My Photo at the Creative Composition Exhibition at Laurent Gallery Melbourne

The recognition: a selection in Melbourne

I am delighted to share that one of my images was selected for digital display at the "Creative Composition" exhibition at Laurent Gallery in Melbourne. The selection was made from photographs submitted by image-makers around the world through a GuruShots challenge. The theme — creative composition — rewards bold frame-building: rhythm, symmetry, unexpected juxtapositions and a deliberate use of space.

The chosen work is a black-and-white conceptual fine-art image — a female figure with large, outstretched feathered wings, standing in the shallow water of a lake, arms raised, with an almost symmetrical reflection on the water's surface. Muted, overcast light, a wall of forest on the horizon and mirror-like symmetry create a dreamlike mood — between waking and myth. For me it's photography as composition: an image in which geometry and reflection become the protagonist.


The venue: Laurent Gallery, Melbourne

Laurent Gallery is an original exhibition space in central Melbourne, designed as a New York warehouse-style conversion — a large, open-plan main gallery overlooked by a U-shaped mezzanine that nests several art studios. The gallery is home to the permanent exhibition of international artist Titane Laurent, and also hosts shows by local and international artists working across all mediums.

It was here that GuruShots presented the "Creative Composition" exhibition.
