Yarrum - A Murray River Reflection photography exhibition

Looking past the obvious natural beauty of the Murray, these images aim to highlight a unique view of this precious river...another dimension. 

I will reveal a world of colour, beauty, texture, diversity, contrast and mystery and aim to provide you with a moment...just to be...be with Murray’s spirit.

From the source in the mountains near Mt Kosciusko, NSW/Victoria to the Murray Mouth in South Australia, I have spent years photographing the river's soul and its ever changing face. This has allowed me to see the threaded borderless connection across Australia and a changing river with stunning diversity, contrast and unique beauty.

You will experience the colours of an artist’s palette. Deep blues, earthy ochres and the golden yellows. Pure white like sprinkled diamonds and rich, powerful blacks like a moonless night. At the perfect time it reflects the wide and vast blue skies that are suspended above while it carves through our harsh and precious semi-arid Australian landscape.

I love our Murray and this journey will deepen your connection to the water and land. Rarely found anywhere in the world, the long, slow waters give us a precious and rare gift to appreciate, value and respect. Enjoy. Thanks, Shane Strudwick.
