Capturing character through his lens
Mick had the ability to capture the 'character' photograph, often by letting his personality frame and fine-tune the photograph. His folklore and tales weren't just spoken words but were embedded within the faces and landscapes he immortalised. Each photograph tells a story, a local legend, or a personal anecdote, revealing the heart of the community and the essence of its people.
Stories that live on
Mick captured and told great stories with his wonderful photographs. Of course, he was well able to tell a fine story and yarn himself. Many of them are immortalised, not just in his visual art but also in the memories and conversations he sparked. His unique way of storytelling, combining visual artistry with his engaging personality, made people want to hear more from him, ensuring his narratives would resonate for years to come.
Remembering a larger-than-life personality
We hope that through his photographs, people will always remember his larger-than-life personality. His work invites you to connect with the stories, the people, and the spirit of our community, leaving you with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the everyday magic Mick McCormack captured.
