ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Hope the Belmont Jetty located on the shores of Lake Macquarie NSW Australia. This image was taken just after being in quarantine for my first time due to Covid, it was a difficult time in my life as well it was for many other's. It was nice to be able to get back out in nature and enjoy life again, there was a sense of hope. The jetty was able to give me that sense of direction to continue with hope of a better future.

AUTHOR
Steven Algie is an international recognised fine art black and white photographer residing in Maitland NSW Australia.

His work has a primary focus on landscape and long-exposure minimalism, where it is noted for it's simple elements, leading lines and negative space.

Steve has a goal to create imagery based on a created vision and depicting a world that does not exist while using black and white as a medium.

Through his approach, it is first and foremost based on how he chooses to portray subjects in an otherworldly, ethereal and symbolic manner. Through this he has embraced modern photographic processing and he has embraced art!

I believe this is a true reflection of one's soul and an extension of one's voice and in photograph there are multiple ways to create an image based on this value.
