Bear with me

I've been interested in photography for a couple of years now. In Jan 2010 I completed my 365 Project, uploading a picture to flickr every day for a year.

Since then I've made a book from my Post Box Portrait photo set. It's a bit of a bizarre and obscure subject for a book but after looking at it most people say it strangely works! Surprisingly its pictures were featured in media from the local newspaper Bristol Evening Post, to BBC1's hit TV show Have I Got News For You (!!)

These days I am busy shooting a variety of subjects: kids and family portraits, makeovers, weddings, musicians, promotional product images...alongside my usual odd personal stuff.

Since Nov 2010 I am now shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 24-105mm L lens.....mmmm!!

If you're interested in booking me for a shoot, using any of my work for commercial purposes, or for a lovely printed image to cheer up your bedroom wall, give me a flickr mail =)

Oh, are you wondering who the male bear is above?
That's my boyfriend, Simon (also a weird photographer person).

    "ĦŁκâLϊЛ℮ /\/\öǙşЄ is a fellow 365er and it's been great to complete the project with people like her and to be on the receiving and giving end of feedback on each others shots for the day.

    Her photography style has really blossomed as part of the project and her fun outlook on even the most mundane of subjects always makes visiting her stream a pleasure. Great contact and even better photographer... love seeing the photographs in her stream switch from comedic, to sinister, to plain glamorous.

    Be sure to check out her post box obsessed group full of fun portraits too if you want to see the fun side of her character."

    "I came across ĦŁκâLϊЛ℮ /\/\öǙşЄ's photostream a while back and was immediately captivated by her totally fresh outlook ... she manages to see, and capture, everyday things that we all take for granted, and turn them into exceptional images.

    She candidly describes herself as 'a total newbie to all this photography malarky ...' but trust me, if a newbie can do this, then watch her develop, you'll be as captivated as I am

    Added to all this is her quite quite amazing creativity, and when she throws Photoshop into the mix ... then sit back and enjoy the ride !

    Do yourself a favour and have a good look at ĦŁκâLϊЛ℮ /\/\öǙşЄ's 'stream, and come back often to see what she comes up with next ... you won't be disappointed !"

    "The sheer volume of talent contained within the small package that is Mouse is astonishing. I am constantly impressed, firstly by her new and interesting ideas and then by her execution of said ideas. It appears to me that she has potential to go far.

    It is always a pleasure to peruse her 'stream."

    "AM’s artistry, style, perspective and composition is incomparable. Combined with her fantastic manipulative abilities her work leaves you spellbound. This is one of my top 5 favorite photostreams on flickr. If they ever make a “quick links” tab somewhere she would be at the top. There’s so much to be seen and stories she tells in every shot. I hope I appreciate her art as much as she enjoys creating it."
