"There is a huge misconception that the photographs we take depict reality To me there is no reality in photography, there is only what what we remember. That's what I'm trying to do. But I'm also trying to create an atmosphere, a romance I guess, something mythical...something that's not quite reality." - Peter Eastway

I have had an ‘on and off’ interest in photography since I was a kid. Most of my working life I’ve been involved in rural pursuits. I did have a stint as a helicopter pilot and was also a retailer for a few years. In more recent years I have discovered digital imagery, Photoshop in particular. I did a TAFE course in computers and IT and currently I work at a professional photo lab, Horsham Colour, in digital retouching, design and printing. So I get to ‘play’ with Photoshop all day long, which is to say, my hobby has become my profession :-))

Please feel free to make constructive comments/criticisms on my work. If there is something you feel could have been done better please don't be afraid to say so. I will learn a great deal more that way than always nice comments! :-))

Testimonials (2)

markdanielowen says:
"I am pleased to write this testimonial for Andrew/Jack, who in my opinion is a world-class photographer, with the rare ability to capture an emotion or feeling in time as a still photographic image.
Each one of his photos tell a story, and all have soft, inviting and welcoming 'Australian country feel' to them.
Looking through his stream takes me back to my youth, when I would travel to a farm in Picton on a regular basis, for a holiday with my Grandfather. The animals and dogs, fresh country air, beautiful sunsets, and farm apparel.
I always look forward to seeing newly posted photos, and Jack's stream will also be a favourite of mine!"21st May, 2007

Warwick Berry says:
"I do not know Andrew Cowell personally. I do not write this testimonial because he has left many a flattering comment on my pics. I do not write this testimonial because I like all of his work. I write it as he is committed to what he does. In my unqualified opinion, when he gets it right, he gets it right. He provides inspiration and encouragement for me and I hope for you to do better.
If you truly knew me you would know that I do not give praise lightly. The dedication and determination of Andrew to excel, to me is worthy of praise, respect and a testament to Andrew and his commitments."13th May, 2007
