About
Dylan Negri is an Australian photographic artist based in Melbourne, Victoria.
Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, nature and a diverse range of creative artists, his work often explores the convergence of man-made and natural image-making techniques with the intention of highlighting the fragility and transience of life while preserving its traces in a lasting visual form, inviting reflections on the cycles of decay, renewal and the hidden beauty in what is often overlooked.
