British, married to a Frenchman and mother of three boys. I have lived in Britain, France, Arizona, and Vancouver. After 7 wonderful years in North America, I have recently (July 2010) returned to France, just south of Paris.

I'm not really a technical photographer but love to capture shots of beautiful and interesting things around me.

I don't use Photoshop on my images. Any editing is very minimal and basic (cropping, sharpening or sometimes tweaking the colours a little) in an ancient version of Elements.
I prefer to try to "get it right" though the lens, rather than on the computer.

I love Flickr for its inspiration, its outstanding images, its learning platform and, best of all, for all the wonderful people I have met. It's an addiction !

    "Denise is a wonderful contact and an outstanding photographer. Her botanical images are truly sublime, never ceasing to entrance me. Excellent control of the DoF, attention to detail and an eye for beauty makes her photographs special. Not to mention the vivid color and compositions that she achieves in her work. In addition to being able to photograph plants and flowers with the best of them, she has fantastic captures of Vancouver in all seasons. These shots combine great light with interesting points of view to make for truly special images.

    On top of that, she's a fantastic contact, always there with constructive, thoughtful and amicable comments. Thank you, Denise, for the inspiration and encouragement! Looking forward to many more wonderful captures."
