AUSTRALIAN photographer Peter Lik has made history by selling his photograph, Phantom, for $A7.8 million ? the most money ever paid for a photo.
The Melbourne-born photographer, who lives in the United States, can now lay claim to selling four of the world's 20 most expensive photos.
The black-and-white landscape was taken in Arizona's Antelope Canyon in the south-western region of the United States. Lik says he is continually drawn to the area ? a canyon carved out by natural flowing water over millions of years.
The most expensive photo of all time
Spectacular spectre ... Phantom by Peter Lik.
The photograph was sold to a private collector, who also bought Lik's masterworks Illusion for $2.9 million and Eternal Moods for $1.3 million.
?The purpose of all my photos is to capture the power of nature and convey it in a way that inspires someone to feel passionate and connected to the image,? Lik said.
He began taking photographs during his childhood in Australia, and never stopped. His career has been marked with award wins as a Master Photographer from both the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) and the Professional Photographers of America (PPA).
Lovely to have a rich fella who likes your snaps !

Im a commercial photographer myself and this came up in conversation at the studio last week.
Nice shot for sure but just how do you put that sort of price on a photograph?
Should ken Duncan just go a put a few zero's on the price tag of his pictures also? This guys work is very much the same sort of thing. Oh he does have the Croc Dundee look sorted and has a publicist though.
I would think from a commercial photography viewpoint a shot like that with full worldwide buyout to be used or displayed however the purchaser wants would be more like $25 to $50 k and still most clients would just laugh at you.

People have such varied taste..... if I'd produced that there is a chance it would have never made it through post production.
