Hutchinson is a Photographic artist and creative practitioner based in Melbourne, Australia. His work explores humans' relationship with the natural and built environment while incorporating geographic, historical, and/or cultural affiliations. 

His academic background is a testament to his expertise. He holds a bachelor's degree in fine art and a master's in communication design. His work carefully blends these disciplines, each project exploring the inclusion of exhibition and/or publication prosthetics to enhance narrative.  

His Photographic practice is supported by the European camera company Arca Swiss. Here, he is among a select group of global photographers chosen for their visionnaire program.  

He would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the sovereign owners of the country where he lives and works and recognises that sovereignty has not been ceded.

ENCOUNTERS BOOK 

Encounters is Hutchinson’s new project that situates itself in Victorian High Plains. Like many mountain ranges, the region entices curiosity and adventure, a land where seasonal trends work in conjunction with seasonal activities, and the cycle, until recently, remained uninterrupted. 

His approach began with photographic investigations, a land previously observed from a close distance and one he assumed knowledge of. In the early phases of this project, his trajectory quickly changed; in field-work, reading the environment through a Eurocentric seasonal calendar proved ineffective, and the encounters with the macro and micro-environment exposed a new unseen landscape.

Installation photograph by Lindsey Roberts

The work is based around a core series of large-format photographs that Hutchinson took during an expedition to the Arctic. The focus of the expedition was to record and document the beauty, immensity, and diversity of the Arctic landscape in this particular moment. Upon returning to Australia, Hutchinson set about reinterpreting and expanding the scope of the resulting photographs in a bid to respond to the impact of climate change on the Arctic region and address our responsibilities not just as Australians, but as global citizens.
