Peter Dombrovskis b. 2 March 1945

  • Artist (Photographer)
Peter Dombrovskis was intimately involved with the natural environment, not only through photography but as a conservationist and adventurer. He developed a close friendship with Olegas Truchanas', also a Tasmanian nature photographer, calling himself Truchanas' disciple. Dombrovskis was heavily involved with the 1982 No Dams movement led by the Tasmanian Wilderness Society. His photograph Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend, Franklin River (1979) was instrumental in the prevention of the proposed Franklin Dam on the Gordon River in 1982/3. Dombrovskis' large-scale colour photographs possess grandeur and a monumental quality. There is an echo of the sublime character of nature throughout his work
