Landscape Photography World

South Australian landscape photographer David Dahlenburg explores a creative life shaped by curiosity, emotional connection, and a deep respect for the natural world. David reflects on how his passion for photography began during a three-month journey through the UK and Europe with a 35mm film camera — an experience that sparked a fascination with crafting images that feel both captivating and mysterious. His travels through Peru, the USA, New Zealand, and across Australia helped refine his eye and ultimately led to receiving the 2019 South Australian AIPP Emerging Photographer of the Year award. David shares how creativity has always been central to who he is, from songwriting and performing in bands to now creating visual artworks that encourage personal interpretation. He speaks about his love for images that hold unanswered questions, inviting viewers to find their own meaning within the frame. Spending long, quiet moments in remote environments has also reshaped the way he sees the world. For David, waiting for light in the wilderness is both grounding and reflective — a reminder of the fragility and value of the landscapes he photographs. He also discusses the joy of knowing that his artwork hangs in homes across Australia and beyond, a meaningful affirmation of the emotional connection his images create. Through his thoughtful process and deep appreciation for the environment, David demonstrates how photography can open conversations and inspire a closer relationship with the natural world.

Brisbane photographer Dallas Grenenger reveals a creative life shaped by stillness, simplicity, and a deep appreciation for quiet moments. Dallas reflects on how his earliest experiences — photographing flowers, family, and road trips with a small Kodak camera — planted a spark that resurfaced years later when he picked up a mirrorless camera and began teaching himself the craft.   Dallas describes himself as naturally introverted, and photography has become his way of expressing something personal without noise or pressure. He shares how he gravitates toward calm, contemplative scenes, favouring black and white images for their ability to strip away distraction and bring light, texture, and emotion to the forefront. Long-exposure work plays a key role in his style, allowing him to slow time, soften movement, and create images that feel reflective and slightly surreal.   Whether crafting fine art pieces, portraits, or commercial projects, Dallas approaches each frame with the same quiet intentionality — clean compositions, space to breathe, and mood shaped by natural light. Beyond photography, he talks about his love of cycling, exploring new places at a slower pace, and the way these experiences feed into his creative mindset.   Through his thoughtful process and grounded perspective, Dallas reminds us that photography is as much about paying attention as it is about making images — an invitation to pause and notice the quiet beauty in everyday scenes.   I hope you enjoy the show!

Wendy Bagnall, a photographic artist based in Surrey, England, has long been inspired by the hours she spent in the darkroom with her father during her teenage years. Her work draws deeply from the natural landscape, interpreting light, texture, and form through an expressive, often abstract lens. Wendy’s artistic approach is fluid and intuitive, emphasizing emotional resonance over realism.   Immersed in the rhythms and energy of the natural world, Wendy works without boundaries, capturing moments that reflect her personal connection to the environment. Through in-camera techniques such as multiple exposures and intentional camera movement (ICM), she creates authentic, painterly compositions that invite viewers to pause and find calm in the abstraction of nature’s forms.   In conversation, Wendy shares the evolution of her craft—from traditional landscapes to her experimental methods—and the therapeutic connection she finds through photography. She discusses the importance of printing her work, mentoring others, and nurturing creative confidence through workshops. Wendy also reflects on her experiences exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London and the Toronto Photography Festival in Canada, milestones that highlight her unique artistic voice.   Her photography is a meditation on emotion and energy, where the boundaries between subject and feeling dissolve into visual poetry.   I hope you enjoy the show!
