On behalf of Pro Photography WA we would like to give condolences to the family and friends of Richard Woldendorp who passed away this April.
Over his photographic career Woldendorp has received multiple awards, has had 38 solo exhibitions - one of these, 'Abstract Earth' was toured throughout WA and has contributed to many more exhibitions. He is the author of 27 books, publishing many of these himself. His contribution to the photographic industry will be greatly missed.
“One of the techniques I use in photographing from the air is that I deliberately exclude the horizon from the photograph, not giving the viewer a point of reference, which I think strengthens the image in its own right. I apply that both in nature and man-made landscapes. I think we can introduce an element of abstraction in photography as painters have conditioned us to that point of view. It is the painterly approach to photography that I pursue." - Richard Woldendorp
