About pollysphotoblog

"Life is about experience and so are my pictures" About Me I graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1999 with an honors degree in Fine Art Photography. My classical photography training at Glasgow School of Art enhanced my love of nature and opened my eyes to the world around us. It is possible to find something beautiful in everything if we look closely enough and my camera allows me to do just that. Since I was a small child and my farther gave me my first Olympus SLR 35 mm camera. I have created both documentary and experimental artworks that sometimes push our understanding of a subject and other times simply record the subject in it’s own beauty. I have had my travel images published and had exhibitions in several galleries and public spaces over the years. I now divide my time between the alps in France and the peak district in the UK.
