The fine art landscape photography by Australian master photographer Peter Lik captures the brilliant colors and spiritual terrain in nature. View these limited edition nature photographs in 14 art galleries in Hawaii, Florida,and New York.
Peter Lik sees nature through different eyes—those which haven’t been distracted by the modern world. He is often described as the most important landscape photographer alive—a distinction the artist sidesteps earnestly, detached from such conventions. For Lik, there was never a choice in the matter—at a very young age, photography found him. His innate talent brought him to places that few humans have seen, documenting the rugged outback of his native Australia, while establishing his early bond Nature—the only place he truly finds peace.
Lik soon received accolades for his vast panoramic landscape photographs, which captured the brilliant colors and elegant, spiritual terrain in nature. These works of art would ultimately earn him the highest award, given to him by his peers—the Master of Photography. His myriad successes in Australia propelled him into broader horizons and brought him to the Americas. Having visited exotic locations all over the globe, seeing the United States for the first time changed him indelibly. Sometimes it takes a foreigner to recognize the sheer, singular beauty of what nature has bestowed. Lik is driven by an extraordinary passion that few men possess—at its core is lack of time, a finite number of sun rises and sunsets. His mantra: one shot. He lives it every day of his life.
His quest for the perfect shot is unending. He travels the globe, driven by a vigorous determination to capture the beauty that he sees and his profound respect for nature. And, as Mother Nature herself—he’s still unpredictable. In 1997 Lik entered the competitive world of publishing with a focus on fine art photography—and Lik Publishing was born. His first large format book “Australia—Images of a Timeless Land” is a stunning showcase of Lik’s most emotive images. Lik has since gone on to publish three additional coffeelong with his prized “Big Book” which features amazing photography from the farthest reaches of the globe. These books have collectively reached over one million sold, worldwide.
The success of his publishing company provided Peter with the platform to fulfill a lifelong dream of opening his own fine art photography galleries, selling limited editions of his signature landscape panoramic shots. He opened his first gallery in his hometown of Cairns and, which was followed by the opening of another three galleries throughout Australia. Lik was then drawn to the United States, by her incomparable natural beauty; he has since opened galleries from New York City to the and the white sands of Hawaii. And, he has searched nearly every stretch of landscape in between. If you get out there to some of those far off places—sometime around dawn or dusk—you might just witness Lik framing his one shot.
