“John Austin's black and white photographs are a means of showing his world as clearly as possible. The apparent simplicity of John's images belie the depth and meditative awareness that illuminates his work, qualities that are best revealed by viewing original silver gelatine printsJohn Austin Print Sales
To achieve the sensuous quality of his prints John uses the largest format cameras practical in any situation with lenses from the early part of the 20th Century. His use of large negatives is combined with his mastery of silver gelatin printing, still the finest archival black and white photographic print medium
John's black & white silver gelatin photographs are in many collections, including the National Portrait Gallery; the Art Gallery of Western Australia; the Australian National Library; Curtin University, Bunbury Regional Art Gallery; Western Australian Department of Justice and private collections in Australia, Singapore, the USA, South America and England”
