Snowy River Headwaters, Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia
On this backcountry trip I was camped out for four days near Australia's highest mainland peak, Mount Kosciuszko. I was seeking to capture the true essence of the Snowy River in winter, the headwaters above the man made influence on the river downstream. With fog obscuring this view in the days prior, on this afternoon I patiently waited as the fog ebbed and flowed before sunset cast a beautiful display of pastel colours across the scene before me. There is something special about being backcountry and totally alone on the slopes of the country's highest peak with a scene like this before you. A true feeling of witnessing the largely unspoiled essence of the Snowy River.
The Snowy River was once a major river in south east Australia before its flows were severely reduced to less than one percent after the construction of dams and diversions in its headwaters as part of the huge Snowy Hydro scheme. However, amongst the higher alpine catchment areas the river's course and surroundings remain relatively unchanged, draining the eastern slopes of the highest peaks in the Snowy Mountains. Capturing mood and emotion are what I regularly seek to do in my images, but it's often a challenge.

CANVAS
Superior grade canvas, printed with archival inks and laminated to protect your print. The texture of the canvas creates a 'painterly' feel to the photograph. Your print comes stretched on a kiln dried Meranti timber frame, ready to hang. A popular, affordable, lightweight and modern way to enjoy Scott’s photographs on your wall. | Learn more |
UNFRAMED PRINT
Exquisite Hahnemühle Photo Rag fine art cotton paper. Museum quality, archival fine art paper and inks. As a print only, this requires framing, allowing you to select your own mounting and framing options. Unframed prints come rolled in a protective tube, making them best for international customers. The print has an additional 6cm white border around the photo, allowing sufficient room to accommodate various framing choices. | Learn more |
FRAMED PRINT
This clean, simple and modern look will suit any home. Your Hahnemühle fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (approx 27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood. It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break) and protects against 99% of UV. Framed prints come ready to hang on your wall. The listed size is for the image itself - the border and frame add approximately 7.5cm to each side of the print (ie 15cm additional length in total).
ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
This frameless, glass like feel is one of the most impressive and striking ways to display your print. Printed on a professional metallic paper, creates a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is face mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection. The crisp, clean image is backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher. This comes ready to hang, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print, so your print can be securely hung on your wall.
