Book
"Iceland, 'The Land of Ice and Fire’, has a strong and omnipresent ‘Middle Earth’ feel to it.
Thundering waterfalls abound, whilst craggy caves and peaks, often shrouded in mist and low cloud, provide a home to some of Iceland’s trolls and ‘hidden people'. In summer the days extend through the nights. In winter the nights eat up the days. Changes in the weather are frequent and storms can be spectacular. Brooding skies accentuate the already dramatic and sometimes eerie landscape where trolls lurk at night and get turned to stone by daylight. It is a land of myth and magic, of fearsome subterranean power and spectacular scenery".
Tim Rudman

Reviews
"Tim Rudman is rightly acknowledged as one of the United Kingdom’s very finest landscape photographers working today, with an enviable and growing body of work. Tim’s work is always originated on film but made unique and easily identifiable by his supreme gift as one of the leading photographic printers of his generation. His skills, and ability to enhance almost any image is widely shared amongst all who enjoy photography at whatever level by his many publications and shows a profound and encyclopaedic knowledge of his craft. ‘Iceland’ is quite simply a ‘tour de force’ of the photographer and printer’s skill".

"Meyer gallery considers this collection so important, it has given the whole two floors of the gallery to this exhibition".
From the earlier 2010 Sydney exhibition of the Iceland work.
“This is stronger work than seen before...full of passion and immensely dynamic. His earlier work was more decorative...this shows another dimension. I believe time will prove Tim Rudman will confirm his place as one of the world’s important photographers. This exhibition is up there with the world’s best”.
