“People tend to look at photographs too quickly, superficially. They make assumptions of familiarity. I want to slow the viewer down to appreciate in more detail the beauty of the natural world. We see the world in pieces and put it together in our imagination - a new reality. Each time we look, the fragments reconstitute themselves with subtle differences, a second look nuanced with small changes.”
~ Brigitte Carnochan
Brigitte Carnochan could have easily flourished as a great 19th Century artist. She is a timeless classicist in the sense of someone who can rely on her own innate artistic skills and talent with no need to embrace modern technology to create something truly sublime. She creates because she has to. It is in her soul and her gracious approach to life and her sensitivity to nature around her.
In an era where everyone can and often claims to be a photographer she is an endangered species. She is one of the most talented and dedicated artists I have ever met. To be in her presence is a gift. She is authentic and humble. She is not afraid to embrace beauty as you can see in these pages. She makes it her testament.
