First Light - Budapest 5 - Limited Edition of 12 Print

Confucius said “There is beauty in everything, but not everyone can see it.” Coralie Sneddon sees it. Coralie is a fine art photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. She has spent the last 22 years living in many different countries, capturing their people and places while immersing herself in their cultures. Her love of photography began in childhood via a bright pink disc camera, and while working in the corporate world in Egypt many years later she realised that creating images was all she wanted to do. She completed her Certificate in Professional Photography at the National College of Photography in Pretoria, South Africa. After several years working as a freelance portrait photographer she decided to focus on her real passion - elevating the ordinary. Using a combination of digital and analogue photography, alternative photographic processes, and all manner of art supplies and creative tools, she creates works that are destined to bring that inherent beauty of everyday things to the viewer. Much like herself, each of her pieces has a journey to complete. Usually it starts and ends with the camera, but anything can happen in between. Along the way Coralie guides the subject to reveal its full potential.
