Peter Ranyard's bio for River

Peter Ranyard is a formally trained commercial photographer, fine artist and educator who has maintained a professional arts practice for more than 20 years. He has had extensive experience collaborating on projects in the fine art, corporate, institutional and private sectors in Australia and overseas as well as being a photography teacher and administrator.

“Photographer and historian alike are storytellers who must choose what to include and what to leave out, how close to stand to their subjects, how to frame their tales.”
Martha A. Sandweiss

Most recently Peter has had a solo exhibition Coast at Canberra Institute of Technology in 2012, a two-person exhibition Material Substance and the Lightness of Touch with the ceramicist Sarit Cohen at Form Gallery in 2013, Beneath the Surface at M16 Artspace in 2014 and Impermanence at the Firestation Gallery (Armadale Melbourne) in August 2015. Currently, the solo exhibition River, showing at Huw Davies Gallery at Photoaccess in September 2016 comprises 28 small, richly toned prints. In November 2016 Peter is the curator and member of the exhibition Memoria Platea to be held at M16 Artspace.

Peter has undertaken numerous fine art and commercial commissions and has previously been selected to be included in the Communication Arts Photography Annual.

“The articulate audible voice of the past when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.”
Thomas Carlyle
