Andrew Kilburn 'Kilaphotos'

Born in England and emigrated to Western Australia in 1989.

I live south of Perth, Western Australia on a hobby farm and have been here since 1998.   I have been passionate about Photography for many years, starting with a Brownie Box  film camera in the 60’s, progressing to a Pentax in the mid 70’s when I started taking photography seriously.

I made the change to digital photography around 2003 when I purchased my first digital camera this was a Kodak 4 mega pixel point and shoot.  At this time I was a Volunteer Firefighter and was fortunate to be able to take photos from within the fire and publish them on the fire brigade web page.  I was also able to use photography in my regular job as a designer in the Offshore Industry.

When digital DSLR’s came out I stayed with Pentax and now have an ISDT, K20 and a K7, but as my photography started to gain momentum I found I needed to upgrade to a professional DSLR and invested in a NIKON D700 (Full Frame).  However, I still use the K7 and alternate between the two cameras.

Between 2007 to 2009, I enrolled at the University of Western Australia in their  'Extension Courses'

Fashion Workshop with Stefan Gosatti


Recently I have been working on Studio, Theme and Event Photography, and Motor Sport mainly Extreme 4x4 Off Road Racing.

I would at sometime like to set up a Large Studio for photographers and models to show off their work,
and big enough to photograph a top fuel dragster, or 4x4 Off Road buggy.  My desire would be to get
some photographs published in a book or magazine, to have some exhibited in an exhibition or just
get some of my photographs noticed.

In the mean time I will continue taking good photographs.
