Photography

The artist, Mary Catherine Watson, developed an eye for shooting photography while taking reference photos for her art business. Many of the design principals found in fine art are also relevant in the world of photography.  As such, many of her works are captivating. In 2004, she started to submit works in ameteur photography contests.  Then, in 2008, she moved up to a semi-professional category which means--she can be commissioned to shoot photography, but this component of the business is not the focus of the business, thus, all prints, albums and tangible products will have to be created using a third party company such as Kodak.  She will charge for the photoshoot and development of a disc of images with unlimited printing rights.  Contact the artist for more information.

      First Place in Animal Category--ARP Photo Contest 2008

    There could be nothing more darling than a tiny little dog in a giant cup--but add to it the age of the dog and the fact that she only had three teeth left and you get a dog that looks like it is constantly laughing.  Mary Catherine Watson looks for fun ways to pose animals to bring out their personality in photography.

      Oblivious

    The artist has always been fond of nature and is especially pleased to find it in unlikely locations, such as an urban setting.

      Looking for the Light

    Roses are a special interest of the artist.  She tries to show the textural differences of the rose by embracing sunlight in the composition.  As the sunlight streams through, the transluscent delicate thin petals are juxtaposed to the opaque stems and thorns.

    Family portraits are captured in a series of photography in a natural setting.  This was especially meaningful as the series is of  the artist's son, daughter-in-law and grandchild.
