Deborah is a family and commercial photographer with a business established over 20 years. Her work is commissioned by national and international businesses and publications, and she has photographed some wonderfully interesting people and events.

Deborah’s Fine Art Prints are all about her love of the local landscape and the way it makes her feel. She is not seeking simply to record a place, but to capture something of what it feels like to be there - light is important, but so too is finding its atmosphere, texture, memory and mood.

Some of these photographs are constructed from multiple layers of images and textures collected directly from the environment. Fisherman’s Keep - ‘A Starry Night’, Tide’s Retreat and Fisherman’s Keep - ‘Day’, for example, are layered photographs from Lyme Regis, combining sand, stone, sea, scenes, boat hulls, seagulls and peeling paint, allowing these fragments of the landscape to merge and form something new.

The Woodcutter’s Cabin was created in a similar way, using photographs and textures gathered while walking around the local village of Merriott. Evoking a warm and cozy scene, enticing the viewer to visit a place where they can be still and contemplative, and find time to sink into thoughts.

Other works are more traditional photographic studies. The Frost of Herne Hill was taken on a cold morning during lockdown, when the familiar landscape took on a strangely quiet and otherworldly quality. The still, muted greens of the frozen grass and the crisp autumnal colours of the woodland became as important to the image as the hill itself.

Ossin’ to Slart, photographed at Ham Hill, captures the Somerset landscape beneath unsettled skies. The title comes from a phrase Deborah’s grandmother used when the sky looked as though it was trying to rain. The 'Ossin' as in 'oss thi self' meaning 'get going' and 'slart' meaning anything where some liquid is involved such as a 'slart' of vinegar on thi' chips... a splash… A small piece of family language that felt perfectly suited to the mood of the photograph.
