...Line of Sight Exhibition by Broome photographer Peter Strain

The photographic artist is present in each picture. Not that you can see him...

...but you can see that the photographer intentionally influences the way we see the photo to make the picture something more than a straight forward and objective record of a marine creature.

The pictures take on intentionally strongly imposed human values - sometimes poised like a product in a TV commercial, sometimes cartooonish like a TV image; and sometimes just plain beautiful like a colorful graphic art image created in a studio. But they are all nature photographs shot on location.

While wildlife photography has been more thought of as pure nature photography this website and exhibition material sets out to show that...

...modern nature photography can be fascinating and compelling art as well.

And wildlife photography can also provide new ways of engaging with nature and take its place in the galleries, museums, offices and homes as a new era of compelling...

...Wildlife Art.
