On any given day of this summer, you may spot a mysterious flash of smile and colour that is Joel Wynn Rees. Joel jives to rhythms that many people might mistake for birds singing or waves crashing. With a backpack full of heart and a heart full of gold, Joel likes to climb that extra rung and go that extra mile all the while humming to himself “carpe diem, carpe diem…”
All the photographs on this website have been photographed using a hasselblad 503cx and an olympus omf 35mm.
Joel Wynn Rees is a photographer based in Australia.
