Environmental Portraiture »

The legacy of a great man
Arnold Newman died last year. So why should anyone care?
Because Arnold Newman was a master photographer and a pioneer. He developed a style of photography called “environmental portraiture” which basically got rid of the studio. In an era when it was customary to pose a person in a chair in front of a bland backdrop, Newman posed his subjects in their own environments: Stravinsky at his piano, John F. Kennedy on the White House lawn, Georgia O’Keefe in front of a blank canvas topped by a cattle skull.
I’d like to pay tribute to Arnold Newman with this new release from my stock library...

Coverage
Photographing the entirety of Australia’s nature is Esther Beaton’s lifelong commitment. We may not have it all yet—but what we do have is deep coverage. Selected important subjects like possums and gliders, rock wallabies and other marsupials, herbs and native plants, spiders, scientists, deserts and forests, are some of the best you’ll find. See alphabetical subject list.
Price Point
The great advantage of working with a small library, rather than an international giant, is ... we’re flexible. We have RRPs, certainly. In most cases, this is what you’ll pay (See some sample price lists). But we’re negotiable. If you come to us with a special need or offer, for example, multiple uses, we’re happy to help out.
Captions
Esther Beaton’s photos reflect thirty years of working side by side with ecologists, biologists, botanists, zoologists and other specialists and professionals. If you want informed and accurate captions, come to EBWP.
Artistic
The most technically accurate, well-captioned photo is unpublishable unless it also has high aesthetics. Esther’s photos are, to put it simply, beautiful. Some apparently simple photos have taken her painstaking hours to produce. She sets a high priority in making the most of a subject through meticulous composition and flawless lighting.
In Action
Photos may be licensed for just about anything: magazines, books, CD covers, museum displays, government brochures, retail posters, greeting cards, calendars and newspaper ads are just a few examples. You can see how some recent clients have made use of Esther’s eye-catching photos On The Beaton Track and in Features.
