Craig Potton has become one of New
Zealand’s most distinguished landscape photographers, famous for his moody,
often dramatic images that signal a deeply felt connection with the wild places
of New Zealand. New Zealand’s Wild Places contains not only a
selection of his iconic landscape images, but also some images taken while
making his two highly successful TV series, ‘Rivers’ and ‘Wild Coasts’.
Complementing the format of these programmes, New Zealand’s Wild Places
has been structured thematically, with sections covering rivers and lakes, the
coast, forests and mountains.
Craig rose to prominence as a photographer in the late 1980s,
with a distinct and original view of the landscape of New Zealand. As a
photographer with little interest in a sentimentalised view of the land, he
pursued a less compromising and more muscular vision that sought to convey this
country’s remarkable landscape in a real light. Craig was awarded the MNZM
earlier this year for his photography and conservation work.
