Memories fade.... Fine Art Prints will not
Photographic Memories to me are the most important thing in life. They take me back to a moment in time and create emotions often forgeten. A great photograph of ourselves does just that. I get lost in it and wonder....who was I back then. I remember feeling like a little girl full of hope, ambition, reluctlance. A family image with more than one person or with my siblings it sings to me about our relationship. Good bad or indifferent. It's a memory I cherish. My wonderful father did that for me. My dad took images that took me back to 3 yrs old that made my heart sing. They taught me a lot about who I was. Imgaes of now tell me who I am today if shot well. This series of B/W film prints, 14 in total made me find my thing, my purpose, my lifes work. I said to my dad ' I want to photograph families, people, children and animals being themselves, just like you did for me'. to photograph families, real people, all sorts of people. I want to help create images people will love for life and generations. I want to produce fine art prints with archival framing like you did for me. Fity plus years later they are like they were printed yesterday.
Capturing the true spirit is my dirtimination in each and every shoot. I won't let you go till we have got it. I love to pel back the layers and get to the core. If more than one person It's a about capturing how people feel about each other when todagether without faulse smiles and posed images. My shoots are hard to explain so please do watch the videos. It will give you a feeling of how I get the best out of people. I see my shoots like an onion....peeeling back the layers so I can get to the core. I can and the result will be you being you.
I started photographing people when I was around 8 yrs of age. I did grow up in a family of sucessful advertising photographers. My Legendary father 'Brian Brandt - Photographer' constintantly inspired me. Images he took of me, still adorn my walls as memories which is why I gave up advertising photography to capture real people just as they are. I would love have the opportnity to do that for you.
I shoot with either B/W 35mm film or digital 35mm (colour/b/w) I only print archival exhibition quality prints for longevity. It's wonderful if you get that one shot you love but if it's not printed archivally on archival papers with pigment inks, it will not last. Cost is forgotten and quality is not.

Testimonial
from Siobhan and Family
Thank you soooo much... At last... I am surrounded now by our wonderful family prints and all of a sudden our living space feels so much more like a home. Even more wonderful than this is the fact that whenever we all move - all we have to do is hang these in our new space and we will be home! I love every single one of them and the fact that you have captured the true spirit of each of our children as well as our team is amazing.
The photos don't capture a moment but just capture a story. Hard to explain but just can't stop smiling. Thanks you so much for these treasures. I know for sure we will treasure them always. A real surprise for me was also the kid's reaction. They love them and were very proudly showing them off today to their friends. We have them in every room - so we all get to smile.
These times are so precious and now I have the photos to not only tell the story but 'live' it when I look in to each child's eyes.
To be honest so difficult to find the words. I have a life treasure and you gave that to us and the power in lifting us on a day to day basis and making us smile daily is priceless.
Every picture tells a story
This may be a corny story but it's so true. When I look at my favourite images it evokes a memory of that time in my life. Telling a story in an image takes talent and a photographer that see's things differently. That's my gift and I hope to share it with you and create images that are not fashionable but memorable.
