What's your background in photography?
I started photography 10 years ago when given a camera. I’d loved having a career as a musician and mother but the children were now about to leave the nest and I was burnt out as a musician and needed something new and still creative in my life.
How would you define your photographic style?
In the past I have jokingly said that my style as a photographer is “messy and imperfect – just like me”… and in some respect this is true. I like photography to be free of rules and totally spontaneous. The style I am most comfortable with is ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) where I move the camera freely as I take my images.
Can you tell us a bit more about your mini-series titled “Fragility”?
I have always loved skeleton leaves, they illustrate to me, so beautifully, the passing of time and the different phases of life cycles. I wanted to explore them photographically and take the time to catch their delicate and poignant reminder of the fragility of our existence… and the fragility of each moment – something we often seem to forget as we rush around in the busyness of life. Each image in this series is a composite image.
