Rewa Rendall – liquid landscapes
Discover Antarctica's changing liquid landscapes with photographer Rewa Rendall; join our visual expedition to this isolated, threatened continent.
Our Winter Talks Series continues on Tuesday 11 July with photographer Rewa Rendall, whose life-long dream of visiting the Antarctic was realised aboard the expedition sailing vessel Evohe.
Rewa joined a team of 12 crew, explorers, climbers and mountaineers on the Adventure Consultants expedition in 2006, sailing across the Drake Passage and exploring the Antarctic Peninsula.
Having been trained in traditional film photography, she chose two cameras to join her on the month-long adventure: the compact Hasselblad XPan for panoramic shots and a vintage Russian Stereo Realist for 3D images “that draw you in and make you feel as if you are there”.
“Both cameras were small and sturdy enough to endure the rigorous journey aboard Evohe and to cater to the extreme alpine conditions encountered on the Peninsula,” Rendall says.
“The untamed, raw power of nature can make us forget how vulnerable she is. The images captured on the expedition represent the fragility of our planet; her stunning yet sensitive side."
“We have come to a tipping point and the landscapes shown in these images will soon be part of history - liquid landscapes that will soon disappear.”
