Broken Hill - Small Print

Place Portraits are a series that reimagines familiar Australian streetscapes and regional landmarks. 

Each work begins with my original architectural photographs, layered with local botanicals and carefully refined in Photoshop to blur the boundary between photography and illustration, creating images that feel both documentary and dreamlike.  

A sense of yesteryear, quirky details, and unexpected compositions give each portrait a playful character whilst maintaining a strong connection to place. Architecture is decluttered and isolated against soft pastel hued backdrops creating a calm tone that contrasts with the detail of the architecture.

The final piece is printed on premium textured fine art paper to enhance the effect. Each print has a digital artist signature along the bottom right-hand corner and a white border for framing.

BROKEN HILL

Driving into the “Hill” is met with a hive of mining activity bordering a rich cultural nucleus with elegant Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The super wide streets welcome visitors to explore and quench their thirst with a cold beer and live entertainment in one of the many pubs. 

Exploring the residential streets in between, quietly nestles random collections of miners cottages, corrugated iron fences, and small corner shops from the days of milkshakes and lolly jars.

Thank you for collecting my work.
