About us

Photography has always been seen as a means of recording what is really there and has quickly taken over this role from painting. Indeed photographers took to this task with gusto and a darkroom full of tricks that enabled them to manipulate their images of reality. The latest innovation in photographic manipulation is based in computer technology. Which enables the image to be totally transformed or merely modified, like any medium of representation.

However, photography is limited by its own nature, by the skill and creativity of the photographer, and by an artificial division between ‘commercial’ and art photography, even though the division usually reflects the use made of an image and not the image itself.

The best Photography is photography that can be looked at without knowing why the image was created. And the best test of any image, painting, drawing or photography- is whether or not the viewer can discover new things in the depths of the artists creativity, the more they peer into it. In order to achieve this the photographer has to bring together many designs and technical skills.

Lightspeed Photography manages to do this in a very subtle way. Relying primarily on simple design elements, especially the golden mean. Lightspeed Photography creates simple images that have depth, and bear repeated viewing

Lightspeed Photography has taken advantage of digital imaging techniques in their photographs, using them to create extra depth to compliment the elegantly simple designs.

Greg Thompson has worked over seas and all round Australia, which has influenced the way he looks through the lens at the world, this is reflected through his astonishing work.
