ABOUT ME
Carol Hamcke-Onstwedder is a fine art photographer who aims to inspire respect, curiosity, and wonder of the natural world and different cultures through her work.
Carol is a London-based photographer, having just returned from five years in southeast Asia. She has a background in public policy and development studies, which brings a unique perspective to her photography. With her passion for the natural environment and her curiosity about different cultures globally, she tries to tease out a visual /emotional story in whatever photographic genres she is working on. She continues to kindle creativity through using multiple photographic techniques and disciplines. While her nature and landscape photography focusses on textures, shapes, and colour, her people photography focusses on the connectivity between her and her subject, or capturing the moment on the street. She aims to spark emotion and curiosity about the world around her through her photography.
