I moved to California from Canada in the late '90's and the colours of this lush landscape never cease to inspire me. I primarily photograph plants and landscapes, but I can be inspired by anything, including people and animals. To me a photograph is just the beginning of a work of art and I love to bring out the feeling of a subject through textures, layers and manipulations. Sometimes I use black & white either to create a mood or to enhance the emphasis on the form of the subject. I also professionally restore old photographs and can be contacted by email for any requests in this regard.
My work is also available on Redbubble.com: www.redbubble.com/people/ellcot
