The Fall 2017–2018 by David Rosendale

A recent semi-finalist in the Moran Contemporary Photography Prize, Melbourne-based photographer, David Rosendale, presents The Fall, an extensive 12 month photographic study of seasonal change and environment in the Alpine region of Falls Creek, in Victoria. The year-long project follows his 2016 exhibition of the same title and seeks to document the landscape’s four seasons. In February 2017, David Rosendale was granted Artist in Residency at the Alpine Resort of Falls Creek in Victoria, embarking on a project that would document all four seasons and imbue the photographer’s role as observer throughout a year-long cycle of change.

Rosendale's work seeks graphical and compositional harmony within the landscape, his artworks act as witness to the evidences human activity leaves upon it.  He constantly travels and explores the lesser taken roads to find the next window on the world. Once a feel for a location is established, through careful planning and intuition, he ensures he is present at precisely the right moment, to allow the environment to reveal something unique to him and to the resultant image.
