Winning Image by Rod Capon – ‘Burning Desire’

There’s a story that’s told by Rod’s family about when being photographed as a baby he would often gaze at the camera with the look of amazement in his eye.  Unsurprising then that from as early as he can remember he’s loved not only the camera but also many different styles and types of photography, in particular stunning landscapes and glamorous portraits.

His love of shooting with models, studio work and lighting came a little later in his career, after he’d signed up for his workshop and found himself not only seeing but becoming hooked on the light. Digital photography then afforded Rod even greater creativity and the freedom to experiment.

The rest, as they say, is a photographic timeline and one that’s been recognised and captured in some very well-known and read magazines and publications, now many different swimwear and glamour magazines that now often see a Rod Capon image gracing their covers.

Rod has travelled and taken photographs in some of the world’s most amazing, exotic countries and locations including Spain, Portugal, the USA, the Caribbean, Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and all over his native Australia.

ANJA MEIXNER in conjunction with HEADON PHOTO FESTIVAL. Tuesday 8 May 6pm Artists talk Saturday 13th 4pm

 

My subjects were always Vanitas (transcience), fragility of nature and how far away human beings are from nature, the battle with the sexes and love, also the difference between the inner self and the loud outer world with all the unnecessary and false values in the eye of our mortality.

This time I want to call my exhibition “World Wehmut I”  (“World Wehmut II ” follows on the 5th june 2018, 6 pm, at Tap gallery) as so many things are in degenerated disorder on this planet.

It will be about my very actual feelings, what all this wrongs of pollution and unfairness, dirty oceans and wrong macho male decisions create in my heart.

It is the effort to create immediate archaic images of my soul who are truely connected with what really would be important and meaningful to life on this planet rather than money, progress, power, industry, machines.

I am always in search for true love on all levels.

The German word ” Wehmut” menas something like “Melancholy”.

This exhibition follows my last four ones : “Unknown Seas” (Germany 2017),  “Echoes in Eternity” (Sydney 2016), ” Call of the Wilderness” (Germany 2015) and “Beyond Calculation” (Sydney Global Gallery 2014).

 

 

David Ma “Parallel Horizons” 26March -1 April. Meet the artists Thursday 29 March 6pm.

Even when we’re standing side by side.
We still see slightly different skylines.
We still live within Parallel Horizons.

Parallel Horizons is my first solo photography exhibition, 30 years in the making.

I’ve travelled to a lot of different countries with some amazing friends but there are so many more of you who I haven’t travelled with (yet), so in this exhibition I’m bringing a few of the sights home for you to enjoy.

Also, if you’ve ever wanted one of my photos for your walls, this is your chance to buy one! ( and if you’ve forgotten what my photos look like, visithttps://instagram.com/frostickle )

There will be food and drinks at the gallery, and at around 8:30pm we’ll head to The Soda Factory to see my favourite band Furnace And The Fundamentals 🙂

-David

P.s. The exhibition will be running from the 26th of March until the 1st of April, if you can’t make it to the big party on Thursday the 29th of March please come by another time! And message me so I can be there when you visit 🙂
