A Year In The Life Of Kew Gardens

My editor Anne used to produce the Kew diary every year. She suggested I do a book on the gardens. It was a year of privilege having a pass to go into the gardens any time I liked to take photo’s of this wonderful place. I went in one summer morning at 5.30am after a thunder storm. It was steaming and magical like a tropical island, green and lush and one of my best memories. For this book I did a lot of macro photography using especially a 110mm macro lens. I was inspired and influenced by the fabulous plant photography of Sue Bishop.

About Joanna

As long as I can remember I have loved art and photography. Growing up as an only child I would spend hours drawing and moved onto photography when I left home. For years I worked as a physiotherapist just photographing my favourite things when I got the chance. I have created many scrapbooks over the years and was doing one on Richmond Park for my sons for when they left home. A friend commented that I should try and get it published. The rest as they say is history. A Year In The Life Of Richmond Park was published in 2000 and a whole new career opened up before me. I have subsequently had a further 7 books published. The most recent A Year In The Life Of Kingston Upon Thames being published in 2017. It has been a pleasure to combine my hobby with my work and I feel very privileged and lucky to have been able to make a living out of something that I love doing.
