Bio

My passion is architecture - the buildings around us inspire my pictures. My choice of architecture exemplifies a point and time in the history of our cultural heritage. I capture the natural colours, and let light bring out the tones that make up the patterns in the structure. I let the architecture dictate the treatment of the photograph.

Customers have variously described my pictures as contemporary, timeless and having a fanciful optimism. They share with me the enjoyment of the character and beauty of our man made surroundings.

From my original photography I manipulate the photograph using computer software depending on the effect that I want to achieve and that suits the architecture. The image created is a representational artwork unlike a photograph.

My love of creating art has been around for as long as I can remember. In my teens I experimented with a wide variety of mediums including textiles and graduated from Harrow School of Art. I have worked for brochure publishers specialising in contemporary interiors while pursuing my art. My love of architecture combined with developments in digital technology inspired me to develop my photographic skills and create art from architecture. I have been creating photographic art as a professional since 2002.

Pictures are limited edition prints of 250.

My pictures sell via galleries, retailers and via this web-site. I welcome talking to customers in new locations with suggestions for pictures of landmarks local to their area.

If you have any questions about prints not covered in the sales info section, want to talk about pictures of your local area or just want to say 'hi', email me at sue@vanillawhite.com

I am happy to link in with groups concerned with the preservation of important buildings, and on request may give permission for use of my images to help conservation and to promote awareness.
