Wanderings

In 2025, I spent two months in Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia, and a quick tour through parts of France. For a European viewer, the locations might have little connection with each other, but from my Australian perspective, they all share the romance of the European Renaissance and Baroque periods. Of course, many of the locations pre-date the Renaissance or have nothing to do with the Baroque, but that’s not the point. This is not a history textbook, it’s a series of my impressions and my interpretations. 

I’ve treated and graded the images to acknowledge these influences. Many of the images have textural overlays, again referencing the Renaissance and Baroque artworks I love. When you see these paintings today, there is invariably a patina of age in the paint and the colour – which I have tried to reflect in these photographs.

A part of the Portfolio Series, the ebook has been created for photographers who want to grow their own photography. Once we understand the basics of using a camera, further improvements come from finding and using ideas. And ideas are learned by viewing and analysing the work of other photographers and artists. The Portfolio Series is curated and designed to showcase not only Peter's final edits, but to share with you how he has explored composition, light, colour and storytelling within the context of his subject. 

Inside each ebook, you’ll find 100 pages full of stunning, high quality reproductions and enlargements, paired with Peter's insights into how the images were conceived and executed. Think of them as visual masterclasses - easy to browse, rich with ideas and built to spark your creativity whenever you need some extra inspiration.

Technical exposure information is provided for most photos and the page design has been formatted to optimise the images for your device's screen. High quality reproduction, stunning images - this is an excellent resource for photographers of all levels.

If you're looking to deepen your understanding of photography while enjoying a collection of award-winning photographs, explore our Portfolio Series. They’re crafted to help you see the world differently - and to develop your own style and approach to photography.

The Portfolio Series can be read in the same way as a Better Photography magazine subscription, either online on this website or you can download the PDF for storage and viewing on your computer, tablet or personal device.

Access to the ebook is immediate after payment and like all our products, we offer a money-back guarantee if the ebook does not meet your expectations.
