Welcome to the galleries of janetmariephotography.com. My interest in photography is of long-standing duration. My father developed his own photos when I was growing up and I had my own camera from an early age. I studied photography/design under Derek Olphert at Auckland Teacher’s Training College in 1975-6 and had my own darkroom where I spent hours developing black and white photos.
My passion for photography has strengthened and broadened over the years and I find myself looking at the world as if through the lens of a camera constantly. I won a Nikon D70s digital SLR camera in the Paterson Burns/Waikato Times photography competition in November 2005 and have had a couple of photos published. I am an avid collector and reader of photographic books ranging from the technical side of photography through to fine art.
I have a Nikon D200 digital SLR camera now, my PC is my darkroom and photoshop is my enlarger.
I love beauty and light. I love colour and texture. I love form and composition. I love capturing all these things, in parcels of time, through the lens of my camera.
I hope you enjoy your visit as you journey through these pages ;-)
Thanks for looking...
Cheers
Jan Wolstenholme
