Andrea Lowe Photography

I am not a gardener myself, but thanks to year-round public and community gardens in Vancouver, and those of friends on the Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island, I have many places to take my camera. I still consider myself a student of the subject, but I have learned that in the garden I will find all the elements of photography that I love – the potential for artistic interplay of light, texture, composition and colour.

These sunflower photographs are inspired by and dedicated to the work of Turn to the Sun volunteers here in B.C., a non-profit group committed to raising funds for community-based HIV/AIDS projects in Africa. Please visit their website for more information or to become involved: www.turntothesun.org
