Gordon Ross
I love to witness people’s lives – to see people fully expressed and to find new ways of viewing things.
I have photographed athletes, dancers, yogis, adventurers, musicians, warriors, artists, families and workers as they make their way in the world. Even the seemingly mundane can be full of detail and surprise. I strive to catch the ephemeral truths expressed within the workings of daily life.
My approach is to create a space where people feel free, safe and secure. Then, I encourage them to pull back the curtains and let me peek in for a moment or two. I set out with an intention, but do not get overly attached to an outcome. The goal is to capture the essence of an individual and witness their lives through my lens.
I love to explore the paradox that we are all different and the same with each breath we take. Whether it is a portrait from the Sahara or an urban portrait in Buenos Aires, there is a human look distinctly similar and familiar to all of us.
I hope you find the images in this site stimulating. Drop me a line and tell me what you think.
