Paradise Pictures
New Zealand's breathtaking scenery captured on canvas or art quality photo paper.
Photographic wall hangings.
Hi, I’m Laurence Belcher and I’ve lived and worked in the stunningly beautiful area of Glenorchy and Paradise at the head of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu for several years. People often ask me if they can purchase my photographic images.
Well now you can.
If you would like to give your interior design a lift with a limited edition fine art photographic print from my extensive catalogue of some of New Zealand's most spectacular scenery, then let me know.
Images are printed onto high grade canvas or art quality photo paper to a size that suits your requirements.
Glenorchy locals.
I was commissioned to tell the story of Glenorchy life.
A shepherd’s faithful working dogs at the high country station Temple Peak and the old barn at Rosie's cottage. Both images are presently hanging in Camp Glenorchy and both are available for purchase.
Fishermen's Huts at the Falls Dam.
The Maniototo region in New Zealand's South Island.
One of my recent works. This canvas print is 1200mm wide and the client has placed the work on a schist wall complementing the mountain colourings in the image.
New Zealand's native birds.
Display your images in a variety of ways.
We'll provide the prints allowing you to decide how you would like to present them.
This group of images commissioned by Camp Glenorchy has three of our local native birds in one frame.
High up in the Richardson Range.
Sheep mustering.
Another commissioned work for Camp Glenorchy showing the shepherd and her dogs with Mt. Earnslaw as a magnificent backdrop.
Taking the long way home
Returning home after dropping the cattle off in the Rees Valley.
Display your photographs individually or is a complimentary pair. These images are of our good friends at High Country Horses.
Hawkdun Range.
The Maniototo region in New Zealand's South Island.
Your chosen image will be printed onto either High Grade Canvas or on Art Quality Photographic paper delivered directly to your doorstep.
Tasman Glacier lake
The water from the lake runs down the Tasman River to Lake Pukaki.
My client is very happy with this image of all the glacial waters around Mt.Cook and Lake Pukaki with their stunning glacial colouring. A must see if you are in the MacKenzie Country in New Zealand's South Island.
Photographs presently available.
