Peter Solness
Peter Solness is a multi-award-winning photographer, artist, educator and writer who specialises in the photographic method of Light Painting. This method involves mounting his camera on a tripod and working in darkness to allow long camera exposures of between 4 to 60 seconds. These long exposure times mean he can hand-illuminate his chosen subjects using small hand-held torches to create visual effects not generally associated with traditional methods of photography.
“THE SHED (reimagined) is a visual reinterpretation of the iconic Australian rural structure of a shearing shed. The series addresses the spaces and makes suggestions via the abstract introduction of light, of the inherent function of a shearing shed.
Shearing sheds are places little-touched by the impact of modern digital technology. The character of the structures; its timbers, gates, chutes, and aged equipment, are rich photographic subjects to explore.”
