I love an airy window shot, but there is nothing like a darker, moody set up to bring an image alive. This is where you can explore the story telling in your photography through light and shadow. The painterly quality of the side light is reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age which evokes an emotion that can’t be replicated with bright light.

April is a beautiful time of renewal and awakening in the garden. The perfect time to explore new combinations of colours and to get outside with the camera.

I love sharing my love of photography and how I create my imagery. This is what I teach at my floral workshops, but am happy to travel and work with people on their home ground. Learning to read the light and taking photos in your own space goes a long way to successful imagery. Join me on a flower workshop

Creating in Spring with the abundance of flowers available is so inspiring. A few handfuls from the garden bought inside can bring instant joy to the home. Bring just a small posy inside helps us feel more connected to nature and the changing season.
