Connection by photographer Dani Watson investigates the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world.

Through a nuanced exploration of the motivations behind her engagement with landscape photography, Dani Watson challenges conventional perspectives and advocates for a re-evaluation of how we perceive and interact with our environment.

This exhibition redefines the parameters of photographic practice, encouraging viewers to reconsider the evolving dynamics between humans and their surroundings, especially as portrayed through the lens of evolving photographic technologies.

Connection is a solo exhibition that is the outcome of Dani Watson’s Master of Arts Photography project undertaken at Photography Studies College (PSC), Melbourne. The exhibition incorporates new technologies, serving as both a personal exploration and a broader commentary on the changing dynamics between humans and nature.

Watson's innovative approach that involves experimental and dynamic drone methodologies invites audiences to experience a deeper, more meaningful connection with nature that encourages environmental responsibility and the impact of human activity on the earth.

"Connection is an exhibition born from my deep love for nature and a desire to challenge how we traditionally view and interact with it," says Dani Watson. "I hope to inspire others to look beyond the surface and see the profound interconnectedness we share with our environment. Working with PSC has been an incredible journey, expanded my understandings of visual culture and provided me with the support and resources needed to bring this vision to life."

Adding to the event's significance, the exhibition will be officially opened by Ken Duncan OAM, a renowned Australian landscape photographer celebrated for his panoramic landscape images.
