about me

Polly A Baldwin BA Hons

My aim is to produce lifestyle documentary photographs for people that show their characters and capture how they feel for a moment in time to ‘capture their experience’ and enrich their family albums with forever memories.

I graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1999 with an honors degree in Fine Art Photography. This classical film photography training enhanced my love of light and opened my eyes to the world around me. Ever since my farther gave me my first SLR 35 mm camera for my 14th Birthday I have been making both documentary and experimental artworks that sometimes push our understanding of a subject and other times simply record the subject or moment in it's own beauty. My classical training gave me experience and understanding of light and traditional image manipulation that those who have only known digital photography may find difficult to understand. I now work mostly in digital format and use the best Canon equipment and lenses and several processing programs to ensure my images are the best quality possible.

I am a member of the SWPP (The Association for Professional Wedding and Portrait Photographers) and abide by their professional code of conduct. I have had my travel images published and had exhibitions in several galleries and public spaces over the years. I have also created bespoke artworks for a number of diverse clientele.
