Feathers have been a part of my world since I was a little girl. I still collect them today. 🪶

Feathers have to be one of the miracles of nature.

This was one of the very first images I created, nearly 40 years ago, in the darkroom. It hangs in my private collection.

I was working with a pitch-black feather and, through a darkroom process, I was able to transform it into a white feather.

The meaning… for me… is simple.

The light will always transcend the dark… no matter what.

We have come from Source, and we will return to the Divine Source.

I have always loved this image. It sits at the very core of my work.

Birds fly because they know how to use their feathers.

This morning, I give you the gift of a white feather…🙏✨️

May it remind you that there is always light, even in the darkest of places.

THE BOAT…

An image from my Black & White range.

I find myself staring… and in the simplicity of the image, there is almost nothing to hold onto. Yet somehow, there is everything.

A deep stillness that seems to lie beneath all that is.

My eyes wander, searching, but there is nowhere to go. Nothing to do. Just stillness.

Perhaps that is what I love about photography — the ability to create a moment of pause. A moment to breathe, to become quiet, and simply be.

I hope my images bring that same sense of calm into your home.

I am grateful I have eyes to see this stunning sunrise,
feet that can feel the sand beneath them.
I am grateful for legs that can support my body as I walk today.
I can breathe the fresh air in and out as my chest rises.
I have ears that can hear the crashing of the waves.
I am not at the beach today but luckily
I have this picture that reminds us all
that life is a privilege.

Awakening through Photography - feedback from students.

Awakening through Photography - feedback from students.

' Life changing ' , was the buzz word as students from all over the world finished my online Creativity through Photography workshop recently.

For six weeks these excited students had grown, emotionally, creatively and spiritually. Their photographs reflect that growth. This was some feedback from the group.

'I look at photography differently now. I take the photographs from the heart.' - Liz

'There was no meaning to my photographs. This was like getting back into my tribe.' - Barbs

'I am in awe of creation. I have grown spirituality. I have been thinking a lot about how I can improve. Looking at the depth. I look at my photographs with a different eye. I have learnt so much.' - Monica

'It really speaks to your soul. It has been so lovely expanding and fine tuning my photography.' - Beth

'Thank you for your energy. It has given us permission to be childlike.' - Lauren

If you would like to join my next Creativity through Photography workshop starting 13 August - the sign up link is in the comments.

Thank you everyone 💓 the world is a better place because of you ❤️

Love Marlene
