Sue Bishop is a photographer whose aim is to create an image that goes beyond a mere record of its subject and becomes art. Her compositions are a celebration of colour and form, often going beyond reality so that they become impressionistic and even abstract. Photographing flowers is a particular passion, and Sue has recently been commissioned to write a book on the subject, "Photographing Flowers", which is due to be published at the beginning of March 2004. Sue will also be holding an exhibition to coincide with the launch of the book. It will be at the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library in Vincent Square, London SW1, and will run from 8 March - 16 April. 9.30 - 5.30 Monday to Friday.
