I like to explore the human condition and our relationship to the world around us. The world is multidimensional and exists across both the physical and spiritual space – my images explore our relationship with both. The fragile human essence is at play within the many layers of existence, something we don’t understand but are committed to moving through – towards the unseen challenges that lay ahead.
Maya in Indian Sanskrit means illusion. Maybe the world we see and live in does not exist in the first place; perhaps it’s all a dream. The world in the past does not exist in this moment, and the world today will not exist in the future. The world is nothing but a fleeting experience.
Using intentional camera movement (ICM) and flash, I can freeze the subjects in layers of activity. The subject, still and unchanging, becomes the permanent soul, with the blurred outside layers representing the ever-changing illusion of the impermanent world.
Australian photographer Gavin Rene Libotte (born in Kent, England) is a multi-award-winning Australian photographer based in Sydney. He has been in love with Photography since setting up his darkroom in the bathroom as a teenager. Studying Fine Art and Graphic Design gave him the visual skills and photographic eye to create stunning images.

Metzker, Trent Parke and Alex Webb.
