I’m Lauren Shields, a photography student based in the Peterborough area. This page displays my main passion, photography - id love to know your opinion on it!
'Photography is my window and my opportunity to let the butterflies in my stomach fly free.'
'I see photography as an art - not just recording what I see. '
Henri Cartier-Bresson once said - ‘For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously’.
..Which i agree with, for me the camera is exactly that - a sketch book.
'I’ve always loved art and photography; it’s a way to escape from the world, or to completely confront it.'
My main way of getting my photography seen is through my Myspace page (I also use flickr), which I set up in February 2006 to see if people would like my work. From there it’s grown, allowing me to progress and improve, which I will continue to do.
In a few years time, id love to say that id had many exhibitions, more published work and had published a book full of my work.
