Michelle De Beer, Durban Member Since June 2015 Artist Statement My passionate purpose behind photography is to unveil the beauty that surrounds me, to capture the scenes that take my breath away and to share them with those who choose to see. Beauty is sometimes hidden in the smaller things that we miss in the rat race of life, it may not always be a majestic mountain or a dazzling sunset it might be hiding in your neighbor's flowerpot or on that deserted beach you drive by each day.
