Impressions of the Landscape
Finding Inspiration
"I think any professional photographer could have helped me master my camera, wean me off its automatic functions. But Gillian is an artist who just happens to work in the photographic medium and I am grateful for her generosity in not only sorting me out technically, but also sharing her creative process, her aesthetic, particularly her enchantment with light. She's a great teacher: great fun to work with."
John Crix
My Approach
I am a qualified photography teacher and I have taught people of all ages and abilities in schools and colleges. I have also been employed by councils, libraries and theatres to create community photography sessions that have brought about change to peoples well being, as well as teaching them transferable skills. I understand the importance of art to assist us in finding the space to express ourselves and create something tangible that we can feel proud of.
Suffolk is a beautiful county, with gentle lines and hues and my interest is in transposing something of my emotional response onto each place I visit to create my own point of view. In my Creative Camera Club we explored that approach and the members exhibited their wonderful work as a group show in Woodbridge.
​
I work entirely in-camera using the breadth of possibility that the Exposure Triangle has to offer as well as exploring experimental ideas and it is that approach that I would like to share with you.
