This is Stavros’s seventh and final book. If you enjoyed his earlier books you’re going to love this book.
UPON REFLECTION covers a diversity of subjects ― South Australian landscapes, camel expeditions across our deserts, navigating remote rivers and creeks flowing into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. Plus, Still Life images hand printed as gorgeous platinum prints. Stavros has written extensively about his many outback expeditions including personal diary notes recording events that will amaze you.
This has been an enormous photographic project unlikely to ever be repeated. A one-off chance to own a collection of superb platinum prints by Stavros. The original images were hand printed at Platinum Editions, by Arkady Lvov, an acknowledged master of the process based in Manhattan, New York.
This collection of photographs with explanatory text completes a volume worthy of a place in every library.
If you’re seeking inspiration as a photographer, this is a book for you.
In this book you see the work of a perfectionist. You will see and read about his landscape work; the lengths to which he will go to make his perfect image. You will follow him on his major expeditions with camels into our pristine deserts and you’ll be with him in boats to Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. Join him in a helicopter as he photographs from above and in his make-shift studio as he creates still life images.
This is a book crafted at the very pinnacle of his photographic craft; the diversity and breadth of his work are unlikely to be repeated.
You be the judge, Stavros encourages your comments.

Stavros Pippos Biography
Stavros Pippos is an Australian photographer whose work reflects a longstanding fascination with the landscapes of South Australia. Over several decades, he has built an extensive photographic collection documenting the Flinders Ranges, the Coorong and the Lower Lakes of the River Murray. His photographs capture the changing character of these landscapes, from the rugged ranges and ancient geological formations of the outback to the quiet waterways and wetlands of the south-east. The Flinders Ranges have been a particular focus since his first visit in 1982, inspiring numerous return trips and several photographic publications, including Flinders Ranges, South Australia, An Australian Landscape, Shades of Ochre and Light on Earth. Working primarily with large-format analogue cameras, Stavros has developed a distinctive approach to photography, with a strong appreciation for traditional photographic processes and the craft of printmaking.
Before devoting more time to photography, Stavros enjoyed a long career in television, joining Adelaide’s ADS Channel Seven in 1963. He progressed from studio operations through roles as a cameraman, director and producer, eventually becoming Managing Director. His experience in television provided a lifelong connection to visual storytelling, which continues through his photographic work. He produces carefully crafted prints using traditional processes including platinum-palladium, silver-gelatin and silver-chloride printing. His photographs have been exhibited in Australia, and in 2021 he was invited to serve as a judge for the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition.
