   Mark Adams: 

   Mark Adams is one of New Zealand’s foremost documentary photographers, with over thirty years engagement in our colonial and pre-colonial histories. His first journey to Dusky Bay in 1995 launched his exploration of James Cook’s landing sites. His portrayal of these locations responds to the vision of painter William Hodges who was present on the second of Cook’s voyages. Adams made further expeditions to Dusky Sound in 1997 and 1998, more recently returning in May 2014.

   Mark Adams is my favourite choice for the two room gallery.
   
   – the ideas the photographer is working with:
   
   Capturing the amazing Dusky Sounds using large format film. He recorded the 11 images over a period of time. This breath taking photography captures the story of Cook's voyage with detail and depth. When looking at the images one could be in the Dusky Sounds experiencing the stillness and beauty. Leaving one with an amazing understanding and beauty of the Dusky Sounds. Mark Adams idea was to make an impression that is lasting and memorable to all who view the portraits. 
   
   – the presentation of the work:
   360 panorama, eleven metre long panorama.
   
   11 panels 1200 x 1000mm each 
   
   
   Open framing the highest quality products used to capture the quality of each image. Di bond material used for the mounting of the images very elegant finish.
   
   
   The panels are not even top to bottom. They are lined up forming a panorama. The panels are side by side to give one the illusion of a single panorama.
   
   The images were taken over a period of time. The colours do not all look the same. All the photographs were taken in colour.
   
   – technical aspects of the work:
   Wide Depth of Field. A Large Format Camera was used by Mark Adams.This gave Mark the  ability to reproduce stunningly sharp images. Mark Adams sat on a rock taking the photos.
