(and stay home if ya can).We’ll get through this, again. Today’s ‘Bumps consists of 12 photographs, shot this year that I’m proud of. I hope they […]

About Aquabumps

Since 1999

Eugene Tan (::Uge) started taking photos when he was nine. He’s a self taught tinkerer, a constant experimenter and a relentless documenter who likes to shoot unassisted, mainly at sunrise. If conditions permit you’ll find :: Uge swimming with his camera or dangling out of helicopters, …constantly hunting for new angles on his favourite subjects.

Photography is a way for him to explore his first love, the beach. And since he lives at the beach, that means documenting his home, Bondi. He’s a beach bum. Most of the time he’s either on the beach shooting, digging holes in the sand with his kids or in the line up. And because :: Uge and his family live smack bang in the middle of Bondi, a stone’s throw from his Aquabumps Gallery, you’ll rarely find him further than 300 metres from the shoreline. Close enough to catch those magic Bondi moments when they happen, with his camera, his board or both.

Aquabumps started in 1999 back when the internet was brand new and social media didn’t even have a name. It began as a hobby … a photo a day from the beach emailed to mates. It grew organically. Twenty years later Aquabumps’ photographs are now seen by hundreds of thousands of people, daily.

The best of :: Uge’s work hangs in the Aquabumps Gallery 151 Curlewis Street Bondi Beach NSW 2026 Telephone 02 9130 7788 Australia. Yes, they can be shipped globally.

Our back garden looking LUSH.

Did you know: The glass door that opens out to our amazon-like garden has the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s classic – ‘Beyond The Horizon’ printed across the glass. Have you ever noticed? Next time you’re in the gallery take a closer look.

Beyond the horizon, behind the sun
At the end of the rainbow life has only begun
In the long hours of twilight 'neath the stardust above
Beyond the horizon it is easy to love

‘Shoreline Glow’ brightening up this gloomy day.

BEHIND THE PRINT - Shot on the very first day of Winter last year (1st June 2020), bright hues glowed from the North and we witnessed an explosion of colour over Bondi Beach. The colours were so strong it looked unreal, they were even pulled back in post.

One of our all time favourites 'Kombi' styled perfectly by @mrjasongrant 

BEHIND THE PRINT: A local surfer used his vehicle as a sports locker to keep all his surfboards inside. He used to ride on up, grab a board and head out for a surf. It was a brilliant idea, but recent changes to the parking system made this illegal – Kombi Gone!

Aquabumps featured in the @sydneymorningherald – on the day Bondi Beach closed.

Instead of documenting the locals at sunrise like he has done each morning for the past 21 years, Uge started posting archival shots he’d taken in tropical locations like the Amalfi Coast and Milos in Greece - to give Aquabumps readers an escape. 

“We wanted to keep people motivated.. we ended up doing that for nine weeks” Eugene Tan of @aquabumps

Bring memories of the European summer into your home with one of our artworks – there’s still enough time to get your custom order in before Christmas!
