Ron Pogue's photographic practice brings an insatiable appetite for exploring the myriad manifestations of human connection.
His subject matter is the celestial, social, sartorial and seldom seen.
His work offers sharp observations and subtle revelations and is informed by his belief that the spiritual world permeates the mundane.
