Linda Wride has been a member of Fotoblur since July 31, 2009.
I have taken photographs since I was a child, and still retain a child-like passion, enthusiasm and delight in exploring what photography has to offer and what I can offer photography. I use the camera as a channel to communicate visually and treat every day as a new photographic adventure.
My portfolio is diverse, however, there are strong themes underpinning my approach - a love of shape, pattern and form which often produces images with a strong graphic quality, and the desire to convey a mood or feeling using processing techniques to create the image I see in my mind’s eye.
Public recognition of my work, including awards, exhibitions and publication, has helped me make the transition from someone who takes photographs to thinking of myself a photographer. Fotoblur has been a major springboard in this process of transition - thank you!
