Story By Jessica Owers
Richard Green has the means to go where few men have gone before him, and that is a very useful thing for a photographer. Touching his EC 135 helicopter down amid the vast, relentless outcrops of the Kimberleys, or the lonely heights of a moody Tasmanian landscape, he has strayed right into a photographer’s dream, and his work reflects that very sublime privilege. Richard began photographing the natural environment more than 40 years ago. An early retiree from information technology and academic research, he frequents areas such as the Gulf Country, Arnhem Land and the central deserts to capture exposed wilderness untouched by human influence. As a result of his work and his travels, he has developed a lasting belief in the preservation of the wild environment.
