About Maryann
CREATIVITY IS THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE OUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF OTHERS.
Creativity is the only way to change our future and the future of others.
My photography is driven by a profound desire to capture the narrative essence of my subjects, often drawn to provocative and intellectually challenging themes.
Recently, I embarked on a freelance project, creating a series of portraits that delve into the intricacies of perception and reality. With raw honesty and poignant gravity, I fearlessly explore hidden illness, loss, difficulties, and obsession, inviting viewers to confront these themes head-on.
I have a deep fascination with the analogue process and traditional methods, which leads me to diversify my craft and experiment with the alchemy of chemical processes. I welcome commissions from individuals and the commercial sector, utilizing my visionary perspective and exceptional skills to create breathtaking images that leave a lasting impact. From the beginning to the end, I prioritize delivering a thoroughly professional, friendly, and contemporary service that ensures my clients’ utmost satisfaction.
Based in based in Cornwall , I find inspiration in the distinct landscapes, people and atmospheres this region offers, enriching my artistic practice with its unique character. Currently, I’m fully engrossed in creating a series of wet plate collodion portraits and eagerly anticipating their upcoming publication.
While I find immense fulfillment in immersing myself in the darkroom and the art of portraiture, I also seek solace in capturing the dramatic beauty of landscapes.
