New Zealand Landscapes

British-born photographer, Anthony Turnham, has firmly established himself and his photography here in his new home of New Zealand. His photographic wall art is a collection of scenic imagery predominantly from New Zealand and Australia but also encompasses photos of Europe and other parts of the world. Much of his work is reflective of the natural beauty that can be found in these amazing countries. As well as searching out fantastic natural locations Turnham also sees the visual appeal of architecture and often incorporates human elements into his prints, whether that be a magnificent cityscape or the grandeur of a pier leading out into the sea. This appreciation of both the natural and the man-made makes for a visually eclectic mix of imagery.

"My photography is representative of the beauty I see all around me. Ever since as a youngster I was fortunate enough to visit some of the prestigious galleries in London and Paris I have become obsessed with creating beautiful images through my photography. When we are presented with a fantastic view or an amazing landscape we can be stirred emotionally as the very essence of the scene resonates with us. I am enthralled by the challenge of capturing this beauty through the lens of my camera."

Originally a fine art painter, Anthony Turnham started getting serious about photography in the late 1990s. "I was drawn to photography because of the immediacy of the results. I used to spend hours upon hours creating paintings that were photorealistic - then it dawned on me. Why not just take a photo?". Due to the fact that our eyes can see colours and shades to a degree that is just not possible for the camera to record, Anthony often found himself disappointed by the results. "I was finding that the photos I was taking just weren't reflective of what I was actually seeing and feeling whilst I was there."
