Richard van Hoesel Land and Seascape Photography








These pages contain a selection of photographic images produced by Australian landscape photographer Richard van Hoesel. Based in Melbourne, a good deal of the work on display is of Australian landscapes and seascapes from the spectacular south eastern part of the continent, and in particular the fabulous Victorian coast.  


Since much of the power of a natural landscape photograph is derived from the unspoken trust that the image is a faithful recording of the scene as witnessed by the photographer, these images have been created using only techniques that are also available using conventional darkroom methods. No objects or colours that were not in the original scene have been added or removed. No colour filters have been used in taking any of these photographs, and since only nature's available light is used you will not find evidence of artificial lighting. The images were recorded onto film using traditional  large and medium format cameras to preserve exceptional detail.




Please feel free to send comments or questions about any aspect of these images, including licencing arangements. I hope you enjoy your visit.
