Claire Sherrington Photography

Claire Sherrington Photography I am a keen artist who loves the medium of photography. I love being outside in nature, so most of my work is of New Zealand landscapes. Welcome!

I live in Waikato with my lovely partner Chris and our cat called Ansel. (yes named after Ansel Adams). I am IT professional. A long time ago I started our my career with a media arts degree, but I finished this degree when there was a recession, so there was no jobs for me in media or the art industry. Therefore I retrained in IT. This makes my photography, my artist outlet. I love being outside

in nature, so most of my work is of New Zealand landscapes.
​
I am a member of Photographic Society of NZ and currently studying Diploma in Digital Photography.

Red Tree was displayed in 2016 Laurie Thomas New Zealand Landscape Salon. Thank you to Mark Cosgrove, David Oliver and Tony Bridge to motivation, guidance and inspiration.

Well it's been awhile ...

I saw the movie 'Minamata' today. It's about PSTD affected war photographer W. Eugene (Gene) Smith, who travelled to Japan in the early '70s to document the devastating effect of mercury poisoning in coastal communities. Gene's work changed the fate of these communities for the better, but it was a long road.

This is where Gene took the most acclaimed photojournalism photo of our time, "Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath".

For me, this was a hard-hitting, passionate, but also still a relevant movie.

REVIEW: This certainly won't be enough to redeem the fallen Hollywood star, but it does give us a glimpse of a talent not yet extinguished.

Ansel is the star of show!

I have enrolled in my next digital photography diploma paper. I am feeling very rusty!

Also, I have just watched this brilliant documentary tonight about one my favourite photographers, Yousuf Karsh. He worked between 1936 to 1993 capturing the world’s most famous people.

In the collection of this legendary photographer are countless iconic photographs of people like Ernest Hemingway, Martin Luther King, Walt Disney, Einstein, JFK, Winston Churchill, and Picasso. Meet the man behind the camera: Yousuf Karsh. This film explores the multiple meanings running through th...
