It&#8217;s a good problem to have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tal grew up on the waves at Warrnambool with his surfer dad Marty and shifted to the Surf Coast in 2017. His pursuits as a land-based hobby photographer took a life-changing turn when he bought a waterproof camera housing from a mate.<\/p>\n<p>With that purchase his calling to the sea became a calling to capture in photographic frames reflections of its immense power, drama, dynamics, colours and beauty.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/TalLemmens3-Image-B_47058.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tal grew up in Warrnambool before moving to the Surf Coast in 2017. Photo: BOBBY DAZZLER PHOTOGRAPHER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In wetsuit and fins, with up to 10 kilograms of camera tethered to him, he takes on the water and all of its moods, seeking to preserve the most fleeting of moments \u2013 the impossibly perfect symmetry of a wave, its thundering crash, a shattering of droplets, a glinting of sunlight, a dapple of calm.<\/p>\n<p>Tal said being the in moment is what got him into photography.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You would call it mindfulness really, when things are what they are around you, and you&#8217;re just soaking it in. &#8220;I think that for me is the love of it. It&#8217;s kind of like this wild chase. You&#8217;re out there and you don&#8217;t know if the perfect wave is going to come through, or the perfect backwash.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve just got to be there and hope that you&#8217;re in the right spot, and that the camera aligns, and that your settings are on-point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Determination counts. Some days Tal&#8217;s exertions might produce &#8216;diddly-squat&#8217;. On others 1,500 to 2,000 shots from one session might produce four or five he is happy with \u2013 or less even.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/TalLemmens4-ImageBo_45882.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The amount of photos Tal captures at any one time can range from nothing through to thousands and only four or five he is happy with.

I love the ability where people can have a wander through an image and create their own reality from what they are seeing,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>People will be able to make that experience their own as Tal again joins hundreds of artists sharing their craft during this year&#8217;s Surf Coast Arts Trail, on August 2 and 3.<\/p>\n<p>Having debuted on the Trail last year \u2013 exhibiting in a space at Torquay&#8217;s Ocean Grind caf\u00e9 \u2013 he is looking forward to returning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was such a hit, I was super rapt with it, and lucky to get the support of Mark at Ocean Grind,&#8221; Tal says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I actually had some customers who have been following my work for a while come down from Melbourne, so that&#8217;s a really great testimony for the Trail.
