WHAT INSPIRES MY PHOTOGRAPHY?

 Post by Judy @ Gallery 21

"Photography as a powerful medium of expression and communications,

offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution".  Ansel Adams

  

In this, my very first blog, let me introduce myself and give you a  brief insight into the environment I live in, as this provides the inspiration for much of my photography.

I'm Judy a  photographer, writer, wife  and animal lover.  I specialise in photographing landscapes, nature and the built environment.  I also co-own with my husband,  Gallery 21, a photographic art gallery, where I exhibit and sell my work.

Home for me is Hamilton, New Zealand.   It is the largest city in the heart of the lush farmlands of the Waikato region in the North Island.  This wonderful countryside constantly inspires me, no matter what season of the year.  The mighty Waikato River, New Zealand's longest,  flows through the city and it's variety of different moods are also the focus of many of my images.


I am fortunate to live close to this wonderful scenery and this has many advantages for a photographer - but that's a topic for a future blog!


There's a link  from this Blog site to the official tourism website for the region if you wish to know more about Hamilton and the Waikato. 

I'll look forward to sharing photographs, tips, insights and great Blogs with you in the future.
