ART SERIES

Gavin Libotte has been in love with Photography since he set up his own darkroom in the bathroom as a teenager. Studying Fine Art and Graphic Design gave him the visual skills and photographic eye that is needed to create stunning images. His current obsession is Street Photography, where art meets the everyday and the human story is documented in a moment. He also loves to take portraits and give commercial photography an artistic flair.

NEW WAVE

A PROJECT ABOUT HUMANITY

In this series I explore our lives in and around water on a more spiritual level. Our human lives are part of something bigger. We are individual drops of water but we belong to the ocean of life. We are swimming in an ocean of Prana, a field of Energy. I use an underwater camera to get close to subjects as they merge into the ocean. I explore the non dual aspect of human existence, the water is the metaphor that binds us all as an expression of one consciousness. The light in Australia is harsh and this is reflected in the treatment of the images. Black and white create an unusual setting for beach street photography; it makes the stage look more ambiguous. When people are involved in an activity they are very free and reveal more about their true nature.
