Ginny Fobert, Photography as Art

Once told that photography was not art, Ginny Fobert believes that a photograph is made, not taken. It is made in your own mind and with your own eye, and can indeed be art! Ginny is primarily a self-taught photographer whose goal is to bring her photography further into the art world using unique photographic techniques.  ‘To me, it seems limiting to only photograph the world in one way. Photography allows me to get outside the box, be a bit rebellious, break some rules and get away with it.'
