The Story Behind the Lens


 

It all starts with quiet moments

ABOUT MABEL

A Visual Storyteller

Photography isn't just my profession. It's a deep-seated passion that has driven me to capture the world's fleeting moments and turn them into lasting memories.

My style blends minimalism with thoughtful composition, emphasising black and white, abstracts, close-up architectural and floral photography, and environmental portraits. Each image is part of a larger narrative, spotlighting the unique beauty and essence of its subject and setting.

My professional work began in earnest after a transformative photography course in Massachusetts and Maine where I embraced the calm and mindful style that defines my work today.

My Story

A Journey Through the Lens

In the year 2000, I held my first solo exhibition, "Thru the Lens," which showcased a collection of my early works, both in color and black-and-white, taken during my travels and featuring a series of black-and-white abstracts.

This was followed in 2001 by my second exhibition, "Quiet Corners", in which I explored the serenity and understated beauty of architectural spaces and landscapes, emphasizing compositions that highlight line, form, and pattern without the distractions of crowded scenes.

My work has been recognised with international awards from the Master Photographers Association. Today, I continue to seek out the incidental beauty in quiet corners around the world, always aiming to bring out the silent stories waiting to be told.
