The Flinders Ranges
An Inspiring Landscape for Artists & Photographers.
The Flinders Ranges to me as a photographer is a new place, an unexplored place of photographic opportunities. It’s not like the valleys of the Adelaide Hills, or the wide streets of the city of Adelaide where every man and his smartphone has instagrammed every inch of the city and its surrounds at least twice. Sure its easy to shoot something that is close, that is comfortable. The Flinders excites me; the ruggedness of the place will challenge any person with a camera but the reward makes it so worth it.
Its only been my second time here and this collection of photos is small but Im already in love with the Flinders Ranges. I now see why Sir Hans Heysen was so inspired to paint the colours of the Flinders. I will return to this mysterious place, I have only scratched the surface…this place has yet to give up its secrets to me.
