People know cinema. They know theatre. They know magic. But until now, no one has ever before merged these captivating elements into a new kind of show: the Magic Light Projection. It breaks down artistic barriers, and creates a powerful synergy between the various art forms.
Ross Ashton was born in Sheffield in 1961. Having trained in photography and theatre he moved to London and began to work in video and slide projection. After spending four years in Paris working with a variety of visual media, he began specialising in High Power Projection in 1992.
His years of experience have produced an instinctive understanding of the relationship between artwork and structure, light and surface, object and subject. The size and scale of his work has led to him being commissioned for both stand-alone works and broader based large shows designed and created for national and international audiences. His specially commissioned ‘son et lumière’ have received world-wide attention.
His reputation for large scale spectacular pieces mean that he has created projections as commemorations for governments around the world.
