Bruce Long

Bruce Long is an artist, photographer and creativity coach from Australia, currently based in Germany.

His website is full of amazing and wonderful work. Photography, photo based, painting and graphic is all to be found there.

I love his photographic series Heights and Depths, fascinating and captivating portraits of people.

You want to find out what happened to them, what are they thinking of, what goes on in their mind. It all stays a secret though and you have to create your own thoughts about them.

But there is so much more on his site which is worth a close look.

Also make sure to read his section about coaching. Very interesting and perfect for someone who wants to take the next step forward.

All the images below are from the series Heights and Depths

Greater Lakes

My newest series Greater Lakes is now online on my website. I am very happy with this body of work from my second home Australia.

Here is the artist statement for Greater Lakes:

There is an area in Australia called the Great Lakes, on lands traditionally owned by the Worimi and Biripi
nations and presently centred around the twin townships of Forster and Tuncurry. When I went there for the first time in 2004, I fell in love with it, it is my second home, the place where my parents-in-law live.
Today it is a paradise for people who are retired and want to live the best life they can imagine. Most of the year it is a very quiet, peaceful little place, situated in nature's paradise, with dream like white sandy beaches and the big salt water lakes, home of many wildlife animals, beautiful colorful birds and native australian plants. The biggest decision is walking near the lake or walking near the beach. The retired people live their peaceful life and not much in the way of nightlife exists in this part of world.
Then there is the other part of year, during the summer, when it is a popular place for people from Sydney and other parts of Australia to spend their holidays. Every available space is filled with young people with their noise and energy, they take over and you are suddenly in a different world. As soon as the holidays are over, the area is again quiet and peaceful.
This is a portrait of the area I love and enjoy whenever I am there.
