LightVision

Wildlight photographer and founder, Philip Quirk has embarked on his longest panorama yet - photographing Oxford Street, Sydney from Queens Street to Hyde Park! An incredible undertaking that will document one of Sydney’s most famous streets. The final work will be an amazing collection of over 100 black and white images taken with a 5″x4″ Linhoff camera shot on Tri-X film, then printed on fibre based paper. Sounds like an archival dream, both technically and for future generations as a significant document of Sydney in the early 21st Century. You can view and purchase images from Part One of the project from Josef Lebovic Gallery.
When Phil first told me about the project, I was immediately taken aback by the scope of the project, there’s a huge number of individual images to complete, and because it’s shot on a large format camera, each one is very detailed. It also poses many technical challenges, such as keeping consistent lighting, dodging prams and large Mercedes 4WD’s that block his view at the critical moment.

So look out for Phil when you’re on Oxford Street!
