Four Wellington Portraits by Andrew Ross, at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Correction: 10/3/23, Spelling changed to Swensson Andrew Ross (1966-) is best known for his often unpeopled photographs of faded, threatened, disappearing parts of inner-city Wellington. His range, of course, is wider than that – tramping huts and abandoned ohu in the New Zealand backcountry, or the ancient landscapes of England and the United States are among recent projects. But documenting his home territory is at the heart of what he does. Although Ross is not seen as a portrait photographer, his photographs, however indirectly, are usually about people. For this exhibition we selected four that are more obviously portraits than most. Ross then provided an engaging account of how each photograph came about. - David Colquhoun, exhibition curator, 2015
