On the Road, was a 2023 exhibition that examined the features characterising Australia's outback roads; from the terrain they cut through, to land use, structures, and what people do in these public spaces while on long drives, there are many lite sides but also the tragic of accidents. The images were captured on a 6x17cm panorama film camera; placing the subject centre and frame allowing the vastness of the Australian landscape to wash around them.

Swoosh was part of this exhibition but in a very different style. These were taken on a digital camera and I experimented with motion; following subjects as they moved around the camera to create abstract images.

​Punctuating these images is a series of signs, marking 100km to the next town. Click the images below to see examples from each section.

I am preparing two books from the exhibition, if you're interested in buying a copy please email me at lou.petho@me.com.
