Paul Hogan, Hasten Down the Wind X (SEASCAPE 2026)

This work is part of a project on a treasured and favourite section of sandstone cliffs. In March 2025 a deep east coast low in the Tasman sea gave rise to a massive southerly swell and 50 knot winds tearing up and over the 30 metre cliff faces. The epic conditions while technically challenging presented a brilliant opportunity, and for me truly encapsulated the essence of landscape photography.
