Bella Swimming at Ruby Falls, 2019
“Ruby Falls sits on top of a waterfall and provides an oasis safe from the croc infested waters below. Bella’s form gives context to scale and the pure peace of this magical place”
RUSSELL JAMES-
The Kimberley Ranges are remote regions of Western Australia and sit at the core of James’ creative inspiration. The magnificent landscapes, the secrets of ancient culture, and the extreme weather that transforms the region each year profoundly influenced James during his teenage years.
Consequently, he has returned time and again to photograph the area throughout his life. The resulting series, Belong, is named in recognition of his own sense of connection to this homeland. His photographs in the series span culture, tradition, and breathtaking landscapes.
In 2020, James collaborated with model Bella Geminder to create images that highlight the natural beauty of this remarkable part of our world.
“The photographs I have taken there are a reminder of our beautiful planet and our fragile human connection to it.”
