I believe that photography says so much about a person and is very much a creative force. What they are shooting, when, where and the compositions all give a little bit away about that person's personality, beliefs and character. I like to think that my photographs may say something about me.

 

I also believe photograpy to be very subjective. Yes, there are the technical aspects and 'rules' but I tend to think rules are meant to be broken. I find myself coming from the angle of photography as an expression of creativity and the self and love photographs that capture this.

 

I am evolving, learning and developing all the time. I have have discovered, quite by accident, I enjoy monochrome. A lot of my photographs lend themselves to B&W and I feel it hides a multitude of sins.

 

I also love to combine photography with my love of nature. Often trees. I find that these seem to dominate my photographs and people MUST tire of seeing these and think 'Oh, another tree...' But, for some reason, I just love 'em. Must be the inner Pagan in me.

  

I use a Sony A250 which is my first DSLR and Samsung Compact - although I am on the lookout for a better compact!

Testimonials

Anyone who has an inner pagan deserves a testimonial. I haven't known Lily for very long but I immediately sensed she was a mystical person who was worth getting to know. Her love of trees and cats shows in her photos and also reinforces that feeling.
