Ryan Creevey: Melbourne food & drink and animal photographers

Still life photographer Ryan Creevey is all about intuition. Anyone can press a button and take a photo, but it takes a specific eye and perceptivity to capture a moment ­ a moment that tells a story and says more than the sum of its parts. For his latest personal exhibition Ryan has deviated from his day-to-day artform to capture a portrait series of native Australian animals.

Photographed in a contained studio environment, the resulting work is a collection of images juxtaposing the wild against the controlled. The purity of the backdrop magnifies the raw beauty of ‘The Natives’, with a hyper-realness that amplifies every minute detail.

Commercially specialising in food, beverage and still life, Ryan loves applying his unique attention to detail to create iconic imagery. He especially loves a technical challenge, the more technically challenging, the lovelier Ryan is.
