Amber Sand and Jade Water 2

Description

Coastal Aerial Wall Art from the Gold Coast

Amber Sand and Jade Water 2 is the third release in a limited four-part aerial photography series capturing the raw beauty and surprising symmetry of the Gold Coast shoreline. Building upon the emotion and visual language of the first piece, this image offers a new perspective. One that is softer, moodier, and more abstract in tone.

Taken just minutes after the first photograph in the series, this image reflects a quiet shift in both light and intuition. As the drone hovered above the coastline, the golden light began to mellow, casting longer shadows across the beach. The jade waters deepened in hue, becoming more layered, more mysterious. Rather than chasing a perfect frame, I let the composition unfold naturally, adjusting my position slightly to catch the gentle swirl of a retreating wave and the tonal gradient left behind in the sand.

What emerged was a piece that felt less like a map of the coast and more like a memory of it.

This image captures a moment of stillness, a breath between waves, a space between thoughts. The curve of the shoreline here becomes a visual sigh, with soft amber sands giving way to shifting greens and blues in the shallows. There is a painterly quality to the textures. Abstract yet rooted, calm yet full of subtle energy.

Unlike the dramatic sweep of architecture in Amber Sand and Jade Water 1, this second piece invites the viewer closer to the natural world, stripping back the human element to focus entirely on earth, sea, and movement. It’s less about what’s happening on the coast, and more about what the coast itself feels like when left untouched.

The composition is grounded in contrast: warm and cool, soft and sharp, wide and intimate. But it’s the harmony between those contrasts that gives this artwork its strength. It doesn’t demand your attention, it holds it, quietly.

Printed on premium acrylic or canvas, Amber Sand and Jade Water 2 brings an understated elegance to any space. Whether displayed solo or alongside other pieces in the series, it adds depth, calm, and a distinctly Australian coastal aesthetic to your home, office, or styled interior.

This is more than just photography, it’s an invitation to slow down, look again, and feel your way through the view.

Part of a four-piece series exploring the interplay of light, water, and land from above the Gold Coast.

Bring subtle movement and soft contrast into your space with Amber Sand and Jade Water 2. A quiet moment, captured from above.
