Hindsight is a photographic meditation on time, isolation, and the quiet revelations found in stillness. Captured during the 2020 lockdown at Lake Eildon, these analogue images reflect a moment suspended – when the world paused, and nature carried on in its quiet rhythm.

In the absence of noise, movement, and certainty, the lens turned inward as much as outward. Lake Eildon became a mirror, its waters and landscapes offering a space for reflection, solitude, and unexpected clarity.

These photographs do not document the chaos of the pandemic, but rather its echo – what was seen, felt, and understood in the stillness it imposed. Hindsight is not just about looking back; it’s about seeing more clearly what was always there.

Hindsight is 2020.
