LONDON CITY LOOKING SOUTH – HOWARD KINGSNORTH

Looking South from Broadgate Tower, Howard has accentuated the glass, concrete and steel that is the City of London. Shot in 2011.

NIAGARA RIVER – DARWIN WIGGETT

This calming photograph of the Niagara River is a world away from the exhilarating force and energy of the river iconic waterfall. In many ways, this image stands as an elegant contrast to iconic images of the Falls.

URSULA ANDRESS ON A BEACH NEAR ROME – PETER BASCH

A very rare original vintage double-weight photo of Ursula Andress “flying” on the beach near Rome in the late 50s, by acclaimed photographer Peter Basch. The shot is taken at ground level to give an animated aspect to the image.

WESTMINSTER – JASPER DALGLIESH

Iconic London. Big Ben from Westminster Tube Station.

VENETIAN PASSAGES – HAMISH ROOTS

A candid snapshot of Venice seen through a set of classical arches, this black and white photo lends a sense of history to the place. Root has spent much time in Venice, focusing on its architectural beauty.

LOS ANGELES DREAM – PAUL MELLIA

A lover of all things Americana, Paul would often admire these magnificent cars driving past his studio in Hollywood. He befriended many of the owners of these amazing machines, who in turn commissioned him to recreate them on canvas.

WHITE FEATHERS CRUISING IN VENICE – HELMUT NEWTON

‘White feathers cruising’ is taken in a rare location for Newton: Venice. While its romanticism was a source of great inspiration for Newton, he only shot in the city on a handful of occasions, here for Queen Magazine in 1966 with clothes by Femme 90- an avant-garde designer at the time. Venice appealed to Newton for its water and elegance of the vaporetto. Here, the model’s clothing sprays in the wind, leaving her enigmatically anonymous.

CAPE TOWN IS WHERE MY FIRST GROWTH BEGAN – JOHN THORNTON

The inspiration for this photograph started in Cape Town where I lived, surfed and photographed in the 60s, having fled Australia to prevent being in conscripted and sent to Vietnam, I saw a tiny clump of grass struggling to grow and survive in a crack in the pavement. I made a decision to visit London, as all Australians must do; I was overwhelmed by London yet totally fascinated by what it had to offer.

THE AMERICAN FALLS – DARWIN WIGGETT

The American Falls is one of three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls. Unlike the much larger Horseshoe Falls, of which two-thirds of the falls is located in Ontario, Canada, and one-third in the state of New York, the American Falls is entirely within the United States.

BEIT YANAI BEACH – TAL PAZ-FRIDMAN

The remains of an old pier on the beach near Beit Yanai, are a silent reminder of the struggles of past years. But, when day gives way to night, there is a special in-between time when the pier and the sea unite in harmony, and the old pier sheds its history and becomes part of the sea almost as if it has grown out of it.
