PHILIP PENMAN

These images I captured during my hosting of Phil Penman in August 2024, on behalf of Leica Akademie Australia, during his phenomenal two-day workshop. At the time, Tadao Ando’s MPavilion was set to be dismantled at the end of June 2025. However, due to its architectural significance and overwhelming public support, the City of Melbourne voted in June 2025 to extend its stay in Queen Victoria Gardens until 2030. Conceived initially as a five-month installation, the pavilion’s complex concrete structure made relocation difficult. Backed by Naomi Milgrom and several leading architects, the campaign to preserve it marked a rare shift from temporary to permanent. It stands as a tribute to architectural excellence in one of Melbourne’s most iconic green spaces. Tadao Ando said he was “honoured” by the city’s decision. The group photo captures some of the workshop participants with Phil. ‘Out of context’ - The last image is of Phil Penman captured at Federation Square during day two of the workshop.

Using atmospheric perspective to add depth and scale to your landscape photos! With @nathanielwise / Atmospheric perspective refers to the visual phenomenon observed in photography where the appearance of objects changes as they recede into the distance due to the interaction of light with the atmosphere. In landscape photography, the application of atmospheric perspective can enhance the sense of scale and depth, creating a more immersive depiction of the scene. The following are three key characteristics of atmospheric perspective: Color shift: Objects that are closer to the viewer generally appear more vivid and saturated, while those in the distance appear progressively lighter, less saturated, and bluer. This is because the atmosphere scatters and absorbs light, causing distant objects to be affected by the blue wavelengths of light. Contrast reduction: As objects move farther away, the contrast between them and their background decreases. This is due to the scattering of light, which leads to a softening of edges and a loss of fine details, resulting in a more muted and hazy appearance. Depth perception: Atmospheric perspective helps create a sense of depth and distance in an image. Distant mountains or landscapes may appear smaller, less detailed, and less sharp compared to foreground elements, contributing to a perceived three-dimensional space in the photograph. You can leverage atmospheric perspective by understanding and incorporating its characteristics into your compositions. By intentionally adjusting exposure, color balance, and contrast, you can emphasize the changes in saturation, tone, and sharpness between foreground and background elements, enhancing the perception of depth and scale in your images. Additionally, weather conditions such as fog, mist, or haze can further intensify the effect of atmospheric perspective, creating a sense of mystery in your photography. These conditions can help isolate foreground elements, create layers of depth, and enhance the overall mood and visual impact of your work. Among these breathtaking images captured by @nathanielwise, which one evokes the most profound feelings of scale and depth? 📸✨

Between the ice floes. In a remote region of the Arctic pack ice, I witnessed a lone Polar Bear in transit over the ice floes. Some of the floes are too far apart to jump, so the most efficient route is to swim between and even sometimes underneath them. Polar Bears have an incomprehensible level of endurance and survival instincts, being able to swim for hundreds of kilometres in a single continuous push. Working as a crew member on this Arctic sea ice voyage, I was exceedingly careful when capturing this moment from an aerial perspective. At all times I closely monitored the behaviour of the bear to ensure I did not impact its behaviour. These scenes were captured with @naturalworldsafaris in the international marginal ice zone, sitting just south of the North Pole and more than 12 nautical miles from the northern tip of Svalbard.

I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Marquesas 3 times now. Each island holds something different, but Nuku Hiva and Ua Pou completely blow me away every time. The dramatic volcanic mountains, rich history and culture all go hand in hand.

“Hanoi moves fast, but I try to slow it down. There’s always movement—bikes zipping past, vendors setting up, people weaving through the chaos like it’s second nature. It looks wild from the outside, but somehow, it all just works. I love catching those little in-between moments—someone haggling over flowers, a quick glance between strangers, a quiet pause in all the noise. They’re easy to miss, but that’s what makes them worth capturing. The Sony FE 50mm F1.2 G Master has been perfect for this kind of hunt—it adds such beautiful depth and cinematic feel to these fleeting moments, making them linger just a little longer.” - @kosnio ✨👏👏 Paired with his Sony Alpha 7C II (an excellent travel combo) 📸 #SonyAlpha
