Jeff Paine briefly entered photography over 15 years ago, when film was expensive and buildings made great models because they didn’t move!  Costs and other interests delayed a serious return to photography until around 4 years ago, when professional digital equipment was proving a worthy alternative to the traditional.  A Circa Nocturna photographer for 2 years, Jeff has worked alongside many amazing photographers and now spends most of his time helping new photographers, models, designers and other industry contributors with building their portfolios and businesses.

Regularly shooting freelance projects in areas such as fashion and beauty, portraiture, fine art and alternative, you can also find Jeff instructing lighting workshops at ShutterClass Studios or building props and gadgets for high speed photography and light painting.

Jeff is exhibiting and selling his work at one hundredth gallery until 2 October 2011.  Please click on the image below for further examples of Jeff’s work.

Natalie’s work encompasses simplicity and curiosity. Having the opportunity to travel to Poland, she enjoyed capturing its growth and raw splendor, in particular Gdansk. The images exhibited explore this city, which was once blessed with wealth; now resurging as a hauntingly beautiful shipping port, after years of struggle.

Natalie’s strong dedication to commercial/fine art is the driving source of her photography. Natalie has been awarded Silver and Silver distinction in both the 2011 AIPP Victorian Epson Professional Photography Awards (VPPY) and the 2011 Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPA).

At 17, straight after attending an all girls’ Catholic school, I was accepted to study Fine Arts Photography at the Victorian College of the Arts. Needless to say the transition from “high school” to “art school” was an interesting experience. One I may not have been ready for at the time.

At 20, I became distracted from my studies and started photographing local bands. I soon found myself photographing for a Melbourne street press magazine.

Every weekend saw me at a different venue photographing a different band learning the art of adaptation along with improving and gaining technical skill. Looking back, this “on-the-job-training” would be an incredibly valuable experience, one that would see me photograph graduate from the local music scene to  photographing international acts like the Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, Groove Armada and Ms Suzanne Vega at some of Australia’s top entertainment venues.

This period in time was awesome fun. Sometimes stressful, but fun! Did I mention I was shooting on film during this time?

A digital SLR was soon invested for cost and practical reasons. Between gigs I eventually started photographing various music festivals and then Film and TV events such as the TV Week Logie Awards.

In 2009 I was also invited to photograph the 12th Rendez-Vous in French Cinema conference in Paris.

After nearly 7 years of photographing bands and all things entertainment, I found great pleasure in travelling and photographing, applying what I learned when photographing bands to a more relaxed stage. In 2010, I decided to move away (for the moment) from the entertainment world to now focus on my more creative pursuits. In June 2010 I was selected to exhibit in a group show at New North Gallery, my first exhibition in 5 years.  I also had artwork exhibited in group shows such as the CCP “Kodak Salon” and the Brunswick St Gallery’s “Picture This”.

In July 2010, I was invited to showcase a series titled “Constructure” at New North Gallery.

In November 2010, I was also successful in winning the “People’s Choice Award” at the New North Prize Salon at New North Gallery for my photograph “Paris” a digital B&W photograph .

2011 has now seen an invitation to exhibit at New North Gallery (March) as part of an exhibition showcasing established and emerging female artists to commemorate the centenary of International Women’s Day, at Art Melbourne the Affordable Art Fair as an emerging artist for the start program and now at one hundredth gallery (Sept-Oct).

I have also been producing work for private collectors both in Australia and in France.

I continue to look forward to taking photographs and hope I get to share them soon with you all.

Wolfgang Glowacki is a Tasmanian and Australian wilderness landscape photographer. He specializes in Tasmanian landscape photography and wilderness photography. Be inspired by the amazing landscapes, intricate details and incredible macro.  His photography has received numerous awards and his photographs have been published extensively in a large variety of media ranging from calendars, books, advertising and the publications of Australian  Geographic, Wild magazine, 40 Degree South and many more.

“Thank you for having a look at my photographic art. I’d like to introduce you to the natural world I know. Come follow along on my journey. Explore, consider, and take something with you. This is nature through my eyes. These photographs do not arise from any particular desire to see the world through a lens, but rather from my deep passion for this land we call wilderness. It has shaped every aspect of my life. I wish to show you the amazing, beautiful and powerful forces that have created the Earth we live on.”

I particularly enjoy doing macro photography.  I find myself looking at the world in a completely different way than with any of my other work.  There is so much in the small details of nature that can be missed if you don’t REALLY stop to take it all in.  For this kind of work you have to sit back and absorb the wilderness a while, clear your mind from the office stress, the traffic and mobile phones you left behind and then the details begin to reveal themselves.  Sometimes, I find, the beauty is in the little things.” – Wolfgang Glowacki

Wolfgang has three framed works on exhibition at one hundredth gallery until Sunday 26 June.

Born in Beijing to an artist father and actress mother, Michell was immersed in classical music and fine arts through her childhood years and was formally trained as a concert pianist.

Moving to Melbourne in the early 1990’s from a foreign country resulted in the inevitable language barrier.  It was during this period of adjustment that Michell learnt to rely on her non-verbal senses, expressing herself in pictures with a simple point-and-shoot camera.  It was during her architectural studies that Michell’s passion for photography blossomed.  In 2008, Australia and the GFC crossed paths and she suddenly found herself unemployed with a bruised confidence and unsure about the future.  At this point, Michell truly immersed herself in photography.  She packed a digital SLR camera and left for Japan to find herself…

The ‘eye for detail’ inherited from her late father and no formal training in photography resulted in a refreshing and sensitive approach.  Years of classical still-life, life drawing and oil painting combined with strict architectural training have given Michell an innate ability to find the ideal composition, angling and lighting to sublimate any subject matter. She is able to quickly hone in on the soul of an image and turn it into a reflective, meaningful piece of work that evokes feeling and thought from the viewer.

Michell has three artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.

Originally from Auckland, New Zealand Kate has been travelling and living in different countries, in between studying and working, for the last 5 years. Trained as an architect, Kate’s passion for photography began with a course in black and white film photography 5 years ago. Kate still continues to pursue the art form that is black and white film photography as she finds nothing more satisfying than developing her own photographs, but has also moved into the world of digital photography.

Each country she places her feet down in provides a new opportunity to create and capture new memories. Photography allows her to discover as much as she can about each place through the eye of her lens. Kate has a particular interest in exploring the effects of light on places, buildings and objects. Combining her passions of travel and photography has broadened Kate’s horizons and she strongly believes that “art is not about what you see, but what you make others see”. She hopes through her photographs she can share some of her experiences.

Kate currently resides in Melbourne, a city with one of the most interesting art and design cultures she has experienced. She recently exhibited at the Build New Memories fundraising exhibition for The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal to help those affected by wide spread flooding in Queensland. She also exhibited at the 10th Annual Traditional Darkroom Printmakers Exhibition at Michaels Gallery where she was selected to exhibit at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale later this year.

Kate has five artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.
