Theresa Best

I am endlessly inspired by the world around us, finding beauty in the moments that often go unnoticed. My work is rooted in the details—those small, fleeting instances that might be overlooked by the casual observer. I photograph a variety of subjects, but my passion lies in nature and forgotten places. In nature, I capture the delicate, transient beauty of flowers, the way sunlight filters through the leaves, or the silent majesty of a single tree. In abandoned places, I find a different kind of beauty—the remnants of forgotten times, structures left to decay, and how nature quietly takes over. Whether it’s an abandoned roller coaster or the morgue of a forgotten hospital, I want viewers to see a hidden world, one that reveals the passage of time and the resilience of nature.

My process is often spontaneous, capturing moments as I find them, though I also occasionally set up shots to focus on specific themes. Through my photography, I hope to encourage others to pause, to appreciate the small wonders around them, and to see the beauty in both the natural and the forgotten.
