Wendy Hunter-Higgins Art Prints

Black and white photographer Wendy Hunter-Higgins describes her technique as “simply looking.” “I can’t help myself—when I'm lucky, it’s there.” And the “there” happens to be the great outdoors, especially during the summer months she spends in Vermont riding horses with friends. Home for the remainder of the year is in Massachusetts with her husband and daughter. Wendy traditionally used her trusty Nikon equipment to capture images until recently when she experimented with a digital camera. With the print quality of digital images improved to her liking, she felt it was time to switch. She prints her own photographs on archival materials, preferring under-saturated images, which bear some resemblance to handpainted photos of yesteryear. Her influences are the great photographers Minor White, Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon and Jerry Uelsmann. Wendy operates a graphic arts firm catering to horse businesses. She produces advertisements, websites and is involved with the layout and design of magazines and books. Wendy’s hobbies include lots of travel, especially to Eastern Europe, summers horseback riding in Vermont and working in her garden. She exhibits her work in Vermont.
