Artwork Description

Parkdale Beach is located between Mordialloc and Mentone Beaches. This jetty or pier as it is often referred to is actually a groyne. A groyne is a timber structure built out into the sea from a beach to check erosion and drifting. I had walked out onto this wooden structure carefully setting up my camera on a cross section beam to gain a central position, and carefully commenced a very long 13 minute exposure. Sitting alongside my camera I remained very still for the duration of the long exposure to avoid vibrations being transferred onto the shot. After the time had passed I looked at the captured image on the back of the camera and knew that I had just created something really special.

Artist Bio

Nick Psomiadis was born in 1968 in Melbourne, Australia to Greek parents who migrated to the country in the mid-sixties. He received his education from a Technical School, renowned for its comprehensive curriculum integrating both academic and practical skills. This solid foundation paved the way for his successful career in jewelry making, which spanned nearly two decades starting in 1986. Additionally, he indulged in his love for photography, which he pursued as a hobby and pastime.

In 2011, Nick made a life-changing decision to follow his passion for photography, leaving behind a fulfilling profession. He furthered his education, completing a course of studies that encompassed both theory and practical training, and was conferred with a "Diploma of Photography." However, he quickly realized that turning his passion into a profession would require immense effort and dedication.

Establishing a home studio, Nick laid the foundation for his art, which he created and exhibited for a decade. In the winter of 2021, he achieved a significant milestone by purchasing a studio and gallery space in Melbourne, departing from his modest home studio. Nick currently produces photographic fine art, prints, and displays his works under the name N I K A R T Studio & Gallery, 7/20 Ponting Street Williamstown, Vic 3016.

Nick draws inspiration from both the natural landscape and the built environment, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to capture an ephemeral moment in time.
