‘Downfall of the Perfectionist’ is the new book by influential photographer Scott James Prebble.
This volume represents a collection of work that is sometimes lonely, sometimes fascinating, but always exhilarating.
Scott’s photographic works focus on contrasts, between old & new, rough & smooth and ugly & beautiful. Scott shoots on black and white film, is self taught, and usually likes to keep things basic by using simple equipment and natural lighting.
“I’m not a big techno head” he says “Even though I do like my gadgets, I don’t think they make you a better artist, I use my camera like a artist would his brush, it is just a tool to capture a scene I have pictured in my head that I think would be beautiful”
This new work is over 6 months in the making, working with various friends in the urban and rural landscapes in and around Ballarat to create 300 new photographs.

Absolutely stunning work. Mr. Prebble continues to improve upon his already flawless technique of photographing the female nude in his third publication. Full of rich textures, sharp contrasts, and unique composition, this book is sure to please even the most critical art collector.
