Wayne Eardley, photographer and filmmaker, was born in Montreal. He then spent
most of his growing years building tree forts, swimming and fishing in and around
the village of Cavan, Ontario. At the age of 12, Eardley studied photography
at school. He hated the smell of acidic acid but loved the taste of silver.
By grade 10, Eardley's images covered Toronto's "Shades" magazine,
which was the Canadian version of Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine.
After high school, Eardley kept up his family tradition of travelling for long
periods of time with little and often no money.
Upon returning, Eardley worked as a maitre d', farm hand, and sold antiques.
It was in the back of this antique shop where he set up a small studio and would
more often than not be unavailable for customers, as he was busy composing a
still life through his 4x5. Off Eardley went to Ryerson as he could see his
career in antiques was collecting dust. After 4 years of film and photography
studies, Eardley set up a studio in a historic old school in Millbrook, Ontario.
There he worked for such clients as Bell Canada, Air Canada, Johnson & Johnson,
Today's Parent Magazine, Canadian Geographic Magazine to name just a few. After
putting up with insufficient heat for years, Eardley jumped at the chance to
move in to a newly renovated studio space in downtown Peterborough (about 1-1/2
hour drive east from Toronto). There he works primarily as a stills photographer
shooting a variety of work for a variety of clients. Eardley still travels the
globe shooting ongoing personal projects.
Eardley loves to work with a plethora of camera, film, and lens combinations,
and he custom prints images sometimes using processes that apparently only he
understands. Eardley has won many awards for both his photography and his short
film work.
