Alan McFetridge, New Zealand born Photographer

Alan’s photography features in UK, US and New Zealand publications and galleries including The Independent on Sunday, AN for Artists, Creative Review, The John Kobal Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, London, The Royal Photographic Society, The Association of Photographers, Communication Arts Photography Annual and the Millennium Dome. 

He works with photography to describe his immediate environment. Finished works are carefully composed, detailed and increasingly present; a departure from reality.
