from Charlesworth Bay, near Coffs Harbour. Small by any standards, the aquarium run by Southern Cross University is a place I’ve been to many times, but never ceases to inspire. Shooting here is never the main intention but is very easy to do, with a wide array of subjects to photograph in a small space.
I’m still finding colour very hard to work with. It’s not a natural process for me at all - every process I do from start to finish is with a black and white photo in mind. Persevering with colour for a month is a good problem to have - I’m testing my boundaries, what I like, what I want to do with my work, how I will continue in the future.
