Biography: Sabrina's obsession with photography began after the purchase of her first digital SLR in September 2007. However, Sabrina has always enjoyed creating art in some shape or form and has previously dabbled in drawing, illustration, web and graphic design, becoming intimately familiar with Adobe Photoshop and experimenting with composition and colour theory before picking up photography as a hobby.

Over the last year and a half, Sabrina has had the pleasure of working on production stills for a short film, a couple of fashion shows, a wedding, promotional photographs for a theatre production, many portraits, personal projects and collaborations with a handful of models, make-up artists and hair stylists in Perth.

From September 2007, Sabrina juggled photography research and experimentation alongside full-time work. This year, she has returned to university for full-time study, beginning a second bachelor's degree. She hopes to acquire a film camera this year and focus more on a journalistic, documentary style that will work better with her intense course load.

Searching

Ann put together the outfit from her wardrobe, I armed myself with a remote trigger and flash, and we went on our way to the jetty. We were lucky to have such a stunning sunset that day.

I used Photoshop to bring out the pretty colours and give the shot a bit of a retro feel. This is one of my earlier pieces, about three months into my photography obsession. I have always loved to digitally post-process, a subtle colour theme injects a sense of the surreal into a photograph and brings out particular emotions.
