Photographic Events April 2022

Offical opening 1st May 2022 – 2pm to 5 pm

Danielle Edwards is an Australian photographer known for her images of plants, flowers and decaying items. Her formal photographic education was in both art and science. She was a practicing clinical photographer for 28 years and has always had a passion for Art and Science. Throughout the years Danielle’s photographic passions have oscillated between the two disciplines.

Danielle’s exquisite hand crafted platinum palladium photographs maximise the tonal values captured in her works in this truely beautiful exhibition.

Platinum-palladium is regarded as the pinnacle of archival hand crafted printing. Known as Platinotype, has attracted photographic artist-practitioners since William Willis’s invention of 1873, and became the dominant process in 1900, but was commercially discontinued by 1937. The traditional method is substantially a development process, in contrast to the present version.

The Photographic life of John Street from 1960’s to today .

 The photographer paints with light – and throughout his long career multi-award-winning John Street has always done that with the finesse of a master painter.

In Swinging 60s London, Street worked in fashion, food and product photography, gaining an international reputation in the advertising world.

After leaving the advertising world behind, Street turned to the largest of large-format photography.  Using a 20 x 24-inch grand format camera and Ilfochrome media, he began producing images of great art and beauty created with natural objects, fruit, flowers, even feathers, and light.  The images he created are true originals with no intermediate negative or transparency – yet these are still photographs “light paintings” by definition.
