Leanne McPhee is an Australian fine art photographer known for her investigations into identity in living and still life forms. Her work explores how the character inherent in different forms can be altered or supported by interactions with people, objects and the built and natural environments.

Leanne has demonstrated expertise in a variety of alternative photographic processes, especially chrysotype (gold) and salted paper printing, and maintains ongoing practice to extend her knowledge and skills into new (and many old) area of photographic art.

She is a regular contributor to National and International symposia, hands-on workshops and has published both technical and creative works. Leanne is the author of Chrysotype: A Contemporary Guide to Photographic Printing in Gold (Routledge/Focal Press).

Leanne’s work is held in both public and private collections in Australia, China, Italy and the United States of America. She holds a Diploma of Photo Imaging from the Centre for Creative Photography and a Master of Arts Degree from the Flinders University of South Australia.

“These photographic printing processes have become an integral part of my photography – a way to explore their history, convey my photographic concept and experiment.”
