With the second chapter ‘Blue’\, The Light Collective initially set out to capture the immense beauty and grandeur of the largest living organism on earth and one of the great natural wonders of the world – the Great Barrier Reef. A global icon of pure(st) blue. \nHowever\, the reef has suffered catastrophic loss in recent years from recurring bleaching events caused by rising sea temperatures\, and after deeper discussion\, it seemed almost socially irresponsible not to address this. So The Light Collective present to you – BLACKANDBLUE: Coral or Coal. An artistic and symbolic exploration of the modern relationship between the extraction and consumption of old world resources (fossil fuels) and the well-being of one of our world’s great natural ecosystems. \nCan they co-exist? In this instance The Light Collective have chosen the Great Barrier Reef and adjacent coal mining industry as symbols for this larger global conversation. The degradation of the reef presents us with one of the most tangible\, topical and undeniable illustrations in the world today of the kind of impacts global warming holds for us. \nThe Light Collective don’t profess to be experts on the complex issues involved in global warming and recognise the causal elements are both multileveled and are still being refined and debated\, but either way they are passionate about the conservation of wild places and are happy to use their artistic abilities to bring awareness\, thought and inspire action towards more sustainable management of our energy needs and the protection of our unique natural ecosystems. The Light Collective’s intention is not to point fingers but to create meaningful conversation. \nCoral or Coal. How do we meet our growing energy needs and still act responsibly towards the environment?[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Light Collective” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef3d7a-d2d4″][vc_column_text]The Light Collective is a group of Australian based fine art landscape photographers who have come together to inspire each other to push the boundaries of their craft. By combining their considerable resources and abilities they are able to take on much larger and more ambitious ventures such as the RGB Australia Project. \nFirst formed in 2014\, the visual artists involved are becoming leaders in their field and are renowned for their progressive\, interpretive and artistic approach to image making. As a collective they seek to expand the boundaries of modern landscape photography by embracing the full creative capacity of the digital realm. \nA more noble purpose behind their imagery is to inspire and empower a deeper connection and relationship with this country’s incredible natural landscapes and awaken a greater sense of ownership and responsibility for their conservation. \nThe artists that make up the group are Adam Williams\, Luke Austin\, Ignacio Palacios\, Ricardo Da Cunha and Paul Hoelen. \nthelightcollective.com.au[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Seemingly immeasurable in scope\, this ancient lake literally sinks into the heart of the land well below the level of the sea and holds tenure to being the deepest land point in Australia. \nThe sun bakes its clay surface and shallow waters with such a fierce intensity that the resultant cycle of evaporation forms layer upon layer of salted crusts. Such a harsh environment can appear largely devoid of life\, yet on occasion it can be transformed by one-off local weather events or heavy monsoonal rains that travel for months down the drainage basin from as far as South East Queensland. \nWater begins to fill the shallow bays and arid inlets. Life blooms where cracked earth once stood. Richly coloured algae’s flourish\, fresh vegetation bursts forth and vast flocks of migratory birds arrive from the world over to bathe in its uniqueness. \nWe were lucky enough to experience one of these events. \nDue to its massive breadth and limited vehicle access\, taking to the air was both a logical and aesthetically beautiful choice in how best to capture and experience the lake’s many intricacies. \nWhen you take to the air its true complexity\, variety and immensity is breathtakingly revealed. Salt deposits\, eroded channels and inlets\, layers of sediment and algal blooms provide endlessly subtle variations of texture\, lines\, pattern and colour. \nThe dreamtime story of the Arabana people tells of how the lake was formed from the skin of a kangaroo where it was laid down in place after being hunted and killed. \nYou can almost imagine this as you witness the immense array of worn\, dried and wrinkled folds in the terrain. \nA strong sense of spirit seems to emanate from this land. Mysterious shapes and outlines reveal themselves as you pass over them\, speaking to you in quiet whispers of perhaps more than what can be seen. \nWe invite you to travel through this sensual visual narrative and reflect on our interpretations of the deeply captivating and somewhat mystical landscape that is Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre. \nthelightcollective.com.au[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Light Collective” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3b748-1af0″][vc_column_text]The Light Collective is a group of Australian based fine art landscape photographers who have come together to inspire each other to push the boundaries of their craft.

Red symbolises the vast desert country at the heart of this great land\, green the richly forested and mountainous areas that arise around its edges and blue the vast ocean and coastline periphery that encircles it all. The map presents a visual illustration of this concept. \nThe colours Red\, Green and Blue are iconic primary colours that hold both cultural and aesthetic significance within these landscapes and also form the bedrock of the digital photography and printing world. The Light Collective has completely embraced the digital realm and its capacity to support a wide latitude of creative expression and interpretation. \nThe larger RGB project is being approached by selecting one unique location at a time. Each area is thoroughly researched and an intensive\, targeted itinerary designed for the entire Light Collective to focus their creative vision on at any one time. \nKati Thanda–Lake Eyre is the first of such areas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
