Amplification

Jeff Busby has been a commercial freelance photographer for 20 years with interests in entertainment, architecture, landscape and people marketing projects with particular emphasis on designer based work. Throughout his career he has also been a leading practitioner of performance photography and has worked with many of Australia's finest dance choreographers, opera, theatre and musical directors, opera singers, dancers and actors. Amplification is the first conceptual monograph on Busby s work. Amplification engages in a critical departure from the advertising editorial typical to the luxury car, showing all cars totally destroyed. Images by Australian photographer, Jeff Busby, are both compelling and disturbing in their beauty and recall J. G. Ballard's obsession with sex, death and speed in his novel, Crash. Stretching out the moment of impact, the viewer is slowly spun from the exterior, through the interior and out again, in a cacophony of texture and colour.
