New Apple® iPad Application Showcases the Stunning Photography of Peter Lik

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --LIK USA(TM) is proud to announce the much-anticipated Apple release of the Peter Lik Opus HD application for iPad. This groundbreaking app contains the entire contents of the famed landscape photographer's 25th Anniversary Big Book, and is a must for all iPad users whether they're longtime fans of Peter's work or casual admirers of photography in general.

"What gets my blood pumping about this is the fact that so many more people will see the photos I shot over the first twenty-five years of my career," said Lik. "And it's so portable. It's the perfect marriage of fine art and technology."

The application was produced in conjunction with elite book publishing house Kraken Opus and app publishers Six Voices.

"For me, Peter Lik, with his energy, enthusiasm and execution, goes far beyond the confines of the term 'photographer,'" said Howard Forrester, creative director, Opus Media Group. "If Marco Polo had had a camera to record his life and adventures, we'd have someone to compare to Peter. The lifelong romance Peter has had with Mother Nature has brought the world breathtaking images, employing new technologies and the artistic science of knowing when and where to capture a moment in time. We are truly excited and proud to see Peter's work come to life in a completely different way through this app."

The Peter Lik Opus HD app for iPad joins the growing portfolio of Opus Digital apps that showcase the most iconic brands in the world.

"To be associated with companies like Apple and Opus Media Group ... well, it doesn't get any better than that!" said Lik. "I have always tried to make prestige a part of anything I do, and to launch my app in partnership with big guns like those two is just a dead set ripper."

Every photo in the application is accompanied by text that can be brought up on the screen with the tap of a finger and enlarged as desired. In addition to the entire contents of the Big Book, the app has a series of 33 videos featuring Peter narrating select photographs.

The application is very user friendly and visually complements Peter's stunning artwork. An iPhone version of the app, and other apps that showcase Peter Lik's photography, are in the works.

The Peter Lik Opus HD app for iPad sells for $8.99 and is available at the App Store.
