Rewa Rendall
Blown from the alluvial soils of Inch Clutha and raised on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Hong Kong, Rewa’s desire for a unique perspective has taken her beyond the frame and into the remote landscapes of Australia, New Zealand, Europe and across the Southern Ocean to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Touched by the magic of her father developing his own photographs, Rewa has gone back to the beginning of Photography. She is tracing the footsteps of pioneers Frank Hurley and Herbert Ponting, the techniques and resilience needed to take the next frame.
Photography is a language of light, one that allows the silent desire lines of our lives to have their stories illuminated over and over.
Rewa Rendall has been chasing light for the past 40 years. Using panoramic and stereo analogue equipment. Rewa’s tool kit now expands beyond the digital and celluloid to include a bellows camera and glass plate negatives as she explores what is within the lucent landscape of the frame.
