About the Artist

Young New Zealand photographer Chris Corson-Scott is insistent on the use of analogue film and the ‘old-fashioned’ 8×10 view-camera. In our digital age, these large and cumbersome cameras are artefacts from the beginnings of the medium, but with the latest technology still provide a unique and superb image quality. Corson-Scott believes the combination results in a more ‘human’ image – “finely detailed, yet softer, richer, and ultimately closer to how our eyes see light than digital capture.” For him, this is a critical part of the aesthetic of his work, dedicated as he is to making quiet, lyrical, many-layered images of deeply personal and intimate subjects, which are most typically mantled by a crystalline and shimmering midday New Zealand sunlight.
