GERALDINE BURNS FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Geraldine loves to capture landscapes, seascapes, and nature – working in both digital and film mediums. She has a ‘quiet eye’ – perhaps catching the light cast upon an object, the dew on a leaf, or mist rolling in…
Her style, often described as being poetic – captures a mood and sense of ‘being there’. Geraldine predominantly photographs Whaingaroa, Raglan – her favourite place – raw and rugged, its moody winters, the often empty spaces and everchanging views. She is now also leaning into cityscapes – with architecture and structure appearing in her work. Geraldine is also exploring an abstract approach – sometimes by cropping or rotating the image to give another perspective.
She thoughtfully curates her work into collections and has held many exhibitions over the years and is available for commissions.
As a graphic designer, this influences Geraldine’s photography style – composition, angles, shadows and textures are all apparent in her work. She carefully crops the frame while shooting the photograph, Geraldine leaves her photographs as raw as possible, with little or no adjustments to the image – returning to film photography demonstrates this practise even more so.
‘I just love taking photos, it’s what makes me happy. I love to share what I see, how I view the world.’ Te tuhi me te marama – drawing with light.
