Gerringong based landscape photographer Nathan Miller will present Eternal Moments, his new photography exhibition, at the Old Fire Station from February 20 to 26.

A dairy farmer by trade, Miller explains that the name of the exhibition was inspired by one of the core reasons he began taking photos in the first place.

“What inspired me to become a photographer were the unseen moments I’d experience while milking early in the morning- those crisp, clear mornings when the sky is breathtakingly beautiful. I felt compelled to capture those moments,” says Miller.

“The name Eternal Moments reflects this: it’s about capturing a fleeting moment that few people witness and preserving it forever.”

Miller, who has been taking photos for 20 years, took on a personal challenge in 2024 to take a photo every day for an entire year. He has a particular passion for capturing the natural landscape, hoping his work will remind people of the everyday beauty we often overlook.

“I enjoy showcasing the beauty of our local landscape. We don’t always take the time to appreciate it, and I hope that through my photography, people will not only reflect on its beauty but also think about the importance of protecting it,” says Miller.

As you view Miller’s stunning landscapes - each one a snapshot of beauty that might otherwise have passed unnoticed - you’ll likely notice they are all taken in Kiama and its surroundings.

“Kiama is my home. I grew up here and have spent my life surrounded by these landscapes. They’re so unique, not just to Australia, but to the world. There’s really nowhere else like it,” says Miller.

The Eternal Moments exhibition marks Miller’s 12th solo exhibition at the Old Fire Station. He says what he enjoys most about his work is hearing the personal stories it evokes in others.

“I love meeting people and hearing their stories, especially when they share how my photography makes them feel about a place. Everyone’s experience is different, and it’s fascinating to see how people connect with the work,” says Miller.

Eternal Moments opens on February 20, so be sure to head down and experience the beauty of Kiama through Nathan’s eyes. And while you're there, take the opportunity to chat with Nathan about any stories his photographs inspire.
