Rachael Harling, Artist of the Week - Landscape and urban

As well as focussing on portraiture, Rachael also works with landscapes and more urban scenes. Her desaturation of colour emphasises the shapes of the image, which are as powerful and engaging as the detail of the subject. Here are three we particularly enjoy from her Shed Portfolio - enjoy!

Across the River

Beauty in Decay

Boats in Lyme

Artist of the Week: Rachael Harling

Taylor, by Rachael Harling

Rachael Harling is our Artist of the Week this week! A Lyme Regis based photographer, Rachael specialises in portraiture. She introduces herself here, and we will be showcasing her most recent work a little later in the week. Enjoy!

I fell in love with photography a long time ago when my dad gave me an old camera that belonged to his father, I carried it around with me shooting anything and everything that caught my eye. 

I enjoy all types of photography but my passions are in portraiture, I aim to capture unique, natural and candid images, which show the subjects personality and captures special moments creating lasting memories.

I am available for commissions.

Rockout, by Jules McDonald

There is always an element of anticipation before a kids shoot as you are usually dealing with an unknown quantity. This is what gives you the buzz and possibly the headache! It's when you find your in one of those moments when there is almost a stillness, everything comes together and you know that you have the shot, it can last for a moment or a few minutes, possibly depending on the age of the sitter or just pure luck! A simple prop, colour or texture can suddenly add another dimension or an added interest making the shot your own. I love working within a studio, years of art direction have left me with a love of working within a controlled environment letting the kids give you the energy and unpredictability.
