About
Hi! My name is Holly Kempe and I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
I discovered photography after one of those life-changing experiences which left me with a need to slow down, change my lifestyle and re-assess my priorities. The sudden realisation that time is finite and something not to be taken for granted made me appreciate that I needed to spend mine more wisely and most importantly, to enjoy it.
I prefer to think of myself more as a photographic artist rather than as a photographer, by which I mean, rather than record a subject or scene with my camera I like to try and find an alternative interpretation. To try and convey what I feel rather than simply what I see. I use my camera as a medium of capture but prefer to ‘make’ images rather than just take them by simply recording what is already there. To me, the capturing of an image is just the first stage – I enjoy spending time processing, in trying to reveal the hidden depths.
This site features my personal artworks which explores my view of the world and offers my interpretation of what I see and what I feel.
I hope you enjoy it.
