Fine Art photographer Jessica Hilltout travelled to the mysterious African island of Madagascar. The stunning results can be seen in her latest body of work, IMPERFECTION.
Beautiful colour…subtle tones….clarity of vision…all of these things attracted me to Jessica Hilltout’s IMPERFECTION series of photos. Then I realised that the photographer was someone that I went to college with. It’s interesting to see how people have progressed since that time, how their photographic vision has matured, what paths their careers have taken, what places they’ve been to.

Photographer Mark Edward Harris first caught my eye with his beautiful black and white photos of Japanese baths. The photos bought to my attention to a part of Japanese culture that previously I’d known nothing about. I liked the intimacy of the photos and wanted to learn more about the photographer who took them.
