Multi layered film image explosures taken in 1990.

I've been taking photographs since I was at college in the 90's!  Now, with over 17 years of professional experience I still enjoy the thrill that comes from capturing a truly beautiful image. I have published and licensed work across the UK and USA and have sold my Photoshop Actions and Textures to professional photographer across 35 international countries.  I've run workshops, mentored young photographers, taught and helped countless photographers with their own creative goals. Creatively paying-it-forward has been at the heart of my business, and it's honestly been the best and most rewarding part.  Sarah x

Here's a little bit more

​​Sarah studied art and photography at college, and went on to graduate in 1994 from the Nottingham Trent university with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art.  Her early career started in sales and marketing, where she was fortunate enough to work with some of the UK's leading creative agencies, such as Ogilvy One and Abbort Meads Vickers AMV.

​

In 2003 Sarah's daughter was born, and everything changed when she decided to swap her corporate career for motherhood. Sarah's son followed in 2006 and by 2007 she'd reconnected with her photography practise;  swapping a darkroom for a desktop and film for pixels.  By the summer of 2008 Sarah shot her first solo wedding and went on to set up her own wedding and portrait business by the end of that year.

​

Working digitally allowed her to experiment with new processing ideas, such as layering images and digital textures together. Drawing on her interests as a fine art graduate she quickly developed her own unique digital textures for use in her photography practise..​​​

Sarah's work continued to grow in popularity on social media and caught the eye of American publishers, Focal Press (Elsevier). They commissioned a photography 'how-to' book about Sarah's background influences, photographic practices and most importantly her processing methods. Selling since 2012 the book continues to offer, those interested in working with digital textures, a comprehensive understanding of how to create and apply them in Adobe Photoshop.
