Jess Calke

Jess has always had a profound love of the natural world and wherever and however she have lived, be it a confusing and resonating city centre or in the grey desolation of isolated wastelands, she has always endeavoured to find and perpetuate beauty and rhythm within her surroundings.

Recently she has arrived at the countryside and this has had a profound effect on her style of creativity. She is inspired to capture in images the essence of differing habitats and all who reside within them and she is awakened to the many hues and the clarity that nature provides.

Photography is the media which she is exploring and developing most of the time although her sketch book is never far away. Recently, she has been fascinated by scope made possible with digital art and she has been experimenting with some post production manipulation of photographs. Although it seems on the surface an easy thing to do, to learn how to use a new software package she is finding that the skill and success comes with recognising and identifying what combinations of treatments to use for which individual image.
