Richard Walker
Photographer, Arts & Crafts (Blue Mountains, NSW)

As a fine art photographer, Richard Walker specialises in two areas: recording the work of artists and craftspeople; and producing unique portraits of flowers.

Most of this work occurs in his studio in Wentworth Falls, in the Blue Mountains.  Richard also has a studio space in Balmain, for the convenience of Sydney artists.

The challenge of capturing the detail of an artist’s work is what motivates Richard.  “I love the time I spend in the studio with beautiful objects.  I have photographed everything from paintings to sculpture, textiles to woodwork, ceramics to jewellery.  And the bonus for me is I am entrusted with an artist’s best work.”

Artists use these images on web sites, brochures, press advertisements and in portfolios.

Richard utilises either digital or film technology to produce high quality results.

Floral Portraits
Studio portraits of flowers are Richard’s personal passion.  “I want people to look at flowers with new eyes – to see parts of a flower they have never noticed before.”

A special technique called “light painting” is used to capture the detail in these floral portraits.  Essentially, Richard exposes individual flowers using a small handheld spotlight.  In a series of time exposures, he slowly builds the final image on a single frame of film.  The process requires patience and precision but the results are exciting and unique.

To produce quality enlargements, Richard photographs with a medium format film camera.  Prints are produced in limited editions.  Prices start from $160 for a limited edition 36 cm by 24 cm print.

Richard has exhibited at galleries in Sydney and the Blue Mountains.  His work is displayed at the Intercontinental Hotel, Sydney and the Shangri-la Resort in Fiji.  His floral portraits hang in private collections in the USA, England, Australia and New Zealand.
