Step into Epoch Cafe and journey to the edges of the Earth.

Now showing inside Epoch Café at WA Museum Boola Bardip, a selection of striking works from Edge of the Earth by acclaimed Western Australian photographer and cinematographer Michael Haluwana invites visitors into the breathtaking landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Previously exhibited at the WA Maritime Museum, these powerful images capture the stillness, scale, and beauty of some of the world’s most remote environments. Towering icebergs, glowing skies, frozen oceans, and extraordinary wildlife come to life through Haluwana’s lens.

Known for his work with National Geographic, Virgin Galactic, the BBC, and collaborations with David Attenborough, Haluwana’s work combines cinematic storytelling with a deep appreciation for the natural world. Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, meeting friends, or taking a break during your Museum visit, Edge of the Earth offers a quiet moment of reflection and wonder through photography that feels both intimate and immense.

This exhibition is a visual symphony of nature’s resilience and grandeur, offering a rare glimpse into these phenomena, where silence speaks volumes. The Arctic whispers with human presence and northern wildlife, while the Antarctic resounds with the raw stillness of an uninhabited continent adrift in ice.

Michael Haluwana is an internationally acclaimed cinematographer, photographer, and aerial videographer based in Perth, Western Australia. Founder of Aeroture, a creative studio that blends cutting-edge technology with artistic vision to produce immersive exhibitions and media projects, he specialises in capturing the natural world—wildlife, landscapes, and night skies—through breathtaking imagery and cinematic storytelling.

With over 20 years of experience, his work has been featured by National Geographic, the BBC, Virgin Galactic, and more. He’s contributed to major productions including Planet Earth II, Planet Earth III, and Oceans, collaborating with Sir David Attenborough to bring the wonders of nature to global audiences.

Michael’s passion for photography began in childhood in Sri Lanka, inspired by his father—a master diver—and the documentaries they watched together. That early love of nature and storytelling now fuels his mission to inspire environmental awareness and appreciation through visual art.
