Impressions by Paul Melnyczuk, Solo Exhibition

Impressions, a solo exhibition by photographer Paul Melnyczuk, aims to capture the emotion and image that he saw in that moment through the lens of his camera, sometimes a more ‘impressionist’ approach, utilising software and intentional camera movement to capture a radically different but equally valid memory of the moment an image was captured.

Paul has been photographing his world since he picked up a camera while spending three years in Africa from 1981, he credits the lack of technology and digital images from this era, in honing his eye and use of the camera.

After his retirement from writing and photography for magazines, he began playing with the developing technology in manipulating the images to be a truer representation of what he saw in his mind.

This collection of works started in Scotland during the Covid Lockdowns when started taking landscapes and when he moved from Scotland to Australia in 2024 he continued to capture his new surroundings as he explored Australia from Bryon Bay, Mission Beach to Mt Macedon and more.

Come and explore the last 6 years of Paul’s journeys and the images that he saw and recreated through his lens.
