Projection Artist

High Power Projection Designer & Consultant - Ross Ashton

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 his 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.

He has also collaborated with other artists and lighting designers in the production of shows from Rock & Roll to classical concerts and theatre. His expertise has also been called on for numerous film and television productions.

His work has been seen by millions throughout his career and never fails to be thought provoking, moving and exhilarating.

“My ideas stem from all aspects of the site. The choice of lens to achieve the perfect coverage of the building is just as important as the concept for the imagery.”
