Biography
Christian Sprogoe is an established Australian
commercial photographer working predominantly in the mining and industrial
sectors and in recent years renewables. Christian is regularly commissioned for
assignments throughout regional and remote Australia. Larger projects
have taken him across five continents over 3 decades. He’s passionate about his
work and thrives on bringing something new to each assignment by exploring the
finer details in a subject or location. He says of his industrial
commissions, “It is a rare and real pleasure to be given the opportunity
to create art from circumstances and in places where art does not often rank as
a priority.” – Christian Sprogoe
