A long-time Perth photographer, Andrew is a perfectionist exponent of interpretative and creative photographic art. In fact you could say that he’s a practitioner who puts the art into art photography. And one of his secrets to success is his habit of returning time and again to a selection of favourite locations. So much so that at our club’s first 2024 workshop, Andrew shared stories of going back to places for three decades or more.
Club members enjoyed shooting performances in the annual Fremantle Street Arts Festival held over Easter. The favourite attraction was an act called The Bubble Canteen which appealed to all ages and tastes, with plenty of photographic opportunities.
