AN exhibition of photographs taken from around the world go on display in Okehampton on Saturday.
Okehampton photographer Anne White has put together the collection, with pictures providing variations on the theme of tone and texture.
This is the first major exhibition of Anne?s work, but she has previously produced two illustrated talks of her travels. ?Trees, temples and Taipans? captures images from New Zealand, Australia, Bali and Fiji, while ?Rockpools to Rockies? in collaboration with her husband Richard, looks at the rich and plentiful wildlife to be found on North America?s Pacific coast and inland.
Anne?s images reflect her love of travel, but it is the southwest of England that provides her greatest inspiration.
Anne?s love of photography was sparked at primary school. Several years of experience creating striking photographs has been supplemented by evening classes in black and white photography and a Field Studies Council course on natural history photography.
The photographs in this exhibition continue Anne?s desire to reflect the patterns that are there to be found in the world around us.
All of the images in the exhibition are taken as transparencies. These are then scanned to give a digital file before professional laser printing on archive quality photographic paper.
Anne uses the latest technology to allow her to produce the closest match to the colours she originally saw through the camera?s viewfinder.
Tones and Textures : an exhibition of photographs by Anne White opens at the Arts Gallery, Red Lion Yard, Okehampton and runs through until October 17.
