Why Lorne Keeps Me Coming Back
I've been photographing Victoria's coastline for over a decade now, and I reckon I've driven through Lorne more times than I can count. Every single time, it hits different. There's just something about this place that gets under your skin in the best possible way.
Tucked between the Otways and the ocean, Lorne's got this perfect mix of coastal charm and natural beauty that makes it one of Victoria's most loved holiday spots. And honestly? The hype is deserved. Whether you're there for the waves, the food, or just to escape the city for a weekend, Lorne delivers.
The best part about shooting around Lorne is the variety. You've got dramatic coastal cliffs, calm bay waters, lush rainforest backdrops, and that classic Great Ocean Road vibe all rolled into one spot. It's a photographer's playground, and I never leave without something special on my memory card.
The Coastal Magic I Chase with My Camera
When I'm out shooting around Lorne, I'm always looking for those moments that capture what makes this stretch of coast so special. The way the morning light hits the water. The curve of the coastline as it sweeps toward Anglesea. The raw power of the Southern Ocean meeting those ancient cliffs.
I've spent countless mornings watching the sunrise paint the sky over Loutit Bay. I've hiked down to hidden beaches and scrambled over rocks to get the right angle. Every photo I take is shot by me personally, no stock images or borrowed shots. Just me, my camera, and a whole lot of patience waiting for the perfect light.
The surrounding areas are just as incredible. Places like Aireys Inlet with its iconic lighthouse, and the stunning coastal lookouts around Anglesea where you can see for miles along the coast.
From Great Ocean Road to Your Wall
All my prints are made to order and ship free anywhere in Australia. I work with FSC certified timber frames because I reckon if we're celebrating Australia's natural beauty, we should be doing it responsibly.
You can grab my coastal prints in a heap of different styles:
- Unframed prints if you've got your own framing sorted
- Classic framed prints for that timeless look
- Framed canvas prints with great texture and depth
- Shadow box framed prints that really make the image pop
- Premium shadow box with Tru Vue glass for the ultimate quality
Size-wise, I've got you covered from XS (21x29.7cm) right up to EPIC (100x150cm). Yeah, that's 1.5 metres wide. Perfect if you've got a big wall that needs some serious coastal love.
Why Lorne Wall Art Works in Any Space
Here's the thing about coastal photography, it just works everywhere. I've had customers put my prints in living rooms, bedrooms, offices, beach houses, city apartments, you name it. There's something calming about having the ocean on your wall, even when you're landlocked.
The colours of the Great Ocean Road are pretty versatile too. Those blue-green ocean tones, the golden cliffs, the moody grey skies, they all play nicely with different interior styles. Whether your place is modern and minimal or cosy and cluttered, a good coastal print fits right in.
Plus, if you've got memories tied to Lorne; family holidays, surf trips, romantic weekends, having that connection on your wall just hits different. It's like bringing a piece of those good times home with you.
The Great Ocean Road Beyond Lorne
While Lorne's definitely a standout, the whole Great Ocean Road is packed with incredible spots I love shooting. From the famous 12 Apostles down to hidden gems like Childers Cove, there's no shortage of dramatic coastline to capture.
I've also spent plenty of time up at Apollo Bay where the road hugs the hills and the views just keep on giving. Each spot has its own character, its own mood, its own story to tell.
