Celebrating the Majesty of Australian Trees: Simon Bayliss Photography

Trees, Timbers & Textures

Putting together these galleries has been an excellent reflection on where I have been photographically and what elements of the landscape I am drawn to. Whether in a dimly lit forest or the harshly illuminated outback, trees, alive or dead, exude a photographic character.

I have always been fascinated by trees, but much is now apparent after reviewing a decade-plus of images. They are beautiful elements of nature to photograph. They tell a story of drought, floods, resources for humans, fires, and their contribution to nature.

It is a beautiful opportunity for me, a professional photographer, to visit, experience, and photograph parts of Australia, then produce Australian photography prints focusing on our trees and timbers and highlighting the textures of each.
