An Intrinsic Love for Travel, Photography and Textiles
Capturing Magic Through The Lens
We are fortunate to have a shared interest in, and be able to, travel – both within Australia and overseas (pre COVID). While sharing this interest in the art of photography, you will see from our work here and in our exhibitions that our application and perspective on a particular subject varies.
While most of our work is generated from our own interests, please contact us if you have a project in mind.
Fibre Art
One Artistic Eye Deserves Another
Carol discovered textiles at a very young age, and it has played a part in her lifeever since. From the pragmatic demands of sewing garments as a child to more experimental ventures with free machine embroidery and now quilting her own digital images – she has travelled a number of different fibre pathways.
More about us
The Warragul Camera Club’s monthly competitions stretch our imagination and technical skills but often images related to travel and family do not fit competition definitions and criteria. Entry into National and other competitions also challenges our work in terms of time and subject matter, but it is always a buzz to gain an acceptance (or better) from any judge.
One of the benefits of digital photography is the instantaneous outcome. We both strive to get the image ‘right’ in the camera so that we do not have to rely on heavy manipulation to produce the desired outcome.
Sharing a passion for photography and an interest in visual arts generally has stimulated and educated our eye for subject matter. While we go to the same places and see the same sights, our images are often very different because we see things from a different perspective.
The camera club and competing in competitions are the main drivers and resources for our development as photographers / artists. We have both studied units from the Advanced Diploma of Photography at Photography Studies College which provided an added structure to our learning.
Club workshops and outings, impromptu outings with other club members, and a partner with a shared interest in both photography and travel makes it a lot easier to get out there and take photos.
Extras
While most of our work is generated from our own interests, please contact us if you have a photographic or textile project in mind.
