Do you photograph the thing or the do you photograph the light?
I am not so much interested in documenting the world, rather I’m more interested in interpreting it, figuratively. I could say controversially that photographers who document the world lack the imagination to interpret it. Below are 3 recent examples of photographing the light rather than the thing. What I have come to understand is that the literal is the beginning, the foundation for the figurative. Too many photographers and camera clubs strive only to master the literal b


Reflections on Francisco Goya & Frank Hurley
I've just completed a NGV online workshop for 5 weeks on, 10 Artists you should know.. And I found it interesting that there was a reading disucssion between Goya and Frank Hurley. The journalistic aspect of both their works.

In an article by Eric Campbell June 2021 for the NGV wrot


Max Dupain : A Portrait, biography by Helen Ennis, 2026
Max Dupain : A Portrait by Helen Ennis, just released book, Sept 2026. Thanks to Wendy Kleyn for some research work here.

A Minimalist Honour from Austria, August 2026
Minimalist Award, Honourable mention, Austria, 2026. Very happy to receive a honourable mention in the Minimalist Award out of Austria at the end of August. Ironically, I shot this in 2004 on film on Hasselblad while on location on my family winery in Margaret River of a feather I found in the vineyard. This is the edge of a feather, called Vexillum, deriving from Latin. It reminded me of a ploughed field that I recall from BBC TV production of Thomas Hardy’s, Tess of the d’U


Melbourne Affordable Art Fair, 27 - 30 Aug, 2026
Represented by Irid Gallery at the Melbourne Affordable Art Fair, 27 - 30 Aug 2026, some people looking at my work. WHOA 23,000 people attended the Affordable Art Fair Aug 27 – 30 2026 at the Royal Exhibition building in Melbourne. What a blast, a real rollercoaster of feelings.
