Felicity Somerset - Photography and Greeting Cards
profile
I am a fine art photographer based in Toronto. My photographic subjects are often, but not exclusively, drawn from landscape and nature in both Canadian and international locations including England, the United States, and Costa Rica. I am interested in the intimate and often abstracted image that captures the essence and intricacies of rural and urban landscapes, and that often marks the impact of time on context, surface and identity.
