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."

THIS IS WHAT INSPIRES YOU

I never ever do photo collectives; not usually anyway, but I was paying my favorite tumblr a visit today and couldnt help myself. Most of them are from HERS, and some are from my OWN.

Over the years I've been collecting a large amount of images, fashion, music and art related. So much that, I have aquired quite a large folders worth of just images that have inspired me. Thats part of the reason why I felt the need to start my own tumblr. But then again, I think thats really why anyone starts a tumblr. They want to share images with people all over the world. Images that mean something to each person who views them.

Its a random post. The pictures dont have much do with one another. The only thing each of them really does have in common is me. And feelings I get when I look at them.

Its hard to explain, but I feel like you guys get what Im trying to say.
