Featured Artist - Alain Guillou

"My goal as a photographer is to create a body of abstract works through colour, line, and shade. Because the abstract photographs are of real-life locations, they can be viewed as puzzles. Satisfaction is gained from decoding the images and leaving the viewer in the state of interpretations."

Alain Guillou sees the world through different eyes - those that have not been distracted by our fast moving modern world. At a young age, Guillou discovered photography. His quest for the perfect image is unending. He travels the globe, driven by a vigorous determination to capture the beauty that he sees and a profound respect for architecture. As a free artist he is unpredictable; his French background and his ability to see a different world through his lenses make his photography unique. He grew up in Normandy and got his education in engineering. He is a self-taught photographer.

He exhibits his work at his studio in Cambridge, at regional show and other juried art shows.

Featured Artist - Adam Fowler

I've been drawing since I was about 5 years old, sketching Disney characters and Pokemon, now I have found a deep aspiration for Photography. I plan on going further with my Photography in the future, in hopes to Photography concerts and live shows in particular.

I enjoy taking pictures at concerts, I believe that the outcome of your photos from a concert are all up in the air at the moment when the photo is taken. When you go home and look through them, they either turn out exactly how you wanted but better, or not even close to what your vision was. It ties both of my true loves together, music and photography.

Featured Artist - WTF Photography

Laura Bauer

Once a jewellery designer, Laura switched her focus to Photography with wonderful results. Her work's first theme was architectural lettering. "What makes my designs stand out is that all the pictures making up the letters are from the [local] area - snapshots from the many churches, homes and the university"

But that wasn't enough. After racking her brain on how to get her pets to earn their keep, she realized that their quirky personality could be put to use as greeting cards with witty sayings - showing each one to be as saucy and sarcastic as the woman who owns them. Thus the division of Catty Cards was added to WTF Photography.
