"Beautiful Visions" Photography by Lynne Fochs

The next exhibition at the Regent Centre, features the work of Christchurch photographer, Lynne Fochs. Her exhibition runs from Saturday 13 June – Friday 3 July and will feature over 30 examples of her work. The exhibition is entitled “Beautiful Visions” .

Lynne is a self- taught photographer, having picked up the camera for the first time only two years ago. It all started for Lynne with one of those spur of the moment trips, which in her case was to the Bournemouth beaches. Lynne decided to combine the trip out with her daughter with a little bit of creativity. With the benefit of the perfect golden lighting from the sun setting on the beach, Lynne took her first beautiful picture of a heart nestled between the stones.

Lynne liked the idea of conceptual pieces and experimented with more ideas, which resulted in some of her more ethereal pictures, such as the angels taken in the sea at Southbourne and amongst the flowers at Hengistbury Head.

Being fortunate enough to live in a beautiful place like Christchurch, where there are so many photographic opportunities, some of the best photographs often come where the subject is not planned, so always have that camera at the ready! A walk around the Quay one windy wet day, resulted in a lovely picture of a very inquisitive little duck. Another walk to Mudeford Quay resulted in an interesting picture looking through some stacked up fishing nets.

Lynne is a member of CADArts (Christchurch & District Arts Council) and has exhibited her pictures at the Hayloft Gallery in Wick Lane, Christchurch. She then went on to exhibit at the CADArts Christmas Fayre.

Lynne Fochs will be exhibiting her photography at the Regent Centre in Christchurch from Saturday 13 June – Friday 3 July.
