Inkjet print on paperAn inkjet printer creates prints by spraying millions of tiny ink droplets onto paper. This type of printing is generally inexpensive because the ink is relatively affordable. Artists can use computers to create digital art, which can then be printed in color using inkjet technology.

I wanted to make photographs in which everything was so complex and detailed that you could look at them forever and never see everything.

Renowned for his work across a wide range of subject matter, Thomas Struth is a photographer whose portfolio includes Australian rainforests, inner city scenes and intimate portraits; his New Pictures from Paradise, eight separate large-format photographs, captures the natural beauty of the Daintree rainforest – Struth has described the series as his ‘most intuitive work’. Of his creative process, Struth has stated “when I am taking a photograph, I am conscious that I am constructing images rather than taking snapshots” - a concept exhibited in his most notable work, the Museum Photographs, an intimate and candid series that captured museum visitors as they admired works of art. Struth studied under Bernd and Hilla Bechr and the methodology he has used throughout his career was inspired by their documentarian approach, he also studied under Gerard Richter who encouraged his interests in painterly images.

The Düsseldorf School of Photography refers to a group of photographers who studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf during the 1970s. This group was known for its devotion to the black-and-white industrial images characteristic of the German tradition known as New Objectivity. The photographers focused on precise, methodical documentation of industrial structures, often using a detached and objective approach.
