Gavin Jowitt

Professional photographer based in Sydney, Australia

Over the last 20 years I have built a reputation for capturing outstanding corporate, commercial and editorial photography. Photographing people and places has become my passion. Whether it’s taking portraits of company directors in the boardroom, working out of the back of my Land Rover at a mine site, or shooting aerials of Sydney Harbour, you name it, I’m a photographer who's likely to have shot it.

My career in photography has run in parallel with my career as a designer and creative director. Working predominately on corporate and stakeholder communications I fully understand communication objectives and the need to deliver authentic shots that are true to the culture of an organisation.

My passion for photography started when, as a kid, I was handed a dusty old copy of one of The Royal Photographic Society Annuals. It was full of the work of Don McCullin, David Bailey and their contemporaries... all in black and white of course. My father saw that I was inspired and bought me my first camera, a Cosmic Symbol. I soon converted the store room next to my bedroom into a darkroom which is where I spent the later years of my childhood... that is, when I wasn’t out and about shooting.

Leaving school at 16, I went straight to art college and studied photography and design for the next four years. The early years of my career were spent working in London until 1992 when I moved to Australia. Sydney is now my home and where I still divided my time between photography and design.
