Suella Holland
You don't
take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.

Suella
has
worked
primarily
with SX70 Polaroid film for many years, creating impressionistic images
through emulsion manipulation
but due to the cessation of its production Suella
has had to change the medium in which she has been working
and
has moved on to the ‘new’ instant imaging which is digital photography.
Rather than use imaging software to create impressionistic images Suella
is constantly on the lookout for naturally occuring
abstract images and intriguing viewpoints which still have an
dreamlike, secretive
feel
and quality to them,
that which
is seen and unseen.
Suella
Holland graduated from DIT School of Photography in 1993 and ran her own
photography business for a number of years. This work led her to the
publishing/design industry and she now works at The Gallery Press in
County Meath. She is chairperson of Meath Arts Group and designed and
maintains their website.
