Remembering Penny Tweedie
We learn with great sadness of the recent death of Penny Tweedie, a longtime Wildlight photographer and great friend of the peoples of Arnhem Land and East Timor.  Penny was an outstanding photojournalist and photographer, a kind friend and a much valued member of the Wildlight family. Our sincere condolences go out to her family. Penny’s empathy, compassion and dedication can be remembered through the hundreds of images of Aboriginal Australians in our archive here.

Magical Pan-Australian Collection from Jeff Drewitz
Wildlight Photo Agency is delighted to share this wide ranging collection of top quality images from every corner of Australia. Marvel as we did in the beautiful clear light of photographer Jeff Drewitz’ massive 1,000-strong pan-Australian visual feast that can be enjoyed as you reminisce over the summer holidays and for all your graphic needs this year and beyond. Pictures of enduring quality like these are the hallmark of Wildlight and add to a library of stunning material contributed by more than 50 photographers from the Top End to Tassie.

New Aerials of Sydney Harbour

Always in demand from our library, Wildlight’s collection of images of Sydney Harbour from the air was recently updated when Andrew took to the skies for some fresh bird’s-eye shots all around Port Jackson—the city, harbour and ocean beaches, inner west harbourside suburbs and lots of places in between. For Sydney at its best - see here for great high-res photographs that are ready to go.

Akubra is Australian for Hat

As Aussie as bush and barbie, koala and kangaroo, the Akubra hat has many other practical uses. Since 1912, Australians have lived, loved and died in their Akubra. Wildlight photographer Grenville Turner has travelled Australia and creatively combined words and pictures to tell the story of the people who wear the Akubra. All Grenville’s Akubra images are model released to boot! “Not only does it shade the eyes from the glare of the hard Australian sun – you can fan a fire with it, keep a snake at bay, water your horse, belt a sheep and swat away flies – or keep it on your head because you like wearing it.” Take a look here for a preview of Grenville’s slant on this most famous of Aussie outback icons or buy the latest (2009) edition of the 96 page picture book at your favourite bookseller or online at ABC Shop.
