Artist's Statement

Alice’s photographic practice tends to revolve around the two main elements of garden and floral photography and the genre of fine art. These elements interweave with images of places Alice has visited to create a collection of images involved with aestheticism and beauty.
Alice’s images focus on the ‘found’. they are natural and not usually preconcieved, produciing a snapshot of a place of moment in time Alice has found to be beautiful.
When photographing personal work Alice becomes immersed in the world around her and uses her camera to capture there moments and places.
She finds solace and comfort in producing these images and it acts as a theraputic practice, resulting in images reflecting the comfort she finds in these surroundings.
Continuing the process by surrounding herself with these images in her own home. A constant reminder of the beauty in the world. 
Alice enjoys using old photographic techniques such as film processing and using the darkroom. She always uses film for personal work and enjoys using slightly unusual cameras such as disposable and lomography alongside her collection of vintage cameras.
Alice's commercial practice deals with the same subject matter but is dealt with in a different photographic way. Alice shows her technical skills and nearly always uses film, capturing large amounts of detail with control over levels of focus.
