Tallulah is a professional photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Her interest in photography dates as far back as her early childhood when she delighted in being on both sides of the lens. She made her first steps towards realising her dream in 1985 when she graduated in Communication Studies, specialising in photography, from Aberdeen College in Scotland. She has since studied photography in London, Tokyo and Vancouver, thus combining photography with her other great passion, travel.

Tallulah's first move was from Scotland, the country of her childhood, to London where she gained valuable experience working on the Daily Mirror, at that time Britain's best-selling newspaper. Her position as photographic and archival researcher, from 1985 to 1990, provided her with a firm basis for understanding the commercial world of photography, and allowed her to recognise the possibilities of photography as both a product and an art form.

However, wanderlust motivated Tallulah's next moves; taking her from London to the Bahamas, Miami, Vancouver and Tokyo, before finally coming to rest in Vancouver.

While travelling she was never apart from her camera, finding time and energy to both build on her technical skills and her vision. Indeed during her first stay in Vancouver, from 1991-1993, she worked as a freelance photographer for a variety of clients including The Courier, Le Soleil de Columbie, Kaon as well as mounting the first show of her work.

A strong desire to experience 'difference' took Tallulah even further afield to Tokyo. There she built up a photographic diary of the Japan she saw; a culture in direct contrast to those she had previously experienced, and one ruled by the conflicting dynamics of tradition and modernity.

Returning to Vancouver in 1997 Tallulah began to pull the different strands of her experience together to formalise her skills and vision. Her recognition of the significance of photography in recording human experience led her to specialise in working with parents and children - through the stages of pregnancy, newborns and early childhood. Tallulah photographs of this period are represented by Image Network, Vancouver and Index Stock New York.

Her growing belief that printing was as much of an art as photography motivated her decision to handprint her pictures. Thus printing is a vital component of Tallulah's images. You can appreciate her pictures on a number of levels - the recording of a moment at once intensely personal and universal, a family memory, a reflection of our present to become a monitor of our past - or simply as works of art.
