Simon Devitt, a globally recognized photographer, specializes in Architectural Photography and is currently based in Wellington, New Zealand. His extensive work has led him across Australasia and around the world, where he has captured diverse environments from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the peaceful silence of a Japanese bamboo forest. Simon's profound connection with his subjects is evident in his work, including his love for the diffused light in Los Angeles, and his inclusion of local communities which add a human element to his photographs.
Accomplished in his craft, Simon has published award-winning photo-books including 'Rannoch' and the series 'All Things Considered'. His passion for image, place, and language was first seen in 'Portrait of a House', a self-published photo-book on the Athfield residence in Wellington. Since then, his portfolio has grown to include series such as 'Ripe Fruit' and 'Cape to Bluff'. Simon's images have been featured in numerous books, collaborations, and in major international publications. For a decade, Simon lectured on Architectural Photography at the University of Auckland and established the annual Simon Devitt Prize for Photography. Represented by PhotoFoyer in Milan, Italy, Simon's work has been showcased in group and solo exhibitions. He remains open to commissions, collaborations, and guest lectures worldwide, blending his personal interests and professional skills in a unique way.
