This book is a personal selection from 20 years of work. Photographs for the sake of the image, photographs at face value.

SAFETY. JUST A WORD BEFORE YOU LAUNCH  (from the photograph on page 9, shown below) 

"…these images, indeed all good photographs, are above and beyond words. They sideswipe them, subvert them, render them useless, leave them dangling in the face of visual evidence." Peter Turner, past editor of 'Creative Camera', London

“…a beautifully crafted work of art." Ans Westra, photographer.

Wellingtonia 2006  Published by PhotoForum and Espial (500 edition)

Duotone and over gloss 55 images  $39 (NZD) 

This book was made during my exhibition Wellingtonia at the Museum of City and Sea in 2006.

"Julian Ward's photographs of Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, uncover surprise after surprise, those off moments from the theatre of life when the actors are caught off guard. He notices things that we could see if we were there, but seldom do. A light mixture of banality and surreal absurdity." John B. Turner, Senior Lecturer in Photography, Auckland University School of Fine Arts.
