Grenville Turner is at home whether he is in the Strezlecki, the Simpson or the Gibson Deserts; on the shores of Lake Eyre; or in the Flinders Ranges, the Kimberley or Sturt’s Stony Desert … and he has captured them all.

His images are the result of a lifetime spent recording the Australian continent and way of life. Using a keen eye and talent for composition and light, he has captured moments in the Australian story that can never again be told.

Grenville has worked behind the camera for more than 30 years and is regarded as one of Australia’s leading landscape and documentary photographers.

Grenville’s knowledge of both film and digital formats has provided him a unique platform for teaching both formats. Aside from his own workshops and photographic tours, he regularly conducts specialised courses and photographic retreats for Sydney University and Charles Sturt University, at both the Wagga Wagga and Bathurst campuses.

His work has been exhibited throughout Australia, Europe and the United States. His exhibition on the Tanami Desert, Centred in the Earth, toured both Australia and Italy. One of his images - Women’s Dreaming - hangs in the office of former President Clinton.

Grenville has published or contributed to many books, including Akubra is Australian for Hat, Australia Take a Bow, Wildlight, Across the Top, Sydney, and in 2003 Bali -Paradise Rediscovered. Most recently he has completed a new edition of Akubra Is Australian For Hat, which will be published in May 2009.

He has worked with the leading international advertising agencies, and contributed to National Geographic, Time, Fortune, Esquire, Stern, Conde Nast’s Traveller, Connoisseur, Vogue Living, Australian Geographic and Geo.

Many of Grenville’s works are included in many corporate collections both in Australia and overseas, as well as in major art galleries across Australia, including the National Gallery.
