EXCLUSIVE TIME WITH ART WOLFE ON HAMILTON ISLAND, QUEENSLAND
Since the announcement of Art Wolfe’s visit to Australia, many photographers and others, particularly from Queensland, have asked (a) if it were possible for Art to visit Brisbane (in addition to Sydney, Melbourne & Perth) and (b) if it were possible to arrange an event for a very small group (maximum of 15 people), preferably in a picturesque and appealing location. Arrangements have now been made for such a small group event.
If you have never heard of Art Wolfe, do yourself a favour and visit his website at Art Wolfe. You will be blown away by his photography to date! It is simply stunning. Whilst there have a look at some of his “Travels to the Edge” TV series.
No wonder Sir David Attenborough said: “Art Wolfe’s photographs are a superb evocation of some of the most breathtaking spectacles in the world.” and,
The New York Times Book Review said: “There’s a stunning clarity and vibrancy in Art Wolfe’s wildlife portraits, which are careful, often haunting, compositions.”
Art Wolfe is truly at the pinnacle of fine art photography in the world and whilst in Australia he will be travelling to Queensland to undertake some private photography of the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays. Whilst there, he will conduct one small group lecture series on Hamilton Island, for a select group of Australian photographers.
