I was a keen photographer from an early age, but didn't turn professional until I embarked on a bicycle expedition of the
South Island, completely laden with camera equipment! I spent many years travelling the world as a photographer on cruise ships, returning home to New Zealand in 2003, when I began experimenting with images on canvas. My love of botany prompted me to experiment with macro images of flora, which gave rise to my photo art range, introduced in 2004.
My first exhibition was held at "The Art Bungalow" in Kerikeri, September 2004, where Art Critic Larry Jenkins wrote: "It's a fusion of art and high-tech in a very intimate way, and Latham is a master photographer."
These artworks are produced using digital imaging processes and pigment inks, printed onto acid-free U.V. canvas and a U.V. protective coating applied to enhance the print's inherent stability. These processes are state of the art and the materials used are the highest quality available. To clean, carefully use a soft damp cloth, avoiding any excessive pressure.
"Print Permanence Ratings" (years before noticeable fading and or changes in colour balance occur) were published in April 2007 by the Wilhelm Research Institute, rating the "Print Permanence" of the processes and materials used to produce these prints to be greater than 250 years.

I personally print and frame all artworks and each piece is individually numbered and certified on the reverse. Print sizes can be adjusted and colours manipulated to suit your décor, or even customized for outdoors.
Editions vary in number so please click on the thumbnail images in this web site for details, sizes and prices. Private commissions are welcomed and I would be happy to consult with you and discuss any projects. Please contact me for more details.
Quote from the "Art Business Today": "The impact of digital technology on the fine art industry is as important a breakthrough as photography was in the 19th century."
