Hi! My name is Holly Kempe and I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery.

Since 1975 I have been involved in the home building and design industry with an interest in interior decorating. In 2004 I discovered photography after one of those life-changing experiences which left me with a need to slow down, change my lifestyle and re-assess my priorities.

I prefer to think of myself more as a photographic artist rather than as a photographer, by which I mean, rather than record a subject or scene with my camera I like to try and find an alternative interpretation. To try and convey what I feel rather than simply what I see. I use my camera as a medium of capture but prefer to ‘make’ images rather than just take them by simply recording what is already there. To me, the capturing of an image is just the first stage – I enjoy spending time processing, in trying to reveal the hidden depths.

Slowly raising myself to my elbow, I drink in the touching rays warmth while silently toasting in celebration to the birth of a new day.

Emerging from the fields of the past, / The blossoming skyline of the latest crop of highrises / Boasts the fertility of the land below it.
