Sightlines (inbunden, eng)

Australia and the Australian landscape conjure up images of golden sand beaches with blue water and white-tipped waves, red, rocky expanses punctuated with the ghostly trunks of gum trees, blue-green tree-filled mountains, or misty rain forest canopies. Evocative, achingly beautiful, fragile, terrible in its splendour: Australia is much more than just the sun burnt country of Dorothy McKellar fame.

Lisa Michele Burns expertly frames its splendour in her stunning photographs, delighting in seeing and capturing the patterns hidden within landscapes. An award-winning photographer, Burns seeks to document the fragility of the environment both above and below the surface.

She is inspired by the details of nature and strongly believes that photography is as much about seeing and learning as it is capturing, taking the time to research each location, its history and formation. Burns’ ability to capture the soft hues and vibrant tones of Australia’s many colour palettes makes this collection something to marvel at.
