The old-growth eucalyptus in South Australia’s northern pastoral country reach a scale that most Australians have never seen. These are trees that have been growing for centuries in a landscape that is simultaneously ancient and sparse – the mallee scrub, the rocky outcrops, the vast flat distance. The tree in this image – photographed in black and white to emphasise its form against the sky – is one of those old survivors, its bark peeling in long strips, its canopy spreading wide above the surrounding country.

Eucalyptus Emperor – South Australia is a black and white portrait-format fine art print of an ancient eucalyptus tree in the Australian outback of South Australia. The monochrome rendering reduces the image to its essential element: the extraordinary form of the tree itself, the scale of its canopy, the texture of its bark. The 3:2 portrait format gives the tree room to fill the frame from trunk to canopy.
