| Meer info | Charging into electrical storms, dangling over thundering waterfalls, crawling around crocodile infested swamps, wading into flooded streams, clambering up rocky escarpments. It was all in a day’s work for photographer Peter Jarver. So was the art of waiting. Hours. Days. Months. Sometimes years. The Adelaide-born son of Estonian parents, Peter turned his fascination with stormy weather into a career when he swapped an electrical engineering degree for a camera and moved to Darwin – home of some of the world’s biggest electrical storms. In the dead of night and in torrential downpours, he would be out chasing some of the 40,000 lightning flashes that split Darwin’s brooding wet season skies each year. Those giant tentacles of electricity and the menacing skyscapes they illuminated became his hallmark. It was during this period he developed an intense interest in the beautiful and unique thunderstorm activity for which this area is renowned worldwide. Not many photographers begin their careers with sky-scapes, but after years of passionate photography, he decided to expand these talents into landscape photography. Once “nibbled” by the lightning he was trying to photograph, Peter said he had taken so many lightning shots, he could almost feel when a bolt was about to strike. A fervent conservationist his crystal sharp images – mostly shot in large format with a view camera and tripod – added a new and personal perspective to an old landscape format. His indulgence of ripe and fruity colours, combined with simple but dramatic composition, invoked an emotional response few could resist. A completely self-taught photographer, Peter Jarver’s natural talent is complimented by his enthusiasm for the great Australian landscape. Long an advocate for the preservation of our natural heritage and his spiritual love of the land, his images are captured in a way few photographers can. The measure of a great artist is not just the impact of a few images but the perception generated by a body of work. Peter traveled Australia for more than 20 years documenting this continent. He was passionate about this land and its fragile environment. He was acutely aware of the importance of the flora and fauna to the Australian experience and the interaction of man and the environment. It is true to say that Peter Jarver’s body of work is a valuable archive of this country, one that can now be shared by every Australian. Peter Jarver passed away on 24th April 2003 aged 49 years. |
