Ian Preston

June 1, 1948 – October 23, 2024

For over 40 years, Ian Preston, photographer, cinematographer and student of Fine Arts, has rarely left home without a camera. His photographs, which synthesize his passion for documentary film-making and visual art, reflect his commitment to lifelong learning and exploration of photography.

“I have been asked many times what type of photography I do. I used to feel awkward because I didn’t feel I had a particular area of focus. I could more easily talk about what kind of photography I don’t do. I believe that my background in film-making — with its different locations, subjects, and emotions — has played a big part in shaping the way I go about my still photography and the results I get from it.”
