Hi Ian, met your son tonight at a work dinner and he was telling me about your photography, so here I am checking it out and it looks fabulous. Will share with my son and brother who are also into photography. Thanks, Gwen Krumins
Ian – your photography is fabulous. I was looking for images for the canola fields in South Australia, and found one of yours with an old abandoned house. After that I couldn’t resist looking at some others. Brilliant
Thank you for your kind comments.
left a reply on your blog too

Hello Ian, Your photography is brilliant – and I’m writing to ask if you would allow us to use some of your photos of King Island on the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/SaveKingIsland
You may have heard that JBS have closed the abattoirs and refuse to sell it to the islanders (and they have no choice but to keep selling to JBS’ other abattoir as it is the only place the ships can take the cattle to for the moment). The loss of 100 jobs from a total population fo less than 1500 is enormous. This facebook page is trying to raise awareness and support for King Island to rebuild itself. We have just hit 3000 supporters and I’m hoping to grow that to 10000 by Christmas. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated by the King Island community who have really been kicked by this callous treatment by JBS. Kind regards, Kim George
Hello, I would love to get a full itinerary on the New Zealand South Island Photographic Tour in April 23rd – May 4th 2014. I tried to mail you but it didn’t work out.
Kind regards

Hi Ian, I’d like to use a couple of your images that I’ve found online for a proposal I’m putting together. Can you please contact me? Thanks, Gemma
Hello Ian, we are planning a trip to Scotland (www.kultour.ch) and we are looking for good pictures. I found your really great pics. Now my question: What does it cost to use it for the leaflet and website?
Hi Andreas
thank you for your comments
To buy any images for use you need to email me… ianrolfephotography@icloud.ocm
we can then discuss how many images you need and the charges for these… I don’t discuss these matters on my forum. regards Ian Rolfe
I absolutely love your photograph of “View to Kimmeridge”, Dorset on June 12, 2013
Do you have posters for sale of that photograph? Please let me know.
Pamela Ledgerwood
Hello Pamela,
thank you for your lovely comments…Appreciated very much.
I used to sell heaps of my work as large prints, don’t really bother anymore as I sell consistently every day around the world through photo libraries. However, if you would really like this as a print may I suggest you purchase directly from me a very high res file so you can get it printed yourself locally in England. AUD $50.00 for that file for your use only. I am in Dorset visiting my daughter for a few days, dropping in about the 16th February before I head up to Lapland to run a workshop… you could get the file me personally then….or I can send the file via dropbox. best regards Ian Rolfe
