	Like most people, we have always had cameras, but didn't start to take a serious interest in photography until the early 90’s. After a long and hard apprenticeship our photography started to take shape until we suddenly found our work being regularly accepted into national and international exhibitions. It was at this point I decided to turn our hobby into a commercial venture and now our work can be found in several galleries and is also being accepted in magazines. After years of colour work, we have discovered an interest in monochrome photography and find that monochrome has given us a new direction and enthusiasm for our photography. We specialise in similar but subtlety different styles of photography which includes a mixture of both colour and monochrome landscape photographs, plus a selection of creative images of the natural world which express each photographer’s artistic impression of their subject.
TRACEY PHILLIPS CPAGB
	Tracey is a professional photographer working from her Gallery and Studio based at her home in the village of Nunnington. Tracey’s progress has been nothing short of amazing in the little time she has been involved in her new career. She was recently interviewed for an article in the national publication, ‘Journal’. Much was written about Tracey’s success, including the following, ‘It’s mid-winter and snow has fallen so thick and fast overnight that the fields have turned into a soft white wasteland. Only hedgerows and skeletal trees are silhouetted against slate grey skies. The snow, deep enough to bury fences, absorbs every noise except for the crunch of Tracey Phillip’s footsteps and the staccato crackle of her camera shutter. Muffled up in winter thermals, designer glasses flashing red against the brilliant white landscape, Tracey cuts a striking figure, yet it’s on mornings like this that the photographer is in her element. While the rest of the world pushes deeper into its bed covers, Tracey is striding into the wilderness in search of her next picture. A single tree reaching for the skies; a lone sheep licking ice from a field bath; a drift of snow resting against a gate. The simpler the subject, the more striking her results. And it is these stunning photographs of York-shire’s bleakest landscapes which have earned Tracey national recognition as one of the finest ‘snappers’ in her field. Shortly after turning a lifelong hobby into a profession, two of Tracey’s pictures were short-listed for Landscape Photographer of the Year, the international competition run by the ‘AA’ and the ‘Times’ newspaper.’
