Salt X | Edition of 19 | 60x80cm | Wheatbelt, Western Australia
A salt lake in the Western Australian Wheatbelt — the water turned crimson and rose by halophilic algae responding to extreme salinity. From altitude, the lake reads as pure colour. Nineteen prints exist of this image.

"The quality of the images was greater than I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call myself a collector of his work."
Matthew D. ·
The salt lakes of the Western Australian Wheatbelt are among the most visually extraordinary landscapes on earth — and almost nobody has seen them from above. Ancient lake beds left behind by retreating seas millions of years ago, they sit in the flat inland country east of Perth, turning vivid shades of pink, crimson and terracotta as the water evaporates and the salt concentration rises. The colour is produced by halophilic microorganisms — algae and bacteria that thrive in conditions nothing else can survive. It is not filtered. It is not enhanced. This is what the water actually looks like.
From altitude, the lake loses all sense of scale and becomes something closer to painting than photography — a field of colour with no horizon, no reference point, nothing to anchor it to the familiar world. Salt X is that image: nineteen prints of a moment in a place most people will never reach, on paper built to last generations.
