Wild Frontiers

Caroline Guinan
Caroline is a photographer that narrates her story using light. She mainly focuses on Landscape and Wildlife photography having a preference towards black and White images. She has travelled extensively and creates images that have an emotional appeal to the viewer.
This is the all-encompassing element and focus of her work and has inspired her to pursue this art. The emotional connection to a scene is utmost to her work and she aspires to translate that raw emotion into her photographs. In return this creates a scene with which the viewer can engage with what they see.
The exhibition:
This series ‘Wild Frontiers’ was created to present and celebrate the natural habitat and beauty of our wildlife and landscape. The images were taken in Tanzania in the Serengeti National Park and in the Ngorongoro Crater.
The Serengeti National Park is a world Heritage site, one of the last few natural wonders on earth. This is a place I longed to visit and hope to return soon.
David Attenborough documentaries always leave me in awe and draw me to that fantastical natural world that we have. My love of the outdoors, nature, wildlife, and the landscape have furthered my journey with photography.
Our planet is so precious and fragile. The challenges presented by climate change are having such a devastating impact on the lives of existence of so many species that we share our natural world with.
I hope this series of photographs from ‘Wild frontiers’ showcases what we have now, and it is my hope to honour and embrace it.
