Megan Manning – Bio/Artist Statment
In my creative journey, I have evolved through writing, acting, and filmmaking but photography has been a constant. I have always lived close to trees and oceans, starting in San Francisco and travelling through England, California and British Columbia. My work has included publicity shots for actors and musicians; performances; photo-journalism; film shoots; architecture; ruins and ancient monuments. My portraits are spontaneous and un-posed, often capturing people’s internal lives. My experience ranges from studio photography for advertising agencies to more creative projects, such as the ones on this website.
