Brother of Kim Campbell
Cavan had a passion for photography which flourished alongside his acting career. His black and white images are dramatic and moving, always proposing an underlying story, perhaps a natural crossover from movie film to still. Cavan's collection of colour landscapes based on the abstract nature of the land are stunning and myriad, through different regions of the world including his native landscapes of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Norfolk, UK. The painted faces of New Guinea bushmen, a lone horseman in Tibet, lush landscapes and paddy fields of Asia and his fine collection of images of Kew Gardens, illustrate the breadth of interest and mastery of mood and texture within Cavan Kendall's photographic portfolio. Cavan's America Collection is both documentary and illusory, rarely without irony.
Cavan is the brother of actress Kay Kendall.
