My Story

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 greatly value the payed and unpaid tuition and availability of information on the internet.

I have one husband and a few children and a few more grandchildren, a beach house in York Peninsula, where I spend most of my time and where most of my photography is done, and my camera gear, and a new garden out the back with herbs and things growing.

I’d love you to visit again for fresh ideas and new prints.
