Behold, Our Land
Photographer: Georgie Mann
Georgie Mann’s work is an homage to the flat, seemingly desolate landscapes of deserts and salt lakes. Georgie, these images are a pastel delight! Can you tell us about them?
I was on a solo road trip up the Birdsville Track on assignment to capture the flooded Channel Country and a filling Lake Eyre further north. The Channel Country north had burst to life as flooded rivers carved their way to Lake Eyre; yet here at Marree, the drought-stricken country remained as parched as ever. I had my drone out one late afternoon when I came across this scene by chance - I knew the long shadows would look magnificent from above. I had a dying battery and limited time to get the shot before the horses trotted off beyond range.
