My website is www.photomuso.co.uk pop by if y'fancy

I love both black and white film and digital work - mostly seascapes, landscapes and nature - and I love my black and white cat even more!

Please, do ask me first if you want to use any of my photographs - that includes you, dog-selling-bloggers.
Some of my music tracks can be found on my website too.
You can hear one of my songs here, called Saved and another original song called
Caught Up In Your Waves
Thanks for dropping by and continuing to support and inspire me.
Framed prints are exhibited and on sale at the Gift Shop at www.bedesworld.co.uk/

Testimonials (4)

:-Duncan says:

"There is so much to admire in this stream, I love the sense of colour, but what constantly impresses in K*aren's eye for high drama in stormy skies. Her landscapes always feel like a breath of fresh air to me.

truly inspiring work, I would thoroughly recommend staying a while and enjoying her stream as a slideshow."

nlwirth says:

"I find it hard to believe that I am the first person to write a testimonial about the wonderful talents of K, talents that manifest themselves in the sweeping dark tones of her landscapes and seascapes and the mellifluous melodies of her ethereal voice. Working with both film and digital cameras, K explores the crash of waves; the flow of the tides in all of their grand repetitions; the wistfulness of passing clouds; the melancholy beauty of the lonely tree lost in a sweeping landscape; the solid, quiet beauty of rocks by the sea and the road; the lovely stateliness of horses; the glory of the day's end resplendent in its majestic colors; the grainy tones of the everyday; and the time stopping wonderment of a long exposure.

In addition to her photographic and musical talents, K is also a kind, witty and generous human being! Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful work with us, K!"

"I cannot believe know one has written a testimonial before – Karen always delivers an impeccable image with such feeling and sense of movement and life despite the darkness of black & white.
Thank you for sharing these images with us on Flickr"

H. A. Tlamatini says:

"Along the way I have heard from some photographers that 'one does not take a photograph…rather one asks, quietly, to borrow it...' K.Arran’s work has me constantly reflecting on those words. K.Arran’s skills allow the viewer to feel like we are there….we are drawn into the frame to then wish we could be able to borrow it (i.e., represent it technically), to then be able to show it to the world as well as she does."
