What does Emily Carr have to do with Photography?
Emily Carr, perhaps more than any artists, was able to capture the true essence of our local west coast rain forest. Take time to visit the Vancouver Art Gallery to see her work for yourself. As photographic artists we work with light and shadow and form the same as Emily Carr. If you really study her work she can teach you how to really look and then compose your images. Click on the image and the links below to see and read more about her. Look at her works from 1929 - 1942.
