Mandy Brannan
My original idea was to revisit the art of photography to find a way of combining the images with handmade paper. In the process I found myself drawn to taking photographs with a passion. The result is that my images have multiple uses. The original photographs can be framed, and then I also crop, manipulate and tint the images in the dark room.
I am always on the look out for subjects that have similar elements – texture, line and details that pull the viewer in for a closer look.
