Helen Sear

Helen Sear is a British Photographer born in 1955 and her photography has developed from a Fine Art background of performance and film in the 1980's.  In 1991 she exhibited some of her photographs in De Composition an exhibition that took her photography around Latin America and Eastern Europe.  In 1993 she received an Abbey Award in Rome and went on the exhibit her work in many other countries.

Helen's Photography explores the idea of vision and represents nature through lens based media and digital technologies and manipulation.  In the images below she has taken two images one of a landscape and one of a girl she has then used digital drawing which creates an image that there is a net or veil over the top of the images.

These images show that manipulation of a photograph can create wonderful pieces of art just like that of a painter.  These images show a lovely texture which is created by the artwork within the image and the flowers over the whole of the image.  I love the way you are drawn into the image through the flowers almost as you get to see what the girl in the image sees.  The way the flowers cascade down through the image is lovely starting small at the top and becoming more noticable as they fall down into the image.

I really love these images and would really like to see them exhibited to see if they have that wow factor I imagine they would have in a gallery.

I really like the texture of this image I think it is a corn field mixed together with the beautiful red and purple flowers.  I would love to see this image full size as I think it is hard to appreciate them on a computer.
