An avid traveler, photography Illan Wittenberg’s exhibition ‘Scapes’ presents an insight to an artistic eye of moments around the world. Seems more significant at this time as we all sit safely in New Zealand and have memories or dreams of overseas travel.
In this series of remarkable and dramatic landscapes, Ilan Wittenberg, acknowledged by being Auckland Photographer of the Year three times, explores the timeless nature of unique locations. As Ilan captures unique scapes, he uses sepia tones, which emulates analogue lithographic techniques.
Wittenberg’s distinct and compelling monochromatic style creates strong images which inspire the imagination and provoke conscious consideration. Through this portfolio of striking photographs, Wittenberg presents his unique perspective of the world using a clear narrative style.
These images of beautiful scenery are designed to evoke a desire to visit foreign places and experience their unique atmosphere.
