My Creative Images

Promoting Digital Photo Artistry and Digital Photography

Clare Barton

I live in the city of Nottingham in the UK. It all started around 1998 when one day I decided that I needed something in my life to take my mind into a place where I could feel relaxed and enjoy being creative, so I bought myself a SLR film camera. I went to college and did a course in photography where I learned how to do B&W film and prints in the darkroom. Later as digital photography progressed I bought myself my first DSLR camera. Then I began to enjoy my colour.

It wasn’t long until I got my first modern computer and started editing my photos in photoshop. I like books so I bought 2nd hand ones about how to use photoshop and a camera more creatively. I soon realised that I really liked creating photo montages with my images, and as I’ve always felt that my photos needed something extra to make them work better, so when I came across Sebastian Michaels Photoshop Artistry & Awake courses I immediately knew that this was for me.

I like to photograph old buildings, historical or abandoned, I take urban landscapes and street photography too. In contrast I take pictures of flowers, details in nature, changing seasons, birds and animals. Now I’m looking forward to the rest of my photo-artistic life.
