Clare only took up photography in August 2008, but she quickly discovered a passion for the lens and honed her craft on ducks and geese. She admits that buildings, although they present their own challenges, are much easier to photograph, as they stand still. Clare lives in Coventry with her husband and two cats – none of whom like having their picture taken.
The seed of the book started with taking photographs for a public photography project, which developed into a PDF for the Solo Photo Book Month (SoFoBoMo.org), for which the photographs need to be taken within a 31-day period. The book has been refined since the initial PDF, but the majority of photographs are from that month.
Clare has lived in Coventry for eight years and has come to appreciate the historical side of the city. Shoe would now like to share the hidden side with other people.
