Journeys through windows of opportunity
This image came about in an awesome way for me. Two weeks earlier, the model, Margrit, was telling me a bit about her life. She’s lived and travelled in many countries and taken lots of opportunities. She has also achieved great success with her photography. Several weeks later, I had an unusual chance to photograph her in an old train – the perfect location to reflect her life’s journey.
In Australia, Margrit has achieved her LAPS and AAPS, and is the only West Australian women to received international photographic honours AFIAP. She’s a perfectionist and it shines through in her work.

jeez – this is amazing, especially the blurred framing. the colour is just perfect too; really well composed – it must have been great to take!
Antanas
Great composition, perfectly done, I like it, Bravo!
Mark German
Really beautifully shot, Louise.
Deborah Parkin
this has to be one of the best images i have seen yet – it is beautiful in so many ways – i love the colours/tones and texture of this and the blurring obviously adds to that feeling of looking in as opposed to at her and her world/life. Her look as well is far away (or wishing she was?) – if i could ever do something like this Louise i would be sooooo proud – it is outstanding.

Graeme Pettit ...
Terrific image, and thanks for posting the link too. The sections of blur intrigue me, as it looks like you are viewing through mucky glass with a pattern on them, akin to the old style stations.
