Palmerston North-based Gerry le Roux (MNZIPP Dist) is an award-winning photographer, educator and visual artist

Gerry lectures in photography at UCOL Manawatu, New Zealand, and is the owner of science photography business Sciencelens Ltd.

His practice is grounded in documentary photography while embracing fine art and conceptual approaches. His work explores place, identity, memory and the uncertain relationship between photography and truth. Rather than presenting resolved narratives, he creates images that deliberately retain ambiguity, inviting viewers to participate in meaning-making, to question and complete the narrative for themselves. Through gesture, movement and visual metaphor, he investigates the space between documentation and interpretation, between presence and absence.

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