ABOUT THE ARTWORK
One of my favourite trees against a stormy sky.
 
PHOTOGRAPHER - STEPHANIE LORD
“The flat, painterly feel of my images reflects my way of looking at the world. I love the graphic shapes and patterns of nature and when I’m composing my images, it’s these elements that I try to capture. It’s often not what’s in the image that’s important but what you leave out.
Wherever I am, I always have my cameras to hand, which means I never miss the sudden change of light on the landscape or that dramatic cloud formation. The ephemeral nature of the digital world, means that so many beautiful images are locked into devices, rather than making our personal and shared spaces more beautiful. So now I am translating my work onto aluminium and paper, framed and unframed, to be seen and enjoyed by everyone.”
 
Steph has been working in the world of photography for over 25 years. Having completed an art foundation course at Newport Art College, she went on to study Spatial design at Bournemouth College of Art and then worked as an architectural model maker. For the last 30 years she has been working in corporate photography, as part of Molyneux Associates.
