A Thousand Words: Cynthia O’Connor.
The Africa Collection:
Cynthia’s lifelong love of elephants has taken her to Africa twice. Documenting the condition
that this magnificent species faces as the poaching crisis as well and the environmental
issues threaten to cause the species to become extinct has been my motive behind
these photographs. She is determined to educate and inspire others to support the
organizations that are actively saving the victims and the orphans that are left behind
The Abstract Collection:
Multiple exposure photography (produced in the camera, not digitally created) is the
most challenging and genuinely creative pursuit she has undertaken. To capture two or
three images almost simultaneously that have a subtle synchronicity, and then uniting
them into one brings so much joy. ICM photography (Intentional Camera Movement) is the art of moving the camera or lens while capturing the image… They add movement and drama to what otherwise maybe be ‘just another photograph’.
The Classics:
Cynthia says “I always carry my camera with me and have as long as I can remember. I don’t think I can look out my window or walk down the street and not have something reach out to me and I must capture it. This collection are photographs that have stood the test of time. They have been loved and collected for many years and have won numerous awards.
