Fitzgerald Photo Imaging is thrilled to introduce a vibrant new collection, Images of India, from Perth photographer Trish Ainslie. Known for her work throughout Australia and around the world, Trish has a knack for capturing the beauty in everyday life. Looking at her photographs allows the viewer an immediate sense of place.
The mood and atmosphere of each shot is captured so effectively you forget you’re looking at a printed image. Prepare to be transported to a world very different from the one we inhabit in Western Australia. Have a look at the new Images of India website and be stunned at the intense colour, artful composition and uncommon beauty of Trish’s work.
Once you’ve seen the collection, you’re going to want one of these masterful prints in your home or office. Superior quality, large format prints are now available on a selection of the finest surfaces – providing vivid, pure colour with exceptional detail. Prints are handled exclusively by Fitzgerald Photo Imaging’s highly skilled technicians who are passionate about providing a professional product and service.

In celebration of Trish Ainslie’s amazing achievement with her latest gallery collection,
Images of India, Fitzgerald Photo Imaging is sponsoring a contest awarding the winner a 30x45 inch fine art canvas print from her latest work.

As expected, the "Breakout at the Breakwater" event provided valuable and entertaining insight into the world of four of Australia’s most respected photographers. It’s no wonder the event was a sellout.
All attendees agreed that it was a great way to spend a day and collect some practical advice along the way. Fitzgerald Photo Imaging was there and we’ve posted photos on our Facebook page.
Craig Kinder of f22 photography recently provided Fitzgerald Photo Imaging with an exciting job. Printing a massive canvas to hang in The Soda Sun Lounge, the 1996 photo of Cottesloe Beach has everyone in the North Beach venue talking about photography.
Using a Nikon camera with a 17mm lens and 35mm infrared film to get the shot, Craig trusted us to print the canvas that dominates an entire wall.
If you’re interested seeing the original, uncropped image you can find it in Book 3 of the Fuji ACMP Australian Photographers collection.
