Anthony Basheer is a photographer whose work explores the quieter, experiential moments found in buildings. He is drawn to architecture that stirs emotion through scale, form, colour and texture, and captures the magic and rhythm of the changing seasons, the shimmering sunlight and the softly fading dusk. Particularly focused on the history and beauty of architecture’s classical and modernist years, Anthony has developed a portfolio of projects – heritage houses, public buildings, warehouses and landscapes – that are not clean or simple, but emotive, personal, layered and considered in response to the rituals of life.
Anthony Basheer’s distinctive style emerges from a strong sense of design and detail, a sensitivity to his subject matter and a sound understanding of texture, shape and form.
Working in partnership with a broad range of clients, photographs focus on the built environment, interiors and landscape with a strong human presence. Sometimes Anthony will challenge the viewer by introducing a hint of tension, or explore the play of light and complexities of colour and texture in the stillness of an interior.
Born in Adelaide, Australia, Anthony holds an Advanced Diploma in Photography from Photography Studies College (PSC) in Melbourne, and has photographed buildings in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and BeiruT.
