NEW ZEALAND ISSUE 267 Mar 2011

Born in New Zealand in 1969, Ross Brown knew from a young age that he wanted to be a photographer. He has been single-mindedly pursuing photography as a career and a way of life ever since. His focus is on advertising and design, where he works within a wide range of styles and techniques covering subject matter as diverse as landscapes, people, sport, animals, still life and conceptual work.

Ross believes that advertising photography can be an art form in its own right, as is evident in his work. His images are classical, inherently elegant and meticulous in detail. He combines a mastery of light and form, mood and atmosphere with a strong emotive quality and sensitivity to his subject matter. He possesses a high degree of technical ability and is particularly skilled at producing multiple composite images. Ross believes every job should be finely crafted and likes to have a hand in the retouching of his work, following a job through to completion.

Ross is represented in New Zealand by Match Photographers and in New York by Greenhouse Reps.
