Proudly showcasing a curated collection of some of today's most talented modern artists. Noosa Heads, QLD | Richmond, VIC | Bangalow, NSW
Open 7 Days

‘Visuddharaca ’Philip Ayres has been at the forefront of Australian photography for over 40 years, as a result of being given his first ‘box brownie’ camera at the age of 3 or 4 years old. Fortunately this much acclaimed and award winning photographer chose Noosa for his ‘signature’ gallery, which now showcases his breathtaking fine art photography featuring Australiana landscape themed images in

exclusive handcrafted frames made of American oak which are French polished to achieve the unique range of colours. The way Philip has captured the soul of the Australian landscape is truly remarkable. He has actually portrayed the ancient peace of this country with its all-pervading ochre rocks and deep blue skies. Having spent years in the outback, only employing the traditional technique of film photography with large landscape cameras, he has personally been involved in every stage of the creation of these magnificent collectors’ edition prints and wonderful frames. By maintaining the honesty and integrity of the image, which is taken at a point in time and in a particular location rather than being digitally enhanced, is what makes it of true value to the discerning collector for a very long time to come, to be enjoyed now and as an heirloom. What you will find when you first walk into the Gallery is the culture and spirituality that expresses itself within the photographs. ‘Visuddhacara’ Philip Ayres was also a Buddhist monk for nearly 15 years in Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Blue Mountains in NSW and his photographic work succeeds in crossing cultural boundaries with influences from both Australian and Eastern cultures, while emphasizing the universal laws of time and space
