Emma Coombes is a Tasmanian-based photographer whose work explores the emotional weight and quiet resilience of the natural world. With a background in design and communications, she brings a refined visual sensibility to her moody, immersive images—often drawn from Tasmania’s wild and remote landscapes. Her practice dwells in liminal spaces, where shadow and light meet, where silence and elemental energy coexist. Emma’s work is deeply informed by her experience living and working in regional and remote parts of Australia, as well as overseas. These experiences shape her grounded, instinctive connection to place and inform her photographic themes of isolation, transformation, and ecological reverence. Emma’s photography has received national recognition. She was a finalist in the 2024 Henry Jones Art Prize, a 2025 Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize (Emerging) finalist, and winner of the 2025 Geeveston Art Award (Photography). Her debut solo exhibition, DEADWOOD (2023), explored the sculptural grace of dying trees, while her current exhibition Untamed Tasmania: The Wild Heart of Our Island (2024–25) continues her investigation into the fierce beauty and resilience of Tasmania’s wilderness.
