*****************************************************************
I've been obsessed about photography from as far back as I can remember....I have always had a camera in hand...Always seeking out and/or creating sets, settings, situations to be captured.....
Capturing moments and essences of people, places and time with my magic box is my passion...Created moments or absolutely (sur)real, I want to capture it....all of these moments in time.....
I started doing senior portraits as a sophomore in high school. I photographed my first wedding by the time I was 17. Some of my earliest dreams included me being an adventurous photographer for National Geographic, which mesmerized me as a child and still I get lost in (I have copies dating back to the 1940's) those images today....
By 18 I was bitten by the Britain Bug and was living there full time by Christmas of 1984, singing back up in a band and designing and making leather wear & adornments for the gothic at heart....
I went kicking and screaming into the digital age....A die-hard grainy, high-contrast-y sort of black and white film girl, I stumbled upon it's amazingness when called upon to do a last minute photo shoot - borrowed someone's digital camera, and by the end of the night, I was hooked....
I do still love and adore film and I have a huge project in front of me, scanning and uploading, archiving all of my film work, from my London days to today.... I'll be sharing all of that soon.....
In the mean time, I fill my time with collaging, making pretty things, seeking out new adventures of the heart, mind & soul, meeting new friends, making more art & love, creating my life........

"Penny Michelle is an incredibly creative person with an attitude that brings out the best in her subjects. I recently had a fantastic off-the-cuff photo session with my fella for some romantic shots, and it was a matter of 10 impromptu minutes in which she captured several dozen really beautiful moments. Her enthusiasm and bubbly nature really helped us to feel relaxed and comfortable. We were amazed at what she captured with such apparent ease. We never felt staged or posed or uncomfortable in any way - we just had fun and she made the magic happen!
I HIGHLY recommend her services for any occasion. She knows how to find beauty everywhere, and she knows how to coax smiles and natural joy from anyone."4th March, 2009

"I love Penny Michelle because she is one of the most wonderful human soul I've ever met...
Since we've met, she's changed my life for the best, put me on the road to recovery, helped me with her kind heart to see the beauty again...
Even through the ordeals and dark times, she's always been there for me, sharing with me her wonderful perception of the world with her kindness and love, through music, photography, arts in general...
Michelle is a really gifted artist in many ways...
Photography is one of her many talents (I also happen to love her jewelry, music...) and her gallery here shows the multiple facets of our beautiful beautiful world and of the people who live in it...
I really love the way she can capture the essence of an instant in the portraits of the people she loves.
I am also a (learning) digital photographer and she is a great inspiration to me... So well if you don't know her work yet, please enter her beautiful gallery, you will be enchanted."25th May, 2008
