Hi, I'm Wendy,
Photography for me is about creating art on a digital file. It is the ethereal transference of what I see and feel on to a screen, then onto photographic paper.
I photograph from my heart and use the simplest of equipment and techniques.
It is often the natural and uncomplicated things in life that move me to photograph, a field of long golden grass and you hear the swish of the sheaves swaying, a gentle slope of snow which catches a wisp of pink mist in the early morning sun, I listen...the sound of the cold air is like a heaven sent whisper, some tall trees wherein I hear the sounds of eternity in the canopy of needles. Dappled light, I hear music, I see foamy waves, I hear thunder, I smell the heat of the day, I taste the ice of a frozen morning, I could go on... I don’t look for the complicated or most sought after icons of this world, I look for the things that bring a normality of peacefulness and a feeling that everything is going to be alright.
I photograph because I love to, it's that place where I am free to live and dream!
My history and homelife:
I began developing my own black and white photographs back in the seventies in New Zealand where I was born and raised. Today I have a Nikon D850 and an old Nikon D510 and I use Lightroom and Photoshop for my editing. I am self taught but do also greatly value the payed and unpaid tuition and availability of information on the internet.
I'd love you to visit again for fresh ideas and new prints.
