One year ago, fire moved through this Australian woodland and changed everything.

Today the blackened trees are still standing, but something else is happening too — the bush is slowly coming back to life.

In this vlog I head out with my Mamiya 645 loaded with Fujifilm Acros 100 to document the aftermath of fire and the quiet return of life in the Australian bush.

Black and white film felt like the perfect way to capture the contrast between burnt trees, bright light, and new growth pushing through the ash.

Sometimes the most powerful landscapes aren’t untouched — they’re the ones that have survived something.
