Toowoomba - 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.

TOOWOOMBA

An architect’s delight of a place, with a beautifully restored range of classical Federation to art nouveau plus some uniquely Queenslander designs.

The super wide streets give a sense of old western movie sets with an eclectic mix of trendy cafes and a rich cultural centre with its famous Empire Theatre known as the jewel in the crown.

Thank you for collecting my work.
