‘My professional photography was mainly just dry, documentary stuff.’ In the 1980s, Dirk invested in three Olympus OM-1 bodies because they were robust and devoid of electronic parts, so wouldn’t fail when he was working in tropical conditions. ‘By training I’m an archaeologist, so I have had to document all sorts,’ says Dirk. Speaking via Skype from Australia, Dirk quickly makes it crystal clear that his style of photography is a creative escape from the much stricter constraints of documenting archaeological sites and historical buildings. But outside of academia his hobby is ‘mucking around’ with vintage cameras and lenses. In his day job, Dirk HR Spennemann is Professor of Cultural Heritage Management at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia. Hermagis Hellor f/4-5 135mm lens on Nikon D800 body.
