Joachim Froese is one of the most recognised art photographers from Queensland. He was born in Montreal/Canada, grew up in Germany and migrated to Australia in 1991. Now living and working in Brisbane he also teaches photography as a casual lecturer at the Queensland College of Art.

Over the last 10 years his work has concentrated on the photographic still life and he has developed a unique way to create photographic tableaux. These laboriously assembled constructs are inspired by art history and his personal story of migration. They seemingly defy reality and question the inherent nature of the photographic image as a reflection of the real.

Froese has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Australia, Europe, Asia and North America. He is represented in numerous private collections as well as in a number of public collections including the National Gallery of Australia. To see more of his work visit www.joachimfroese.com
