Sean Izzard has been working as a photographer for the past 20 years.
After his foray into the editorial world, Izzard soon found himself being
commissioned for advertising assignments. His style became one of a combination of the looseness and adaptability that editorial photography demands, with the polish and high production values affordable in advertising.
The look of realism and authenticity, as forged in his earliest work, has remained a hallmark of his commercial undertakings. This successful transition is reflected in his many awards, including five Bronze and two Silver AWARD pencils, three Bronze lions, two Folio, numerous inclusions into D&AD and 10 consecutive ACMP Annual Photography Collections. He was also runner up Australian Commercial Photographer of the year 2007 and 2008. Izzard’s talent for pre-visualising and composite shooting has contributed to his inclusion in the past three ‘Archive – Top 200 Ad Photographers in the World’ editions.
Respected throughout the industry, Izzard has been included on the judging panels of the ACMP collections and AWARD. Izzard possesses an outstanding natural ability combined with a great sensibility, which is clearly evident in the quality of his work. www.seanizzard.com
