Personal photographic website of Shirley Hollis ARPS AFIAP.

 

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” Ansel Adams

 
 

This is my personal website, showing images which please me and sharing a little about me and my photography.

The reason an image is pleasing to me can be for many reasons, it may have been an image I had to work hard to capture or one which I had envisaged in my mind and then was able to execute; however the thing which inspires me most is capturing that never to be repeated moment, whether is be a melting iceberg which will never be photographed in quite the same way again, the expression of a child who will grow up or those precious moments you poignantly will look back on in years to come. For me photography is not about technical excellence…although I always aim for that…but about capturing the decisive moments… as Ansel Adams would say.
