Laughter Among The Land Divers Ed. 1 of 25

Laughter Among The Land Divers by David Kirkland photographer.

I love the joy of this photograph, captured on the edges of a shoot I was doing of the land diving ceremony on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. I was walking back from the tower when I saw this group of women rehearsing in front of the local store when two of them asked me to join in. I did - stepping back a few minutes into my performance to take this photograph. On reviewing the experience, I have resigned myself to the fact it was my pitiful effort in a grass skirt that reduced them to stitches.

Most of us who have travelled the South Pacific have returned with experiences fondly recalled - of splashing in the sparkling waters surrounding one of its many islands, of sitting on a pristine beach lined with palm trees at sunset, of the fascinating insights we've been given into its remarkable cultures, of the laughter of its children and the warmth of the people we met during our journey.

International photographer David Kirkland has spent more than 20 years wandering the South Pacific with a camera in hand and, to date, 14 books have been published of his travels. Now, for the first time, an exclusive selection of his most prized photographs have been curated and are available through Art Lovers Australia.

While some of the photographs included in this gallery are part of his Limited Edition Print Collection, and other photographs have been used as the basis for a new series of fine art pieces that blend his photography, with his painting and the artefacts he has collected, the majority of images in this gallery are available as wall prints to decorate your home ....possibly to remind you of your own time in this most enchanting part of the world.
