DESCRIPTION McNamara Gallery Photography opened January 25, 2002, and exhibits New Zealand and selected Pacific Rim photographically-based art. They are dedicated to exhibiting and promoting the medium, and exploring the range of practice. McNamara's interest is fundamentally in modern and contemporary art practice; however, they have an annual exhibition examining photographs from the 1960s to the 1980s. They also exhibit selected work from earlier periods.

Light, and its absence, is a source of inspiration and new technologies have expanded this field considerably. In this exhibition we explore the transformative quality of light on film "…light changes the ways we respond to the appearance of place…" [2]. Conversely, light pollution can distract from the creative effects of low light. Utilising available light, darkness becomes both tool and subject. Seemingly unremarkable objects and spaces unpredictably assume a mysterious otherness when emancipated from full light, allowing our imaginations to create the narrative; a perceptual or psychological truth. Restricted light thereby focuses attention, emphasising mood over subject matter and enhances the transcendent power of the medium. Visual legibility is subservient to emotional magnitude. Human presence may be intimated, via 'props', through absence. A stage set which, devoid of players, concentrates instead on the evidence of an absence. Capture of available light, and careful attention to tonal values, can also encourage our peripheral awareness. More light, and detail, can distract the mind. Harnessing the subtle effects of low light is possible with film; a photo-chemical continuum. "They [traditional photographs] are material objects tangibly connected to the world through the nature of their creation: impressions created with silver filaments suspended in animal gelatin, altered by light and chemistry."[3] Low light generally means longer camera exposure of the film and a consequent 'absorption' of time into the image. Expanding on this point in relation to Laurence Aberhart's work, Geraldine Barlow writes "[he] chooses a process of stillness, an extended measure of moments over which light acts upon a prepared surface,…There is a special sense of light in Aberhart's work, never entirely of the now." [4] Film has the potential to capture things the eye [and therefore the photographer] cannot see. This potential is expanded with new technologies such as night-vision equipment, which magnifies the available light or is sensitive to infrared light, transforming reality into a science-fiction alien melancholic place. Other equipment can record the infrared and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum, as well as those visible to the eye, creating 'wide-spectrum' black-and-white images. New sensors in digital cameras have a low-light capability such that there are no limitations to what hour of the day a photographer can work.
