Peter Jarver: A Life's Work 1953-2003

In Peter Jarver: A Life's Work 1953-2003, a broad selection of Peter Jarver's best nature photography is brought together for the first time. It is an anthology brimming with beauty and emotion, where streams and boulders, trees and storm clouds appear not only as spectacular works of nature, but as carefully conceived and finely composed works of art. Peter Jarver became famous for magnificent lightning shots of Australia's Top End. Bold and dramatic, his pictures of looming thunderheads and turbulent skies revealed a view of the heavens rarely captured in photographic form. However, the skies above Darwin were not alone in attracting his expert eye. He also excelled as one of Australia's great landscape photographers, documenting Kakadu, the red centre, the Kimberleys, far north Queensland and many other locations across the Australian continent. Complemented by revealing (and often amusing) tales from Peter's photographic expeditions, this is a collection engaging the viewer at a level beyond that of mere first impressions. In the process, the legacy of one of Australia's most accomplished landscape photographers is celebrated in magnificent style. From Kakadu to Kosciusko, Uluru to Upolo Cay, this is Australia as uniquely captured by Peter Jarver.Jarver, Peter is the author of 'Peter Jarver: A Life's Work 1953-2003' with ISBN 9780975177556 and ISBN 0975177559.
