New Zealand Landscapes Ian Robbins

New Zealand landscape photography reconfigured, laced with irony, panoramas of rubble, piles of granite stones, sluice canyons created from the residue of past mining activities. Mountain ranges forged over millions of years of geological activities are sidelined and marginalised by the topographical by-products of human activity; these are transient vistas.

These images are large in scale, detail and colour; they are seductively pictorial. The circumstances of taking of the photographs is based to a large extent on chance. I travel light, usually by bicycle and operate in the field in a relatively simplistic manner. I enjoy looking sideways at the world and shoot from the hip.
