This is the serendipitous journey of a female photographer unveiling beauty in all her disguises. Canning is noted for saying that sometimes she finds the pictures, but quite often they find her. Her mission is to go beyond the veil to reveal the beauty that is hidden in plain sight. Canning’s vision when creating an image is based on sharing our "Beautiful Whirled" as she sees it: through the prism of optimism, lit by hope, inspired by awe, and ruled by beauty.
Her belief is that when we commune with beauty, we touch the Divine. Her typical subjects include seascapes, landscapes, & architecture. Canning is mostly self-taught. Long exposure is her preferred technique. She says this is because it provides a photographic record of something that lies somewhere beyond “real life”.
Photographing the fourth dimension (time) allows her to transport the viewer to a world between worlds. Canning has been published in numerous magazines, won awards, sold to collectors and the hospitality industry. She was born in Trinidad, and I grew up in St. Thomas USVI. She has lived all over the world, and I now resides in Coconut Creek, Florida. www.sandracanning.com
