Photos by Austin

Austin Cawlishaw is the first photographer, whose work was acknowledged as worthy of merit, by Amazon Art Reproductions, in 1998.

Austin was born and raised in the city of Montreal, Quebec (Canada). At the age of nineteen, he joined the Canadian Air Force and began training as an Air Force police officer. It was during these years that his interest in photography grew, as a result of specialized police training that offered opportunities to travel.

A highlight of his photographic career, was the winning of first place in the black and white category, at a photographic competition for the Canadian Armed Forces, in Canada and Europe, in 1982.

In June 1988, Austin along with his wife and son, moved to Thunder Bay, Ontario (Canada), when he retired from the military, after twenty four years of service. Here, he began to work as an addiction's counsellor. He retired from this profession in 1997, in order to pursue his love of photography, on a full time basis.

His interests lie in nature, landscape and portrait photography. Many of his pictures are displayed as postcards and photographs, sold throughout Thunder Bay and northwestern Ontario.

You will enjoy his work, as much as he enjoys bringing the medium of photographic moods to you!
