Photographer Sarah Howard says that successful photography is dependent on good light and is about being in the right place at the right time. What she fails to admit is that it is dependent on talent, too, and on having an eye for a good picture.

Sarah has certainly got her fair share of talent, and definitely knows how to identify the factors that go to make up a breathtaking scenic shot. Her latest exhibition, In My View, which displays 23 of her latest photographs, is now on view at the O3 Gallery, in the castle grounds, Oxford, until July 5.

Her aim in showing this collection is to enable the viewer to step inside her images, see what she sees, and embrace the view.

One photograph on display, which she has named Poppies, has captured a large field filled with this lovely red wild flower. Sarah came upon the field unexpectedly and became excited by the sheer beauty of the scene. Having taken the shot, she travelled on – her head filled with the wonder of nature. Imagine her horror, therefore, when on returning the way she came, she discovered the farmer ploughing up the field. Her lovely photograph being the only reminder the scene had once been infused with red.

Reflection captures clouds over water. It was taken early in the morning, when she had hoped to catch the sun rising – the sun failed to emerge and she was moved to take pictures of the reflection of clouds instead.

To obtain her picture Broadway Tower, which depicts this remarkable structure standing proud between two trees, she admits she had to wait hours for the many visitors to move. In the end Sarah had to take the shot whilst lying close to the ground, to cut people out of the shot. There are no people in Sarah’s pictures; all the works on show are of scenes undisturbed by the human form. Each picture is a Glicée print that has an estimated print life of 75 years plus, and most are boldly framed with a dark rugged wood.
