Print

I think I love this topic!  Although it has to be said that taking a photograph of a printed work of your pet and then trying to get said pet in the photograph is a little harder than you might expect.  As a Photographer who actively encourages people to print their images, I try and practice what I preach.

With our smartphones and point and shoots and mirrorless, and even DSLR’s getting easier to carry our photograph making devices.  But then what do we do with them?  What do you do with yours?  I know I kept around 12,000 photographs last year and excluding the ones I printed for clients, whats on these walls below is all I have to show off a screen.  That’s terrible – Tara, you must try harder in 2015!

When people walk into my office/studio, I’ve heard more than one exclaim “its a shrine to Nixie Lix” and yea, I guess it is!
But it also my work on offer – not just the photographs but the labs and framers I have chosen to represent me with their work, and theirs with mine.
It’s also my friend Evie Kemp‘s amazing skills up there – the beautiful portrait she did of Nixie Lix is one of my most treasured possessions.

There is an 8×10 canvas on the wall of my all time favourite one of Nix – and when I created some framed prints for the Napier Festival of Photography, there was only one choice for one of the largest pieces.

Nixie Lix modeling Collarati – and a bit of attitude.

Happy Friday y’all X
