PETE HERLIHY,
Photographer
I was born and raised in the suburbs of London, England, and
have spent the rest of my life trying to stay away from such
places. My career was in outdoor education; first in the U.K.
and, from 1975, at the Boyne River Natural Science School.
Photography has been a lifelong passion, and since 1998 I have
been able to devote more time to my art work. Most of my current
photography is with medium and large format cameras on a tripod.
This simple equipment forces one to slow down and to consider
viewpoint, framing and exposure more carefully.
In the studio where there is control of the lighting, I find
that shadows are often more important than the highlights. Some
subjects ‘demand’ colour for information or impact. My choice is
usually black and white. This abstraction from reality allows
more attention to line, form and texture. In addition, I can
carry out all the activities that lead to the final print.
My current avenue of exploration is to combine my long-standing
work with landscape and the environment, with my recent work
with the nude.
My “artist's statement” is simply a wish to share something I
feel is beautiful or important; usually both.
