- Biography/History:
-
Lance Nelson led a varied career as a photographer and photojournalist. He began his career as a freelance magazine photographer in the early 1960s, focused on corporate and industrial work during the 1970s and 1980s, then moved into stock photography in the 1990s. Nelson worked primarily across Australia, Indonesia and the South-West Pacific region including Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Caledonia and New Zealand. His real passion was for everyday life and people, in particular the small country town of Boggabri in north western New South Wales between Gunnedah and Narrabri, where he followed the daily activities of a bee keeper and his family.
