Through my own unique interpretation of structure, line and form in what I see, I love to capture and interpret the innate beauty to be found in both the natural and man-made worlds. I am very interested in looking at how we interpret architectural structure in both the natural and man-made landscapes. Through the abstraction of what I believe to be the essential elements in what I see around me, I produce works that provide a different perspective on how we witness our surroundings. I provide a fresh insight into the aesthetic value of what can become, through habit, the commonplace and everyday.

Having trained in a wide variety of photographic techniques, I feel that the photo intaglio process, allows me to create works of art that best express this vision. Through the use of modern technology in the form of both digital photography (hardware and software), and photopolymer plates, I am able to retain the intimate links between photography and printmaking, whilst pushing the boundaries of what can be created in this modern reincarnation of the photogravure process.

Gammon is a self-taught artist originally from England. He moved to Belfast in 1990 to attend Queen’s University, and in 2004 moved to Boyle in the West of Ireland, where he is currently living. In 2020, he became a full-time professional visual artist, after nearly thirty years of working in libraries. He has a number of academic qualifications including a BA in Politics & Scholastic Philosophy, an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies, a University Certificate in Art History, and a Masters in Library and Information Studies.

His journey in photography commenced in March 2012, after having been lent a camera to take on holiday. He now works in both film and digital photography and enjoys trying out different types of photographic technique. Although now twelve years into his artistic journey, he is still constantly striving to develop his skills and abilities and has undertaken a number of courses to this end; in black and white film photography, black and white digital photography, landscape photography, wet plate collodion photography and photo intaglio printmaking. In 2017 he was awarded associate membership of the Irish Photographic Federation (AIPF) and in 2023 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS).

He has undertaken residencies at the Cill Rialaig Project in County Kerry, Ireland; with Mayes Creative in Cornwall, England; and with Tariq Dajani in Galicia, Spain, and has recently completed a month-long joint residency at Arte Studio Ginestrelle in Assisi, Italy. Since 2013, he has also become a regular resident of the print studio at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, Ireland. He has exhibited widely, including six times at the Royal Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition, the 192nd & 184th Annual Exhibitions of the Royal Hibernian Academy, the 158th International Print Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society, the 2017 Original Print exhibition of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and the 2023 juried Member’s Summer Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society. He has been a member of the Graphic Studio Dublin since 2016.
