Doc Ross was born in Eketahuna, New Zealand. Since moving to Christchurch in 1998, he has been one of the city’s most intimate biographers. Doc Ross is a self-taught photographer, known for an ever changing practice, from documenting the cities, people and streetscape, to creating social commentary that is far from the visual realities of the street.
His work is in the collections of Christchurch Art Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and many prominent private and corporate collections worldwide; he has exhibited in New Zealand, Melbourne and Sydney, and in 2002 his work was included in an exhibition of Contemporary Australian and New Zealand photography at Sotheby’s New York.
