New Fine Art Visualisations
The newest page to the Photoshots website was a fine art gallery launched late last year. There are ~250 photos available to purchase as prints, framed enlargements or canvas wall art.
Here you can view many of my award images, and photos taken from assorted outdoor adventures and personal projects. Perfect to enjoy in print at home, at work, or as a gift for someone special.
Much of the work has been taken from various personal trips, that I have taken to explore the great outdoors. I will commonly head about Canterbury or Otago with the sole objective to take photos for pleasure. I don’t always have a full plan as such, rather more a vague desire to try new technique, or visit somewhere new that I have only heard about. Often too, it is genuine exploration, driving down side roads just ‘to see’ what is there. It is seldom without reward, and I have been richly rewarded from such curiosity on many trips.
Subsequently I have many landscape images from all about the South Island, and to a lesser extent the North Island. I have tried to avoid too many ‘chocolate box’ photos, as I realise there are many other portals that will offer similar views. Instead, I have tried to offer a variety of locations, with visually interesting compositions, and unique interpretations. Though some locations are not always able to be truly unique – especially if you stick to signed areas and paths as required as good guardians of the countryside. Yet lighting and camera craft will always offer opportunity to add something unique to me.
I was taken very early in my career by the colourful series taken by Robin Morrison as he toured heartland New Zealand. I too have a fascination with simple design, with bold colour. Quite often these aesthetic elements are juxtaposed amongst quite unexpected ‘finds’ out and about in heartland New Zealand.
I have provided variations of colour and black and white, as well as a variety of size formats. These range from square (1:1 ratio), some 5:7, and panoramic 3:1 ratio. The most common by far though is native full frame 3:2 camera ratio.
Since launching, the gallery has recently had a refresh. Using some clever design software, many sample photos have been added, as well as a sizing guide. The room visuals offer a very clever interpretation of various frame options, sizing and generally how a photo may look in a domestic or office setting.
The aim is to assist prospective art buyers better understand the options online. I know that is challenging on computer, trying to guage what size or finish is best.
Yet I will always be on hand to help, and offer advice as needed.
