Kim Guthrie

 EXTRAordinary

Kim Guthrie has taken photographs since he won a camera in a sandcastle building competition at Frankston pier as a child.

Kim says his approach to photography is a straightforward one, rebelling against today's highly polished, airbrushed illusions of superhuman beauty, relying instead on the honesty of the subject. He celebrates the ordinary, examining the commonplace, anti-paparazzi, anti-celebrity and the people often ignored.

"In this age of limitless hype and phony celebrity I think it’s good to remind yourself that you only have to scratch the surface of the image people present to the world to discover we really are all one," says Guthrie.

In EXTRAordinary, touring with Queensland Arts Council's Ontour onexhibition program for the second year in 2010, Kim shares with us his appreciation for everyday beauty.

"The camera is a magic key that unlocks gates to people and places inner worlds," says Kim.
