"When I set off to explore Australia's Sunshine Coast I did not expect to be faced with such contrasting weather," says Burgess. "I was watching the weather forecast closely the days before and knew the swell would be considerable. I made the decision to shoot that morning, even though the conditions were extremely unfavourable. The rain and wind, paired with the light shining down on the spray, created a sense of depth. I like that this dramatic scene stands in stark contrast to the name ‘Sunshine Coast’."
