Photography art Gallery Friday Round Up - 4 November, 2016|Photography Art Definition

This week on Photojournalism Now: Friday Round Up 3 very different exhibitions - Andrew Chapman's Drive Line in Melbourne and exhibitions in Sydney - The Light Collective and Stephen Dupont.

Exhibition: Melbourne

Andrew Chapman ? Drive Line

The ultimate of the Ford plant in Melbourne, and indeed the withdrawal from Australia of this iconic car producer, is a major blow to this united states of america?S production industry, but greater importantly it is devastating for loads of households who've depended on the plant for their livelihoods.

Ford is gone. Holden might be final up store and so will Toyota.

Still I?M not going to say anymore at the shortsightedness of the Liberal authorities and its epic failure to well known the big ramifications of allowing our car industry to crumble to dirt?

Melbourne photojournalist Andrew Chapman has captured the final days of the Ford plant in Broadmeadows (on the outskirts of Melbourne) in his common fashion making pictures that resonate at a deep human degree, even when they simplest function equipment as many of these do.

Chapman draws out the tales of this plant, which started operation in 1959 and closed its doorways in October 2016, in black and white, which serves to right now region these snap shots as historical documents.

The series changed into commissioned through Hume City Council and may be on display till the quit of January.

It is fantastic that Hume had the foresight to engage Chapman before it was too past due.

Drive Line is an critical collection and will serve as a useful archive for destiny generations.

Kati Chanda - Lake Eyre

Interpretations from the Air

Adam Williams, Paul Hoelen, Luke Austin, Ignacio Palacios and Ricardo Da Cunha make up The Light Collective, a group of Australian panorama photographers four of which have just launched a new book and exhibition of pics of Lake Eyre taken from above. These photos may be oil art work and they're rich with texture. Many of the scenes are otherworldly and all are highly lovely.

?When you are taking to the air its (Lake Eyre?S) authentic complexity, variety and immensity is breathtakingly found out. Salt deposits, eroded channels and inlets, layers of sediment and algal blooms provide without end diffused versions of texture, traces, patter and coloration,? The organization says.

Adam, Paul, Ignacio and Luke’s images are truly stunning. I’ll be reviewing the book in December, but if you’re in Sydney check out the show at The Depot Gallery. You can see more of their work here -The Light Collective . There's also a behind the scenes video.

Stephen Dupont - The White Sheet Series

Havana, Cuba (C) Stephen Dupont

Multi-award winning Australian photojournalist Stephen Dupont caps off a brilliant year with his exhibition The White Sheet Series at Sydney’s Stills Gallery. This year Dupont has won numerous awards for his amazing book Generation AK including the Olivier Reboot Award, POYi Book of the Year and the Australian Photobook of the Year, adding to a long list of accolades.

The White Sheet Series features portraits taken by Dupont in various places around the globe including PNG, Cuba and India. Carrying a white sheet with him to use as a backdrop, Dupont sets up his makeshift studio on the streets of the cities he visits and invites locals to sit for him. The use of the white sheet places these portraits in the mode of traditional ethnographic photography where a blank background was commonly used in early portraiture. But Dupont’s take is original, and in his white sheet portraits we can see the people holding up the sheet, and the surrounds to give context and personality to the images that goes beyond the stereotypical portrait.
