University of Otago science communication graduate Guy Frederick travelled to Scott Base in late 2016 and took photos of the base and the landscape immediately surrounding it.
There was also a display of short clips of video which were like ``moving photos'', Mr Frederick said.
It was a chance to explore the area in a ``very raw way'' and he was drawn to the sterile and utilitarian feel of the base.
Mr Frederick, a freelance photojournalist, has exhibited some of his work in Christchurch, and his Dunedin exhibition ``Postcards from Antarctica'' opened in the Eskdale Gallery in Moray Pl last week.
Among the subjects captured were the corridors in Scott Base - lined with pictures of New Zealand landscapes - and the bleak expanse of snow and ice outside, featuring roads and supply lines, green and red flags marking paths through the ice, and seals sleeping in the snow.
``They were not perturbed by our presence at all,'' Mr Frederick said.
During the week he spent there he had meals in the base cafeteria, which was like a ``boarding school hall''.
He sat beside a different person every night and they were all doing fascinating things, Mr Frederick said.
Among the video clips was one of a room of fancy-dress costumes, which was there in preparation for the parties held on the base.
Mr Frederick said the Antarctic photography project was not part of his work towards his master of science communication, but it was ``very connected'' and followed on from his studies.
Studying science communication was about not only making things interesting to laymen but involved more and more audiovisual work, meaning you had to be a ``Jack-of-all-trades'', he said.
