Angela has developed a unique style of photography. She has gradually created her own technique having been influenced by the work of Nineteenth Century photographer Fox Talbot and the botanist/photographer Anna Atkins. Her images are created without the use of a camera. Each image is dependent upon exposure, light source, humidity and, most importantly, the combination of the organic materials employed and the sensitised paper.

When combined with contemporary chemicals the plant materials generate their own particular aura of colour. There are no negatives and so reprints cannot be made. Each image is unique.

Angela is delighted to have an ongoing relationship with the Eden Project in Cornwall. She is creating images of their plants and researching leaf adaptation with their team of plant scientists. While on the site she has also created life studies of Adam and Eve. Her first attempt at photograms of the human form.

In February 2004 Angela went to the British Virgin Islands with a team from the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew led by Dr Colin Clubbe. This was part of the Darwin Initiative Conservation Project. Angela created photograms of the critically endangered plants on Anegada. The images were exhibited at Wakehurst Place until January this year.

In 2003 she went on a similar expedition to the Seychelles for the Eden Project. Images from the trips were included in the Kew/Eden stand Treasured Islands at the Chelsea Flower Show, which won the Silver Medal.
