A potted history:<\/p>\n
Marie started in photography when charged with taking the family holiday snaps at the age of 7.\u00a0 Several cut off heads, a double exposed film and a dropped camera later, she had passed the initiation and began snapping away with an old\u00a0Olympus Trip.<\/p>\n
At university, she became a photojournalist for the college paper, receiving a 15-minute baptism-by-fire induction in the dark room before gettting pitched in, processing and printing her submissions to the fortnightly deadlines of the pictures desk.\u00a0 With strong composition as her ally,\u00a0she continued to shoot using her Olympus Trip without the knowledge of the photo editor…and got away with it.\u00a0 Seeing her plight, a friend gifted her her first SLR, a Pentax with\u00a0muddy focus, a plastic lens\u00a0and a \u00a315 flash gun.\u00a0 This was enough to help launch her into music photography and she was soon published.<\/p>\n
A medium format, Nikon manual camera and several Polaroid cameras later, she was given the most extraordinary present of\u00a0a top-of-the-range professional SLR camera, which springboarded her into\u00a0documentary photography.\u00a0 She was soon recording\u00a0stories around the world and at home, seeing what there was for the\u00a0camera to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2007, there was an unscheduled\u00a0hiatus for a few years after she was involved in a car crash (not her fault!), but she is now back behind the camera.\u00a0\u00a0Now working mainly\u00a0on digital, she is\u00a0still as in love with documentary photography as ever, using her skills to record the story of her clients’ wedding day\u00a0together with a new passion for fashion photography!<\/p>\n
Whilst she loves her pixels and Photoshop, She still misses the magic of her F5, old school bokeh and film grain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
