Photography = Passion
“Those who find beauty in a landscape do so because it touches a place of beauty already within themselves.” Courtney Milne (mentor).
Courtney has had a profound influence on my passion as a photographer, a passion that has spanned 30 plus years. As an Honourary Life Member of the Brandon Camera Club, I have learned that the photographic journey never ends and that there are so many exciting avenues within this medium to explore.
Artistic Creative Photography is my true passion and I have been told that “I see with my heart.” My camera allows me, to hopefully allow you, to see, feel and embrace that connection as well. To see, to photograph and then to create - that is the passion of the challenge. Will my final image be what I had envisioned? Whether it be scenics, still-life, nature, abstract or portrait, it is all a creative art form to me.
I have displayed in several Galleries in the Westman Region and have done commercial assignments for magazines, businesses and websites.
Marlene makes her home in the Hamiota, Manitoba district in SW Manitoba.
