BIOGRAPHY

A photographer with no art background, unable to draw or paint, photography was going to be a good way of expressing my art vision and creativity by using the nature and the urban environment around.

​

Gachou walks, looks, sees, stops and photographs!

​

I enjoy discovering the unpredictable in nature and urban environment.  The images presented here, are illustrating my point very distinctly.  My photography has a quirky appearance as well as a creative approach.  

​

 "Guildford Photographic Society" a camera club I joined in 2013 and have exhibited with GPS in their biennial exhibition at various venues, Guildford House Gallery 2016, at Guildford Institute 2018 and Guildford Cathedral 2022

​

The kiln Photo Studio in Badshot Lea in Surrey where I am a member  since 2017 and I take part in any exhibitions organised such as: SAOS (Surrey Artitst Open Studios) always in the first two weeks of June.  Also exhibited at the Farnham Pottery Centre and Institute of Guildford. 

​

In 2018 " Digitali" a group of four keen photographers decided to  exhibit  together. Digitali had their first exhibition in January 2019 at the Institute of Guildford and in November 2019 at Farnham Pottery Centre.

​

"Guildford Arts" invited me to exhibit with six other artists in 2019.  And again in April 2022 with another artist at the Institute of Guildford.

​

A member of the U3A Photography Group for which I run photoshoot outings and give some advice to new members.  I also do a review of photos to help anyone to take better images.

" To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place...
I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them "
