News & Adventures

Hiking the Gold Coast hinterland.

This is just a little teaser from the weekends adventures. Let's get one thing straight though, if you're after the location of this little untouched gem I will not be telling you where it is. There aren't many secluded spots like this left on the Gold Coast these days so I'm going to do my best to keep it Gold Coast best kept secret.   I've been wanting to photograph this location for almost two years and I spent countless hours on google earth to find it. Can't wait to head back here and shoot it with better weather conditions.   If you're after pricing on this image for some home decor for your renovations please email me at jon@jonwrightphoto.com and I will be happy to sort out an affordable price for you.

The golden mile - winter swell on the Gold Coast

WOAHHH what an amazing way to finish off the weekend here on the Gold Coast. It was torrential rain all of last night and yesterday and today we woke up to overcast clouds, messy surf….UNTIL this happened.

Snorkeling Point Arkwright - Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia

I haven't been to point Arkwright in over 8 years but I will certainly be heading back again soon. All year round the weather is pretty warm and doesn't ever get uncomfortable which is a plus for swimming and snorkeling. You will get days like Saturday where it was just perfect. 

Gold Coast sunrise Winter - Surfers Paradise

Over the past few months I’ve really been focusing on two types of photography. Portraits with my new brand “Blank Canvas Photography” and ocean art and shore break photography. I’ve always loved shooting landscape and seascapes and during this time they certainly took a little back step in priority.

Lucky Debris – Fine art seascape photography from the Gold coast

As ex tropical cyclone Oswald rolled through Queensland Australia all sorts of things were being washed up on our beautiful sandy beaches. The day after the rain had stopped and the sun was finally shining through to the high-rise buildings on the Gold Coast, tree stumps, logs, plastic bottles and branches all rolled up in different parts of the Gold Coast. This photographic artwork was capture on Rainbow bay beach just in-between Greenmount and snapper rocks (a popular spot for many surf photographers) Though the winds were too strong and windy I was the only one on the beach, I noticed how lucky I was to find the debris (hence the name) and composed a shot just in time for sunrise. Lucky debris is part of a series of mine, there is this shot and the other where the white wash from the waves and ocean have brushed up against the debris. Photographs of the ocean and in particular seascape photography on the Gold Coast can be hard to find a unique angle. Fortunately this is one of a kind and a popular photograph to have stretched on canvas. Gold Coast images gallery and café currently have a this image on a stretched canvas hanging in their art gallery. Our high quality 400gsm fine art canvas offers a fine structure & a premium bright white inkjet coating for amazing reproduction of art and photography. Combine this with genuine ultrachrome inks of professional Epson printers & you have a canvas print with longevity of 100+ years. Each canvas is then sprayed with a liquid laminate, which not only enhances colour but also protects against UV fading, dust, minor scratches & water. Then expertly gallery wrapped over a stretcher bar made from quality Australian pine & finished with a tape seal backing & plastic coated hanging wire.
