John Liddle is a Melbourne based photographer who likens photography to life. One preserves moments in time, whereas the other can be changed by moments in time. Either way the moments are remembered.
His images do not fit neatly into any particular genre, yet are driven by an essentially documentary philosophy and the belief that good images are created when opportunity meets preparedness.
He invites viewers to share these photographic moments and in so doing, to be open to the triggering of thoughts and emotions. It is often said that “every picture tells a story”, yet the story is not the same for everyone. He recognises that we each see the world differently and that images have the ability to take viewers from the here and now to another time or place, past or future.
