Rory Gardiner is a London-based architectural, interiors, and landscape photographer originally from Melbourne, Australia. With a foundation in design from early exposure to architecture and formal photography training at RMIT, Gardiner uniquely embraces analog film and medium format cameras. This approach fosters a contemplative and deliberate methodology, producing images rich in light, texture, and poetic atmosphere. His work captures built environments with emotional nuance and visual clarity, transcending mere documentation.
Internationally renowned, Gardiner’s portfolio includes cultural institutions, residential and public spaces across Europe, Australasia, the Americas, and Asia. His “dreamlike” aesthetic, characterized by moody natural light and narrative depth, brings architectural forms to life—revealing silence, scale, and spatial resonance with cinematic presence.
