Brisbane City Fog

Brisbane City Fog

by Jon Wright in News & Adventures

WOAHHH what an incredible morning with some of the strangest conditions this winter has brought us. Fog covered Brisbane for hours this morning. These shots were taken in between 8:30AM and 10:30AM with loads of fog cover over the beautiful Brisbane City.

Some strange conditions for this time of year but I’m thinking it’s because of the warmer weather coming this week.

Photographs have been taken from Kangaroo point cliffs and also near the Story Bridge. When capturing these photos I emphasized the black and white and shot them all on black and white settings to help visualise the end result.

So, who thinks tomorrow will bring similar conditions?

Riverfire 2025

Riverfire 2025

Brisbane’s Riverfire Festival always knows how to light up the sky - and this year, I decided to capture it like never before. I’ve photographed Brisbane’s skyline countless times, but this was my first real attempt at Riverfire photos 2025 - and it turned into something completely different from what I expected. A Last-Minute Decision It wasn’t planned. One minute I was at home, the next I was weaving through the crowds, camera gear in hand, hoping to find a good spot before the first firework exploded over the Brisbane River. Turns out, I got lucky. A familiar location gave me the perfect view, and this time, with the sky set ablaze, Brisbane felt like a whole new city. The Roar & the Power of Heavy-Lift Aircraft Before the first sparkle of Riverfire 2025, the skies rumbled with anticipation. The C-17A Globemaster III made a dramatic low flyby - that transport giant cutting a silhouette against the fading daylight. Alongside it, the EA-18G Growler jets tore across the sky, each with a different character of sound, size, and speed. That moment, capturing metal, motion, and power against a backdrop of twilight, felt as epic as any firework. It grounded the abstract, reminding me that Riverfire isn’t just about light, it’s about scale, tension, and the beauty of contrast.   From Fireworks to Cosmic Art When editing these Riverfire photos 2025, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was looking at something bigger than fireworks. The bursts of colour reminded me of deep-space nebulae and celestial storms, abstract, chaotic, beautiful. So, instead of the classic “skyline with fireworks” postcard style, I leaned into the abstract photography approach. The result? Images that feel part celebration, part cosmic explosion, Brisbane’s night sky reimagined.     Brisbane Artwork & Prints from Riverfire 2025 These photographs aren’t just snapshots of a festival, they’re artwork. Each image captures the energy of Riverfire 2025 in a way that makes it perfect for Brisbane wall art and prints.   Whether it’s a pop of colour in a home or a bold statement piece in a commercial space, these prints bring the Riverfire magic indoors long after the last firework fades.   See the Full Collection If you want to experience Riverfire 2025 in a whole new way—or bring a piece of Brisbane’s biggest night into your home, you can check out the full range of Riverfire Festival photos and Brisbane prints, CLICK HERE.

Brisbane Photography Wall Art – Easter Morning Magic

Brisbane Photography Wall Art – Easter Morning Magic

Over the recent Easter break, I had the chance to update my collection of Brisbane landscape photos, and let me tell you – the conditions were as close to perfect as you can get. Two mornings back-to-back, I set up along Kangaroo Point, overlooking the ever-evolving city skyline and the brand-new Kangaroo Point Bridge – Brisbane’s latest architectural statement. What makes this spot truly special is not just the view (which, let’s be honest, is a stunner), but the way the early morning light dances across the Brisbane River and city buildings before the sun peeks over the horizon. That moment – when the city is caught between shadow and soft light – is where the magic happens.     Why Arrive an Hour Before Sunrise? I always recommend arriving a solid hour before sunrise. This is when the real drama unfolds – the sky starts to shift colours, the city lights are still glowing, and there’s a beautiful balance between the cool tones of night and the warming hues of the upcoming day. It's this balance that gives my Brisbane canvas art its distinct mood and depth. This also gives me time to explore different compositions – moving around, switching lenses, and looking for unique elements like reflections, birds in flight, or foreground details that add that extra something. Sure, you could rock up just before the sun cracks the horizon, but if you're chasing that premium light for photography wall art, you’ve already missed half the show.   Kangaroo Point’s Star: The New Bridge The new Kangaroo Point Bridge is now a feature piece in many of my updated Brisbane canvas prints. Its bold design gives the city skyline a fresh dynamic, offering new lines and shapes for creative compositions. It’s not just a bridge – it’s a photographic playground. Framing the bridge with the city in the background during those pre-dawn moments added a new dimension to my Brisbane collection.   New Wall Art Prints Available Now These latest captures have been carefully edited and are now available as Brisbane photography wall art prints, ready to hang in your home, office, or creative space. Whether you’re after a canvas art piece to bring warmth into a room or a sleek framed print for a more modern look – there’s something in this new series that showcases Brisbane in a whole new light (literally). You can check out the full collection here.

The Emotional Connection to Art: Why We Choose the Prints We Love

The Emotional Connection to Art: Why We Choose the Prints We Love

Wow, it’s been a while since my last blog post! This year, I’m making a conscious effort to bring you more insight into my creative process, along with behind-the-scenes stories of the effort and dedication that go into capturing my artwork. To be honest, I feel incredibly fortunate that so many people connect emotionally with my photography. Recently, I was chatting with another photographer about what makes art sell and why certain pieces resonate with people. I shared how many of my prints find new homes not just because of their visual appeal but because they evoke personal memories and emotions. For some, a particular image reminds them of childhood days spent swimming with their father—who may no longer be with them. Others are drawn to a print because it captures the essence of their favourite holiday spot or because the abstract interplay of colours and lines speaks to them on a deeper level. This is what makes my work so fulfilling. I absolutely love capturing stunning coastal landscapes, mesmerising waves, and the raw beauty of nature—especially in the ocean. Bringing my camera along and creating something that truly speaks to me is a deeply personal process. And when someone chooses to purchase a print—whether an individual or a large company—it’s one of the most rewarding feelings as an artist. With that in mind, I’m excited to share a selection of my latest photographs, now available for purchase:
