Jon Setter

Jon Setter is a photographer who was born in Detroit, Michigan, and is currently based in Sydney, Australia. He received a B.A. from the College for Creative Studies in Media Arts and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts from the National Art School

His photography primarily focuses on urban spaces and architecture. Jon wanders through cities looking to document a perspective that is normally not visualized. Aiming to make use of repeated formal patterns such as color, material and texture, he methodically organizes them to develop an abstracted expression of space. Hoping to establish that even the most vernacular aspects of a place can have a role in the way it is understood and represented.

Jon has exhibited in a number of shows in Sydney and Melbourne. He has been awarded a number of photography prizes in numerous locations. Most recently with Life Framer and the International Color Awards.
