Gary

Gary Sauer-Thompson  is an Adelaide based photographer documenting the contemporary urbanscape and landscape. Favoring a blend of spontaneity and photographic deliberation Gary primarily  utilizes an array of traditional, film-based equipment to explore  the topographics of  his urban  and seaside neighbourhood.

 Sauer-Thompson  originally trained as an economist, graduating with a M.Com  from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch,  New Zealand  in 1969. He  was inspired to think of doing photography after seeing the work produced by  artist and teacher John Cato in the late 1970s  when Gary was studying photography at the Photographic Studies College in Melbourne, Victoria.  

In 1990, he graduated with a PhD [philosophy]  from the Flinders  University of South Australia then worked in Canberra.  He returned to photography in the first decade of the 21st century.
