Tal Lemmens is an ocean and seascape photographer based in Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia. Tal is originally from Warrnambool and relocated in 2017. 

He frequently visits the Great Ocean Road and other parts of the Australian coastline. 

Many of Tal’s photographs document this wild, windy and rugged part of the southern hemisphere. 

Tal’s photography endeavors have led to his images being well ranked in both national and international photo competitions.

Mental well being is an important driver in Tal’s  journey to capture his images. 

His photographs are as much about the journey to capture these moments, as it is about producing the final photograph.

Tal is a passionate creator. He strives to promote inquisitiveness and emotive feelings through his images, giving viewers a connection to the moment. 

No matter what, the ocean will always be a part of him –  Tal states the ocean is his lifeblood, “I am consigned to the sea.”

The local artist just picked up first Place (VIEphoto Gold Medal) - Our World Category at the VIENNA International Photo Award 2020.

He checked into the Departure Lounge with Stampsy and Josh to celebrate the win.
