As photographic tutor, Gordon Undy is an ideal choice. Undy's passion for landscape photography is infectious. He has an impressive knowledge of the medium and a flair for teaching. He opened our eyes to new perspectives in landscape photography and ways to take images capturing the different moods we experienced.

​Point Light [is] new to Sydney, but has already gathered impressive credentials. From the standard of a recent students' exhibition, co-director Gordon Undy can be regarded as one of Sydney's premier photography teachers.

Gordon Undy, a fine landscape photographer in his own right, has also revived interest in arcane photographic print processes. 'Point Light', says Undy, 'is a place to inspire, create, enjoy and acquire fine photographic prints' from photographers using 'silver, platinum, and alternative processes'.

Undy has a considerable flair for abstract composition.

A new group exhibition of silver gelatin prints at Point Light Gallery hinges on the theme of water. It's a small show packed with riches...In images like 'Babinda Boulders, Queensland', which he took in 1984, Undy handles the slower shutter-speed approach to rushing water with unusual delicacy, creating that familiar fairy floss effect without entirely blurring over the water's multi-directional movements.

Gordon Undy is renowned as one of Australia's foremost practitioners of b & w landscape photography. Undy has contributed much to the love and craft of b & w photography over the years as the founder of Point Light which offers an exhibition space, printing workshops and mentoring programmes in a stylish space at Surry Hills in Sydney.

But present in these new Undy images... is a complexity of vision suggesting a change in his way of seeing the Australian landscape. 'Black Mountain Study No 1' shows Undy is unafraid to use a rougher sense of composition to say something new about the bush. This is one of a number of impolite, but satisfying photographs in the book and show [Lines, written in Australia].

[On Intimations] Undy's pictures have become quieter, meditative and somehow more intensely Australian... Undy approaches Australian land and light on his own terms...Lovers of silver-based printing would also be well advised to see this exhibition for the luminosity of Undy's black and white printing, in both silver and the rarer platinum/palladium process.

 [On figments]... elegant composition and impeccable black and white print quality... deeply personal photography of mostly zen-like simplicity.
