| Biography – Mark Chew Originally from England, Mark Chew moved to Australia in 1985 having undertaken an apprenticeship in London with some of the leading advertising photographers of the time.Since then his work has taken him all over the world with assignments in places such as India, Viet Nam, Laos, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, USA, Indonesia, Vanuatu and New Zealand.Although Mark is a commercial photographer who has relied on his craft to make a living for the past 30 years, he is now spending more and more time, trying to rediscover the spark of anticipation and excitement on first seeing a silver gelatine image emerge in a bath of developer under a faint red light in the 1970’s.He believes good documentary photography treads a fine line between being an unemotional record of what happened and a subjective and inherently biased account of the subject in front of the lens. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes meaningful work appears.Previous Exhibitions
