Bathurst Island

Sunset over the red rock, white sand, and blue water at Bathurst Island, Tiwi Islands, Northern Territory, Australia. The Tiwi Islands are part of the Northern Territory of Australia, 80 km to the north of Darwin where the Arafura Sea joins the Timor Sea. They are inhabited by the Tiwi people, as they have been since before European settlement in Australia. The Tiwi are an Indigenous Australian people, culturally and linguistically distinct from those of Arnhem Land on the mainland just across the water.

This shot was taken later in the day during sunset from the remote beach camp where I took the shot that I was fortunate enough to have published as a double page spread in National Geographic Traveler. It appeared in both the Spanish and Portugaise language versions of the magazine. As a photographer being published in a magazine with the iconic yellow borders around it is something quite special.

If you would like to learn a little bit more about my background in photography you can read the interview @photofeed did with me here.
