ARTIST BIO

Charlotte Bird is a renowned Wedding and portrait photographer living near
Liverpool , England. Her work is quite diverse, but her favorite subject is
'Faries' inspired by the work of the mid Victiorians her work captures the
spirit of childhood in a timeless and magical way.

The work seen here is a clever combination of photography and digital
manipulation. It is available as open and limited editions, and will soon
be avilable on cards, calenders and other products.

Her latest series of photographs, some of which are seen here, are called
'Tales from Cottingley' If you have heard of the film 'Fairy Tale a true story'
You will know that Cottingley is a little Town in West Yorshire, England. This
is where the original fairy photographs were taken by the two cousins, Elsie
Wright and Francis Griffiths. They fooled the experts with their photographs
of fairies taken at the beck and in Cottingley woods.

Well last October I went back to Cottingley, to the beck and Cottingley
woods and took my own photographs. As far as I know no one
else has done this since the originals.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed the adventure.
