Palmerston North photographer Gerry le Roux (MNZIPP Dist) is an award-winning photographer, and lecturer in photography at UCOL Manawatu, New Zealand.

When not teaching, or capturing images of science and industry through his photography business Sciencelens, Gerry is likely to be out walking the streets of small towns around the region pursuing his quest to capture singular scenes of the human-altered New Zealand landscape and its people. His images operate at the intersection between street, documentary and landscape photography, and are typified by a calm minimalism and formal, often starkly geometric compositions, in high contrast black and white or saturated colour.

Refusing to stick to one genre, Gerry’s portfolio is an example of consistency through diversity. His work can be classified as straight photography, broadly aligned with the New Topographics and New Objectivity movements in contemporary photography.

Gerry is currently pursuing a large scale, collaborative fine art portrait photography project.
