Photography by Karyn Easton
Surge
Karyn Easton graduated from Cleveland College of Art and Design in 1989 with an HND in Visual Communications with a specialism in commercial photography.
After some great work experience in London, working with some well known big name brands, she worked for a while as a graphic designer and had a number of subsequent roles in the Creative Arts Industry.
After a nearly 18 year gap to bring up her children she began teaching photography at evening school. Building up her range of classes, she moved to her local college where she is now a photography lecturer and class tutor.
Personally she has won a number of photography awards including being a finalist in last year's Women in Photography competition. However she believes that her greatest achievements lie in the achievements of her students. In fact she recently returned from London after attending an awards ceremony where two of her students were finalists in a prestigious national competition with one of them winning judges favourite.
Karyn continues to live and work in South Devon(Brixham) and when she isn't teaching she is usually working on her photography commissions.
Surge is an evocative piece that represents a movement of colour at a cellular level. It's subtle tones are being pushed aside by more colourful organic shapes that are moving from the bottom of the piece and manifesting in the centre. It was produced by photographing oil bubbles on water and then by digitally manipulating the resulting image
