HELENE SHARP

Photogrpaher, Helene Sharp, from Ottawa. These are her photos. I came across them a couple weeks ago and was quite literally blown away. I asked her a few questions about them. I wanted some insight on where her inspiration comes from. These are her answers:

"When I have my camera with me i'm usually outside being active. the photos I take are of settings I see around town and I just add people to them in my head, usually whoever i'm with at the time. I don't like to stage things too much. I like accidental and natural looking photographs. old fashioned."

"I would love to be a photographer!!! But at the moment I'm going to university for Art Ed. I see photography as a hobby, not a career just yet."

"This sounds really cheesy but when I was a kid my mom got a film camera and would let me waste film on stupid pictures of my stuffed animals or my cats or the family. I still have a photo album of them that my mom kept and they're all god awful. I guess you could say I've always loved photography."
