At the end of several days during an Autumn Easter at over 1200 metres above sea level in country New South Wales, Andrew was consumed with a light that is brief, intense, colours vivid, glimpses haunting and momentary. Who needs a crappy conversation filler when a day can end like this.

Over the recent summer break one finds it difficult to forget about seeing, doing and making works. Photography is something we love to do which in turn pushes and explores a subject or idea.

Australia maybe a back water, if compared to its sporting life, for creative people and what Australia lacks in support for people who follow artful pursuits is overwhelmed by a raft inspiration.

Andrew (Ashton) has developed a range of images over the 2010 Summer break which explore the many expressions found skyward. Shot at Green Cape on the South Eastern wilderness corner of New South Wales in Australia, these image represent over several hundred images that capture the many moods found above.

These images are available for collectors, prices and high quality image (nothing like these crusty jpgs) are available upon application. Contact the studio for details.

Andrew’s photography has been recognised at this year’s Corbis 2009 Creative Behind the Lens competition. The announcement was launched at an event at Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

This image was taken on the train ride to Coney Island, New York during the winter season. It was a long unrewarding ride, where the carriages were barely full, snow on the beach dotted with plastic palms, closed down rides, clear mid blue skies and black puddles. The screwed up windows created vistas that were more like a Turner painting with their blurry glimpses and dreamy shapes.
