Murray Fredericks
2021plains of central Australia, or interpreting contemporary urban
creations of Australia's leading architects and designers, his bold and
seamless compositions stand testament to a unique vision. Murray's skills lie in photographing subjects that are too big to light
using conventional studio lighting. By using ambient light the resulting
imagery is better than could ever be achieved by employing artificial
lighting. This doesn't mean that no lights are used, it means that the
subjects are interpreted in their optimum state then photographic
lighting is used only to enhance: to subtly but powerfully tell the
story.
Murray's clients include Mirvac, Ivy, Establishment Sydney, Belle
Magazine, Elle Décor Italy, Vogue Living Magazine, Bulgari Hotels and
Resorts, Intercontinental, Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, Monument Magazine,
and Australian Architectural Review. Murray's methods in the commercial sphere have grown out of
techniques used in the production of his internationally acclaimed art
works. Murray's first solo show at Hamilton's Gallery London sold out as
did his work at Paris Photo 06 at The Louvre.

Murray Fredericks
SALT is the story of award winning and internationally renowned photographer, Murray Fredericks on his annual solo pilgrimage to the heart of Lake Eyre in the remote north corner of South Australia. It is a piece on the personal journey of the artist, the creative process and the landscape itself. Alone on the most featureless landscape on earth, Murray's personal video diary captures the beauty of this bleak, empty and desolate environment - and provides the catalyst for an unexpected personal transformation. Told with subtlety, care and gentle dry humor, SALT is the story of what emanates from emptiness. By combining the breathtaking imagery of this surreal landscape with the hauntingly delicate sounds of Aajinta's "Harmonic Sphere's, it attempts to identify what lies beneath the surface of our reality and how 'something' can be produced from 'nothing'. SALT interweaves Murray's sublime pictures...
