Hi, I'm Janette. I was born in England and moved to New Zealand in July 2003. A very big move to the other side of the world, having never visited New Zealand before.... and I am happy to say I love New Zealand... this is my home!!

 

I have loved taking photographs all of my adult life, it was only in 2012 that I ventured on a new journey. I wanted to take my photography to the next level...

 

I wanted to learn more about photography, learn new skills and take beautiful images, I could share...

 

So, with that in mind; I decided it was time to study photography, I wanted more, so I enrolled on a course. I graduated in September 2013, gaining a 'Diploma in Professional Photography'.

 

I love my new found skill, my passion for photography had increased... but I still had so much more to learn. So I enrolled on another course and I gained an 'Advanced Diploma in Photography' [in May 2014].

 

I love photography, my once dream... is now a reality!!!!

​

My Passion is nature... more specifically... I LOVE FLOWERS! I love nothing more than getting up close with my macro lens and getting all those details! I don't have a particular style. When I see a flower, I see what I see in my mind and what the finished image will look like.

 

So sometimes, you may see a very sharp image, with every single detail of a beautiful flower petal... other times I see soft and dreamy, and that's what you'll get!!

 

Over the last few months I have been creating surrealism pieces. I love how my creativity has changed directions. 

​

I currently have an exhibition at the Turner Centre, Kerikeri, Northland, New Zealand.
