This was a small derelict house on the edge of the Rees River, flowing through from the Routeburn track to Lake Wakatipu on the northern end. I don’t think Ive ever seen a more beautiful setting. The property itself was complete ruined internally but from the outside, it reminded me of mountain life 100 years ago. I don’t know how long the paint on the roof had been there, but it was peeling and old, but its colour was just perfect to give the image some vibrancy.

Look for a distinguishing feature from your image. A single block of colour, the play of light and shadow in opposing directions, the eye of your subject. These all create a subconscious drawcard for your audience to not just want to look but have to look at your image. Don’t believe me? Try it with any image that you know has a string distinguishing feature and see how many wows you get when you show people.
