In 2011 Magnum photographer Martin Parr, as a special project for FotoFreo, set out to photograph three Western Australian port cities, Fremantle, Port Hedland and Broome. Each town was a unique setting for a photographer famed for his images of British seaside culture in the publication Last Resort. Using his unmistakably intimate and satirical style, Parr went about photographing Australian clichés, full of saturated colours and flash photography. The resulting photographs, published here for the first time, are an invaluable collection from this world-renowned British photographer.
In Martin’s own words, “No Worries. This is a phrase that seems to encapsulate the rather delightful, laid back approach that the West Australians adopt. I quickly noticed that nearly everyone I met in Broome and Port Hedland in particular used this phrase, and once observed the title was a done deal.”

Photography and Landscape
By
Rod Giblett and
Juha Tolonen Published: March 2012 by Intellect
Paperback with 142 pages, 230 x 230 Format
ISBN: 9781841504728
Photography and Landscape is a unique collaboration between a writer about photography and a landscape photographer that provides a new critical account of landscape photography, which focuses on the settler societies of the United States and Australia. Beginning with the frontier days of the American West, the subsequent century-long popularity of landscape photography is exemplified by images from Carleton Watkins to Ansel Adams, the New Topographics to Richard Misrach, all of whose works are considered here.
Along with discussions of other contemporary photographers, this illustrated volume demonstrates the influence of settler societies on landscape photography, in which photographers captured the fascination with and the appeal of the land and its expense.
The latest installment in Intellect’s Critical Photography series, Photography and Landscape, is a visually striking introduction to one of the most important modes of photography.
The book, Photography and Landscape will be launched at FotoFreo on Saturday, March 17 between 4.00 - 5.00 pm at the Western Australian Maritime Museum on Victoria Quay
Price: AUS$45 (£29.95)
