Henty House - Brutalism in Launceston


I love Henty House! It has served as one of my main inspirations over the years and I am always finding new perspectives and interpretations in which to make photographs of this iconic building.  The entire precinct in which Henty House stands, known as Civic Square is about to undergo major redevelopment.  This will be a major change and bring to an end of an era to the original fabric of the precinct since it was developed in the latter part of the 20th Century.  Check it out while you can!

Queensland Gold Coast Modernism



This image was taken as part of a wonderful photographic roadtrip throughout Victoria, New South Wales, A.C.T and Queensland to document 20th Century architecture. Any guess as to where this image was taken? Check out the entire project over on my website http://www.tryanphotos.com/Projects/Ausmodern/Index

Staircases from the 20th Century Project


Here is another preview from my project "Staircases from the 20th Century". I've walked up and down so many stairs over the years to photograph this overlooked part of our built history. I look foward to bringing you the project soon!

Come with me on a photographic journey as I undertake a massive project documenting Tasmanian 20th Century architecture & design. I've just redesigned the layout for this project on my website so now you can search by style (residential/commercial/industrial/civic/typeface/stairs/details etc). At the moment I have over 1000 images that make up this collection on my website, more to come as I add them. Check it out here: http://www.tryanphotos.com/Projects/Tasmania/Index
