New Zealand: Ross Brown

Ross Brown's focus is advertising and design, where he works within a wide range of styles and techniques, covering subject matter as diverse as landscape, portraiture, sport, animals, still life and conceptual work.

His images are a mix of contemporary and 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. These factors along with his beautiful colour grades and carefully crafted compositions create his signature style.

Ross possesses a high degree of technical ability and is particularly skilled at producing multiple composite images. He believes that every job should be carefully crafted and works very closely with his retouchers and CGI artists, always following a job through to completion.

Ross's work has won many prestigious industry awards both nationally and internationally, including a Grand Prix and Gold Lion at Cannes.

For many years now his images have been selected for Lurzer's Archive '200 Best Advertising Photographers', having also been published in Lurzer's Archive Photography Annuals and many other publications. Ross has travelled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, China, India, Europe and North America and currently divides his work time between LA, New York and New Zealand.
