Hey my name is Jamie Shannon and im originally from Manchester but im currently living in the Netherlands and photography has been my passion for a long time now.
The first time I tried to capture something that inspired me and then developed and printed it myself, I knew that photography was something that would never leave me. The world around us presents a fantastic array of opportunties to photograph truly beautiful things. You don't have to travel great distances to experience these either. There might be something happening as soon as you step out your door in the morning,its just being able to 'see' it. It might not make for a beautiful photograph in the conventional sene of the word but every picture tells a story. Sometimes you'll wait for a picture to unfold in front of your eyes whilst other times its a spontaneous response to an event. Both tell a story, but its about what you want to convey in that photograph that hides the real message and that is what is important after all. I strive, in my pictures, to convey what it was like to be there at that moment. I want to be transported back to that time and place in order to really feel and appreciate the surroundings or event that took place. Our eyes are our windows to the world and although nothing can really capture on film what it was like to experience something in life we still try my hardest to capture it.
