ABOUT
Holly
Born in Edinburgh, I attended (what was then known as) Telford College in the late eighties and qualified as a graphic designer in 1996 (two years spent working as a graphic designer during this period).
​
I was always interested in photography from a young age, carrying a small 110 instamatic, and taking photos of friends and family.
​
It was only once attending college that I became more aware of taking photography more seriously in a creative direction.
​
Since then, finding out about people such as Vivien Maier and Martha Cooper, I discovered that photography didn't have to mean working in a studio or in professional journalism.
​
Street photography is as much about capturing a moment in that instance and assessing the subject, the environment and the story in the seconds you have available, before the moment has passed.
​
My graphic design work is more planned, invariably conversing a message. Again, it is personal. It might be political, social, humour, challenging, questioning.
​
Hopefully you like the work on display.
