Alex Bond’s photography is inspired by the landscape, especially where he lives in Western Australia. He has been photographing and publishing Australian landscape images since 1989. “I go for long walks in the bush or along the coast with my folding field camera, a few sheets of film, a tripod and sometimes a tent and food. I like to take my time to absorb the environment, to rediscover and reconnect. My direct involvement with the materials and technique for making an expressive photographic print is of importance to me, so I continue to develop my own films and hand print all my black and white silver gelatin prints in my darkroom.”
