    You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.

    This portrait has always intrigued me with its ingenious composition and execution. Captured for Vanity Fair in 1997, it features a young Leonardo DiCaprio, his neck entwined with a swan. Some critics find this photograph rather eerie, even morbid, but I see it as…Read More

About Me

Helen Bissett

Part time photographer

My photography journey started with my Husband insisting on buying himself a camera. I was not convinced that he would make the most out of this expensive camera. I was pleasantly surprised by his passion for photography. He just simply had an amazing natural talent!

It was not long after, that my husbands passion-bug caught me. From not being interested in taking photos, to having my own camera and equipment.

My journey as a photographer has started. I intend on making every opportunity available for me to grow and develop my skills. I believe my genre will reveal itself.
