Guy Frederick - Photographer - New Zealand
profile
My grandparents lived on a farm, in a blue house ensnared by the hills. It was a six hour drive from our place to theirs, and for the entire journey my ten year old eyes feasted on scenes passing the window. When I think about it now, it was the exposure to new spaces that excited me. Those childhood journeys laid the foundation for how I viewed the world, and my fascination for space and light has continued throughout my life.
After completing a one year Certificate in Professional Photography in
2004, I have operated as a photographer based out of Christchurch.
Portrait and editorial commissions for magazines such as; North & South, NZ Life & Leisure, NZ House & Garden, and the weekly Sunday form the bulk of my work. However my style also lends itself to architectural photography and to businesses looking to communicate a strong branding message.
On a personal level I am passionate about photographing human spaces, and our collective and individual interaction to these and with the natural world. A review in the Christchurch Press of an exhibition I held in 2008 quoted the photographs as displaying “a strong sense of social archaeology – where people have been and what’s been left behind”.
I hope you enjoy the works on this site. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to look through. I hope I can be of service to you.
