BlueSphere Book by Shell Bankier – photographer. This collection of original photographs captures the rarest seconds of the energy that moves oceans to create the perfect wave, when all elements in the frame are in perfect balance.
Speaking of moments in time, the photography in ‘BlueSphere’ is a compilation of breathtaking images from photographer Shell Bankier’s first body of work and features some of the best wave spots around the world – Australia, including the iconic breaks that the Gold Coast offers, Hawaii, Tahiti and more, all shown at their best, when the elements are in perfect unison – those magic moments frozen in time.
Shell has dedicated countless hours to watching the many moods of the sea with her film and digital cameras and the result is this comprehensive art photographic book, celebrating the feel and the beauty of the ocean, and the importance of ocean conservation. Threaded with art elements and prose writing, this book is a journal of the first 10 years of Shell’s work, and is a treasure of an oceanic journey as seen through the camera eye.
The feel of the ocean has soaked this book with salt and it will inspire those who see it to witness the ocean in a new way.
Shell began surfing at age 13, but when a car accident left her with severe spinal injuries at the age of 16, doctors told her there was no hope she would walk or surf again. Determined to get back in the water, Shell defied the odds and slowly but surely regained her life.
This monumental challenge created a path for Shell, one of pursuing her passion, continuing her love affair with the ocean, and sharing this joy with those who see her work, finding singular moments in the waves or on the shore. Shell was the first woman this century to have her work published in ASL (Australia’s Surfing Life) magazine and has had numerous exhibitions. Her new body of work in her art print collections has evolved into more abstract renditions of water and sky, but this book holds her original vision of the beauty of the endless waves.
