With spring at the doorstep, most Aussies already have a weather eye on the beach. Sheridan Nilsson comes to the party with new collections of life defined by surf and sand. Tony Yeates gives us a curtain raiser to the Summer Olympic Games and more of Richard Woldendorp’s dazzling aerials of the Australian landscape are published in his new book, a copy of which can be yours if you win our whacky Wild about Wildlight testimonial competition:
Stronger, faster, higher and China—an Olympic story
Wildlight Photographer, Tony Yeates, keeps on moving on with his latest commission by VISA (Singapore) for their Visa Moving Images competition. Tony is one of five photographers in the Asia Pacific region to produce a series of images representing themes around the Beijing Olympic Games. The themes were stronger, faster, higher & China. The images were used as examples of subject matter to inspire the amateur photographers entering the competition Visa Moving Images. The commission also involved judging the final work from the entrants.
The Visa Moving Images site contains an in depth section about Tony and the inspiring images he captured in the Featured Photographer section. You can see his imagery, read an interview with Tony and find out more about his photographic career, just
