Zara Bampton

Originally from the UK, I now live with my husband, 4 dogs and 2 cats in rural France.

I have been interested in photography for many years and now my life has slowed down, I am able to spend more time with my camera both outside and in my studio.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and medieval towns and buildings. At the weekends I like to rummage at vide greniers and brocantes on the hunt for interesting items to photograph.

I have always wanted to give my photos more of an artistic feel, but until recently I didn’t have the knowhow to do so. Towards the end of last year, I enrolled on the Photo Artistry course and then the AWAKE course and although I am still in the early stages I have started to gain sufficient skills to create digital art from my photos.
