Katoomba - Breath of the Mountains

This photographic series captures a cold, fog-laden morning on the main street of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, NSW. Shot in wet winter conditions before dawn, the images explore cinematic light, dense mist, and rain-soaked roads as streetlights glow and reflect across the empty street. The fog softens the landscape, creating layers of atmosphere and stillness that transform the familiar town into a quiet, suspended moment in time.

Through reflections, diffused light, and subdued colour, the series evokes the mood of early morning in the Blue Mountains—cold, silent, and contemplative. These photographs document Katoomba not as a tourist destination, but as a living place shaped by weather, light, and season, revealing the quiet beauty found in fog, rain, and the passing hours before the town awakens.
