Jeff Petry

Biography

Born under the ever oscillating skies and long cast shadows of the Prairies – there was time to think – time to absorb. This osmosis (a constant), created pathways paved of quiet glances. The sun was direct – seldom diffused. This made shadows, broad moments of comfort and knowing. A recognition of light and it's contours of absence.

Jeff Petry has been photographing and living in Vancouver and Vienna for the past 5 years. Maintaining a life of constant change, not unlike the atmosphere of Manitoba where he was born in 1976, and raised until going abroad. One of the founding members of the Cartelera Talent House and a member of Nobasura, Jeff spends most of his time in Vancouver surfing, traveling, & producing visual works.
