Hi, my name is Anthony Ritchie.
I am a professional photographer from Griffith NSW Australia.
My love of photography was handed down to me by my grandfather, a keen amateur photographer. The Kodachrome Kid I call him for his love of Kodachrome slides, and the many hours he spent projecting them.
I will take photos of anything (except my family who won’t allow me to take their pictures unless I say it for some auspicious occasion, like their mother wants it). I do a lot of landscape and I work on trying to create at least one entry for the National Photographic Portrait Prize each year.
I do buy a lot of photobooks, from Nan Gouldin to the Magnum “Contact Sheets”. I don’t feel that you can ever have enough inspiration.
My favourite form of the art of photography is photojournalism and documentary – basically photographing life.
Thanks for reading
