T H E - A R T I S T
I could never narrow my creative interests down to one area. I studied painting, photography and design and am lucky to have turned my passion into a career. Whether it be in art, design or photography, my style remains the same - simple and connected.
I see myself as an artist highlighting the beauty in life. I delight in small details that are too often overlooked- colours, textures, stolen glances, unscripted emotions. Life passes quickly and every moment is memorable - every detail passes with interest.
My photography is simply a celebration of life and aims to capture the beauty and essence of who my subjects are through details, expressions and honest interaction. There is something unexplainable about capturing a fleeting moment, a gentle embrace, a sheepish grin, or a contagious laugh. Children will grow, their innocence will fade but a photograph makes these special moments indelible.
I value the art of photography and the legacy of these timeless images. Whether it be through a dramatic set-up or a candid setting, my photographs are documents of what is real - emotions, moments, life. ~ Tara Sinclair Hingco~
