ALL ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Sarah Gardner 

I'm a professional photographer, author, artist and all round creative thinker with over 16 years of professional experience.

I live in a former Kiln Keepers cottage in the heart of Buckinghamshire, England. Across the lane from my garden gate are paddocks the Grand Union Canal and a pretty orchard. I have a deep rooted connection with English flowers that's been with me since my childhood.  Having now established a garden full of seasonal tulips, roses and meadow flowers I enjoy photographing what I grow.  I gain a deep sense of joy from preserving the beauty of flowers in photographic form and sending my work out into the world for others to enjoy.  

Established in 2008

RESOURCES FOR CREATIVES

What to learn more about creating beautiful elegant photography?


Looking to learn?


As a professional photographer I offer several ways you can learn with me. Firstly my Creative Publications offer a month-by-month inspirational approach to creating your own work as well as small projects and Photoshop tutorials. 

You can also purchase my book, Art Beyond the Lens to journey through Textures and how they can transform photographic images into art.




Looking for editing resources?

If you work in Photoshop then you can purchase any of my Beyond the Lens Action Collections or Textures. Both will take your photographic work beyond what the camera alone can achieve, giving you creative, flexible, professional results.
