There has been a proliferation of aerial images in contemporary Australian landscape photography. These aerial images are quite often very abstract in nature, which begs the question – what is the visual language of aerial photography? more

End frame: Quietly – Marin County Hills, CA (Infrared) by Nathan Wirth
Titled “Quietly - Marin County Hills, CA (Infrared)”, this image is a striking example of how black and white photography is more, not less. more
Ian Hill
Photography is a process of enquiry; he observes, listens, and tries to understand the land. Although he lives in a well-known area, his black and white images abstract place and question our connection and response to it. more
A Passion in Question
Whether I call myself a photographer or a photographic artist, it’s what my life centres around. It has given my life purpose. And yet, I ask myself, do I love photography, or instead do I love what photography offers me? more
A Classification of Landscapes
Inspiration comes in many forms. In this case, it was reading The Ongoing Moment by Geoff Dyer that provoked an idea. Dyer, right at the beginning of the book cites the Jorge Luis Borges short story called The Analytical Language of John Wilkins. more
Voices
But where is home if not in our minds? And what is a voice, if not the loudest expression of one’s self? more

What first drew me to Lizzie Shepherd’s Arctic birches at sunset, Lake Tornetrask, were its lovely muted colours. Winter in northern regions is sufficiently devoid of strong colour that we’re tempted to revert to monochrome. more
“The Great Wilderness” by Alex Nail
I think it’s fair to say that only a handful of people consistently take great photographs of the mountains in the UK. For one, the act of getting up into the mountains isn’t trivial. more

I believe Art makes us truly human, or perhaps more accurately, the ability to appreciate the beauty in form, colour, shape and structure of an object, painting, sculpture, or photograph makes us human. It can define who we truly are. more
The Journey
The thrill of such moments hasn't diminished for me. Whether seeing this misty meadow, the lacey texture of waterfall spray, the glint of Sierra sunlight on granite, or the tapestries of an evening forest, Yosemite has delivered a transcendent experience to me. more
Michael DiMeola – Portrait of a Photographer
While I think nature photographers can leverage our craft as a means to decompress from our hectic lives, I do think there’s a case to be made for smaller scenes such as the ones Michael is drawn to capture as having more potential as a mechanism for stress reduction. more
