Rory Isserow’s beautiful, haunting photographs of natural and man-made forms have the ability to speak to us on many levels. Working with large scale photography on fiber based paper, Rory emphasizes the easily overlooked viewpoints in our world. He is acutely aware of how the interplay between atmospheric conditions, light and water in its various stages affects the emotive quality of a scene. Often avoiding traditional portraiture and landscape, he selects and crops the most interesting features of a subject for maximum graphic impact. The resulting abstractions are associated with moods, animals, natural phenomena and philosophy through witty or cryptic titles. Rory has an incredible sense for color, whether deep hues of sky blue or the blazing yellows and oranges of the morning sun splashed across a building facade, the palette remains crisp and sharply defined.

Rory was born in South Africa and holds a Masters in Computer Science, with an extensive career in the IT industry and commercial photography. He lives and works in London.
