Recently I cam across a brand new digital platform that has an all new take on generating revenue through the concept of displaying curated art digitally on peoples flat panel displays in their homes. The company is called WindowSight and they provide an opportunity for artists to share their work and get paid ‘per view’. This is a very different take to the more or less defunct stock image market and is the first company I have come across that actually offers something fair and tangible to the artist on an ongoing basis.

The company offer the opportunity for any artist to submit their work and subsequently get paid as people view it around the world in their homes. The concept of being paid per view is not new, but this particular take on it is the first I have seen that offers a revenue sharing system for artists.

Signing up as an Artist (or a user) is simple and straightforward. If you are keen to get paid for your art you can use the following link that includes 3 months premium user access for free. https://windowsight.com/invite/POLAR That gives you the ability to try it and see if it is suitable for you.

To be clear, I am not affiliated with WindowSight in any shape or form. I just think this is a really interesting and unique way to earn revenue from art and am currently in the process of trialling the platform with some of my own Antarctic photography. If you give it a try, please let me know what you think. I will do a follow up post with my own experiences once I have had more time to see how it goes.

The Captain Suites and all Mini-Suites are now sold out on my 2023 December Return to Antarctica expedition. Availability of twin-private cabins is now also limited. Twin-Share and Triple share still has some good availability.

Our ship for this expedition, the newly refitted Polar Pioneer, with a capacity of just 52 photographers means we will all be able to all land at the same time and spend hours ashore at each of our landing locations. Our choice time-slot of December 8th – December 21st 2023 is absolutely ideal for both ice and snow; whilst providing us a fantastic opportunity for a potential landing at Deception Island and a subsequent cruise through the spectacular Lemaire Channel – a landscape photographers paradise.

Antarctica is one of the most exciting destinations on the planet for both landscape and wildlife photography. The enigmatic white continent is without doubt the premiere and sought after location for Polar Photography on our planet. With its monumental icebergs, towering mountains and glaciers and plethora of wildlife it offers the intrepid photographer a unique and powerful photographic experience.

Wether you are a seasoned Antarctic veteran, or a first time traveller, this expedition is sure to offer you unparalleled and unique opportunities not offered anywhere else. You will be one of just 52 photographers on a dedicated expedition designed solely to offer the best possible photographic experiences – A return to the Great White Continent!

I had announced that my previously delayed exhibition – Frozen in Time – would subsequently be held in June of this year. Unfortunately, I have had to take the difficult decision to again delay my upcoming exhibition to an unspecified date. The exhibition was originally planned to open June 4th 2020 and run a full month in Melbourne at the Sun Room Gallery at Sun studios in South Melbourne before it travelled to NSW and then onto the United States. The ongoing pandemic caused a 12 month delay that has now ballooned out to an unspecified date in the future.

New dates will be announced as soon as they are confirmed. The exhibition will still include approximately three dozen of my photographs from both the Arctic and Antarctic captured over a period of ten years. More details to come soon…

The just published May / June 2021 issue of Wildlife Photographic magazine includes one of my photographs of a Grey Wolf on the cover as well as an article I wrote on my experiences photographing wild Wolves in Finland in Autumn. This is the fifth time I have been published in Wildlife Photographic and the fourth time I have been fortunate to score the cover shot! (the last three cover shot editions were on Pallas Cat Photography,  Arctic Fox Photography and Polar Bear Photography). I have also been published in Wildlife Photographic on my Emperor Penguin photography.

These prints are a more intimate offering designed to showcase the highest possible craftsmanship of each photograph in a smaller footprint – more suited to the average sized home. They are perfectly suited to framing and sized for the average wall space in either the home or office. Can be ordered online HERE.
