PHOTOGRAPHY

Thank you for checking out my portfolio of landscape photography, captured solely on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Australia. Over the past 7 years, my inspiration has had many highs and lows, but overall, the peninsula’s coastline has left an imprint on my mind, creating a series of heartfelt memories, and ultimately leaves me on a continuous chase for the next photograph. Like many other Landscape Photographers, the pursuit of special light, usually occurring at sunrise or sunset, is the main thing I hope to capture when I’m out there. That being said, I more recently have learnt to appreciate a variety of weather and tidal conditions, leading to a more diverse collection of imagery.

The combination of exploring a location, searching for interesting angles, finding balance and depth in a composition, and then practicing the art of post-processing (or “editing”) is something that I strive to improve with each image. Fundamentally, being at the right place at the right time is essential, and although I do regard this as an artform, I cannot take credit for the incredible scenery our mysterious universe provides, and I can only hope that the awe, excitement and artistic expression is communicated in this portfolio.

ILLUSTRATION

As well as landscape photography, I am currently working on illustrations, which are drawn by hand, digitally. They are inspired by the Mornington Peninsula’s flora and fauna. While it is still the early days for this style of art, I am finding the process quite engaging. I hope these pieces convey just what this beautiful place does to my imagination, when I am out there on a walk or a photoshoot. Again, thank you for checking out my work. It is sincerely appreciated.

POETRY

Inspired by nature and philosophical contemplation, these pieces act as an outlet for what can’t quite be put into imagery, but can be put into words. The style has a range of influences including the music genres of rap and metalcore. All of my poetry can be found on my Instagram page @greginguanti.
