Sunbaker was taken while he was on holiday at Culburra, on the New South Wales South Coast, in 1937, a year of popular optimism before the War.
This image was inspired by the work of European modernist photographers, who were more interested in exploring abstract form than in making descriptive photographs.
Sunbaker has become a national image. The classical simplicity of the figure replaces the cliches of athletic masculine imagery.
Congratulations Jaydee - this was a beautifully shot image and is a well deserved winner! I am sure we are in for a creative treat with your artist selection. :D
NSW, my home state - yay!!
Nice bod :-) :-)
