Bio
A few things about Philip ...
His inquisitive and adventurous spirit would lead him far from his home town of Perth, Western Australia, and an initial career in architecture, into a world of travel and freedom in photography. That first step of wanderlust was more than three decades ago. Now based back in Perth, Philip has worked with some of the world's leading magazines - TIME, The Independent on Sunday Review, Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, VOGUE China - while shooting annual reports for corporate clients including HSBC, RBS and Zurich Insurance.
While his imagery has been exhibited and honoured with awards in his native Australia, he has exhibited internationally including being featured at Holland's prestigious Noorderlicht Photo Festival and in Japan and Europe. His project Visible, Now - The Fragility of Childhood was published as an e-book in 2006 and his Black Christmas Bushfire Series (2001) is in the permanent collections of both the National Gallery of Australia and Melbourne's Monash Gallery of Art.
In addition to photography, Philip has written numerous articles on his travels for publications as diverse as Discovery, South China Morning Post, Asahi Shimbun, Australian Financial Review and Asia Literary Review.
Currently he is involved in the production of short film and documentary projects. His most recent short film Down the Wrong Path, which he directed, featured at Revelation Perth International Film Festival 2018 and Doris was screened at CinefestOZ Film Festival 2018. In addition to advertising work his current clients include the Black Swan State Theatre Company, The Australian Financial Review, The Guardian, The Australian newspaper and the State Library of Western Australia.
