Raised in Sydney Australia, Warwick began outdoor activities age 7 years and photography aged 15 years following in his father's footsteps. Using his fathers 35mm Exakta camera and a makeshift darkroom in his mothers laundry, he began taking, developing and printing black and white photos. Early influences included photographers such as Ansell Adams and Edward Weston which lead to an interest in large format photography, and the challenges associated with carrying this equipment on long treks.
Camping and photographic equipment changed over the years, but the passion for the outdoors and photography remained. This passion has taken him to every continent, from deep canyons to climbing 8000m peaks. He is presently based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and in Tasmania, Australia.
Currently using Nikon full frame and Fujifilm medium format cameras, his aim is to produce high quality prints celebrating both the beauty of nature and the talents of urban designers. The taking, processing and printing are all done by the photographer to ensure that the original vision is reproduced in the final print.
Each Fine Art print is made using a Canon ipf6450 wide format printer with Lucia EX archival 12 pigment ink set, using either Moab Juniper Rag ( semigloss ) or Somerset Rag ( matte ) archival cotton rag paper.
Most prints come in 2 sizes, Large 35.4 x 24 inch ( 90 x 61 cm ) or Medium 24 x 16.5 inch ( 61 x 42 cm ) which includes a 0.67 inch ( 1.7 cm ) blank border on all sides to increase framing options. Some photographs which are not a standard 3:2 aspect ratio eg panoramic prints, may come as different sizes. Some photographs taken with older cameras will not maintain what is considered to be acceptable quality if enlarged to the large size, and those may only be offered in the medium size. Some taken on the newer equipment may be able to be enlarged to an even larger size, so please email me if you have specific needs so that I can discuss this with you.
All prints are sold not mounted and unframed, to decrease postage and handling costs, and because framing is a personal choice depending on the print chosen, the preference of the purchaser and the location the print will be displayed.
There is a strict limit of 20 prints of each photo made, regardless of the size printed. The cost of the prints rises after each print is sold, so the first print is significantly cheaper than the last, as once 20 prints are sold, that photo is withdrawn from sale.
Each print will have a small identifier printed in the photo which will include the photographers initials and the number of the print eg WRB 3/20 The large watermark seen in the display images on this website are not in the final prints.
