Gavin John is a self-trained nature photographer who, in this age of multimedia overload, finds himself compelled to return time and again to the purity and power of the single, still image.
After 20 plus years building his portfolio his first book hit the bookshelves in 2021, and two of his photography films are regularly screened on the Digital Facade (big screen) at Fed Square.
The diverse complexities that Earth’s nature and landscapes have to offer have provided Gavin with a wealth of inspiration. As well as revelling in the huge variety of sweeping landscapes, he delights in juxtaposing the epic with the intimate and playing with perceptions of scale, isolating specific features, and concentrating on colours, geometry, and textures to create abstract works of art.
Gavin releases a calendar of landscape photography annually and his work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions and has been widely published in print and online. His fine art photography adorns the walls of many corporate offices in Australia and overseas.
