About me and my photography
work |
|
| |
|
|
| |
My name is Sarah Bird.
I am a freelance female photographer from Brighton, East Sussex with
a passion for all things artistic! |

My love of photography stemmed from
my family - who always seemed to share the same love of photographing
as I do. At the age of 17, I bought my first SLR camera and went off
to college to study photography and media - specialising in black
& white printing techniques, studio, macro and advertising photography
and film. I gained experience helping at a local newspaper in their
photographic department, assisting a local portrait photographer and
also working at Pinewood Photographic Department developing images
taken on film sets and promotional film photos. |

In 1998, I went to work at Scanit
Ltd - a company specialising in graphics and high-res image scanning
and manipulation for magazines. It was there that I developed my skills
using Photoshop, Illustrator and the emerging internet - designing
web sites and learning to use Flash. |
|

| |
After realising I could be creative
on the computer - my interests deviated into computer animation &
I went off to Bournemouth University to study Computer Visualisation
and Animation. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
After my degree and working a stint
in London at a computer animation company - I moved to Brighton and
set up AnimNation Ltd - a 2D/3D computer animation company. |

Brighton has become an ever increasing
source of inspirational for me. And it was after a short Creative
Photography course through Evolution Arts and purchasing a new Nikon
digital SLR camera that I realised I still had that desire to photograph. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Since then - I have been out and about
around Brighton, France, Spain, Switzerland and Scotland taking pictures
of anything that has taken my eye! I have developed a great interest
in portraiture, fashion and landscape photography. I take inspiration
from many famous photographers such as Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange,
Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Annie Leibovitz...and
from the not so famous - good ol'Flickr! |

My aim for 2007 isl to host my first
photography exhibition. I am also working on a collaborative digital
photography exhibition as part of the Brighton Digital Festival through
Wired Sussex. More information to follow... |
