about Peter Dombrovskis 1945 - 1996 - Master Landscape Photographer

Peter Dombrovskis was born in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1945 of Latvian parents. He emigrated to Australia in 1950 with his mother Adele and started taking photographs in the 1960's. He was strongly influenced by Lithuanian-Australian pioneer, conservationist and photographer Olegas Truchanas, who became a father figure to him. He was equally influenced by landscape photographers of mid-century America such as Ansel Adams, Edward and Brett Weston and Eliot Porter.

In February 2003, Peter Dombrovskis was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, now in St Lious Murori, United States of America. Peter is the first Australian to be accorded this honour, and one of only 58 people to be inducted over the 200 or so years of the history of photography. Peter's work is also represented in the collections of the National Library, National Gallery of Australia, Australian Heritage Commission, National Gallery of Victoria, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, the Wilderness Gallery and many private collections.

Some of Peter's photographs have been instrumental in the conservation of various Tasmanian wild places including the prevention of the damming of the Franklin River. Peter's works have been published over 35 years in the form of books, calendars. cards and posters, and his wife Liz continued publishing until July 2009.

Peter's photography has now moved to a new phase of public access. The National Library of Australia has acquired the archive of Peter's transparencies so that future generations may view and enjoy his photography.

On 28th March 1996, Peter died while photographing in the Western Arthur Range in southwest Tasmania. He is survived by his second wife, five children and two step-children.

All Peter's photographs were taken with a large format Linhof Master Technika 5 x 4 inch flatbed field camera. He used three lenses; a 90mm Nikkor F4.5, a 150mm Schneider Symar-S (standard lens), and a 300mm Nikkor MF9. He sometimes used a polarizing filter.

Full Gamut deserve 5 plus stars. They understood my photo printing needs when another printing “service” did not care. Customer service second to none.

Christine

I was told by many people to use full gamut for the best quality prints and professional service. I can say they were all right, the expert advice made it easy to decide which paper and size and were happy to take the time to explain differences in various products. I can see myself using their services again in the future.

Paul

Full Gamut was absolutely fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful, the quality of reproduction was great, and the speed with which they did the job was exactly what was needed. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Kerri

Full Gamut were recently involved in printing a fine art series for bruny NORTH. The print quality was absolutely excellent as was their general artisan approach to the job, their amazing attention to detail and genuine interest in the process and outcome was very appreciated. It was such a joy to work with the whole team at Full Gamut, we will be seeing a lot of them in the future!

This print type is sometimes refered to as Giclée printing.The term "giclée" is derived from the French word "gicleur," meaning "to spray," which refers to the process of tiny ink droplets being sprayed onto the printing surface. This process results in prints with exceptional color accuracy, detail, and longevity, making them a popular choice for fine art reproductions.
