About the photographer

Deborah has had a passion for story-telling through photography since she started taking pictures of her own children in 1989. She turned this passion into a successful photography business in 2012 after early retirement from a twenty-six year career with the BC Ambulance Service. While her photographic efforts have taken her everywhere from rooftops to lifeboats, the most rewarding part of her adventures has been the people she has met and the memories she has made along the way.

In her words, “I love the way a photo can elicit an emotion … often instantly. I love the way a photo can speak many different languages … all at once. I love the way a photo can take you somewhere you may not have been before … even if you were just there. And, I especially love being able to show people a little bit of the way I see the world”

Deborah created a second business when she discovered TWISTOGRAPHY© quite by accident one day while trying to straighten an image of a building. Raging-out with the ‘liquify’ tool in Photoshop, she created a ‘twisted’ image that she liked better than the real thing.

TWISTOGRAPHY© starts with a photo and, through many hours of manipulation, saturating, sharpening, and the addition of several other elements and layers, Deborah creates a whimsical and colourful image that sparks conversation and the imagination! www.twistography.ca
