With photographs captured while hanging out the side of helicopter over the Kimberley and Great Barrier Reef, landscape photographer Scott Leggo’s new gallery showcases Australia from an angle not many get to witness.

His iconic images, plus many recently captured photographs, are now on display in a new gallery in Kingston, a newly-renovated space with high ceilings and a clean layout, which allows hundreds of his images and larger-scale photos over 2m, to be displayed.

Scott says the new larger gallery provides a better customer experience and is part of his goal to grow from a Canberra business to a truly national business.

“It’s a new gallery but for us as a business, the new location is about positioning us for future growth,” Scott says. “We are promoting Canberra and Australia and now sharing the beauty of our country with a growing audience.”

Scott was previously in the Royal Australian Air Force for 10 years and has recently returned to the air, using helicopters and drones to shoot incredible aerial shots of Australia from above.

“I’ve started doing more aerial photography, there’s been growing interest in my aerial abstracts in the last 12 months,” Scott says. “Spending time in the air allows me to capture a unique and different aspect.”

Beyond the gallery and the growing number of clients with Scott’s pieces hanging on their walls at home, Scott’s work can also be found in embassies and hotels around the world, promoting Australia’s beautiful landscape to diplomats and tourists globally. One of Scott’s iconic Canberra images of hot air balloons floating over the National Arboretum is being used by Tourism Australia around the world to promote Canberra.

Scott’s jigsaw puzzles, which kept the business going during Covid lockdowns, plus other Australian made gift options are available in the new gallery.

The new Scott Leggo Gallery is located at 33 Jardine Street, Kingston ACT. Open 7 days.
