Prints with Claire Carroll<\/h2>\n

Claire started photography with a Brownie Starmite at the age of eight. Photography formed a small part of her BA(Hons) in Fine Art and she has been shooting ever since. However, only in the last few years has she chosen to approach it in a more “professional” way.<\/p>\n

Wildlife photography is her passion with a preference for birds but joining NVPS and being part of a wider community of photographers has prompted an interest in other subjects and a desire to experiment with different styles and techniques.\u00a0 Her mind is more art than science and technically she finds all aspects of photography a challenge!\u00a0 She is extremely grateful to her friends at NVPS who have taught her so much and given invaluable support and encouragement over the last two years.<\/p>\n

Claire shoots Canon and her favourite piece of equipment is the 100-400 L lens.<\/p>\n

Claire is also an actress and has had various roles in theatre and film over the last 15 years.\u00a0 Her most notable, and long running, performance is as a talking portrait in Hogwarts at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Orlando.\u00a0 She has written and produced her own one woman show, Beef Encounter, which she has performed at various theatre festivals in the USA and UK.<\/p>\n

She is married to the long suffering Steve, who is a Commander in the Royal Navy.
\nClaire has had images juried in to Nature Visions, Vienna Arts Society and The Art League at the Torpedo Factory.\u00a0 Four images were selected as finalists in the Homage to Winogrand contest judged by Ksenya Gurshtein, Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow, Department of Photographs, National Gallery of Art.<\/p>\n
