The Essence Archive is an art collective founded in 2016 by Auckland-based photographers Timothy Mackrell and Yvonne Shaw.
The book Retrograde Motion was their first collective project. It was a finalist in the 2017 NZ Photobook Award.
In 2020 The Essence Archive expanded to become a collective of thirteen artists whose photographic works reflect multiple levels of meaning.
The Essence Archive website offers original prints and books by the artists of the collective.
We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
We’ve partnered with Press Patron to give readers the opportunity to support PhotoForum Online.
