One of seventy four architectural photographs exploring the northern city of of Launceston in my project Launceston Landmarks. Hardcover book and limited edition prints available via my website http://www.tryanphotos.com/store

Launceston has a rich and distinctive built environment, and it’s this unique character and ambience that’s provided me with profound inspiration in photographing the city.

Launceston Landmarks is the culmination of countless walks exploring and photographing Tasmania’s putative northern capital. After more than two decades of being inquisitive, hundreds of walks throughout the city, countless experimentation, failures and successes, I have come to know Launceston, through the lens of my camera, as though it were my best friend.

This impressive industrial building takes up a large complex within the confines of the central business district. This entire precinct, by the North Esk river which would have once been an important trade route for goods provides a rich tapestry of architecture from all periods of design reflecting the areas industrial heritage. Its amazing the flour mill is still being used today, in many other cities these would have long been converted into other uses. Watching the flour trucks come in whilst making photos over the years and hear in the sounds of Boags Brewery behind me really evoke the industrial ambiance of this precinct.
