Anne Morrison Rabe Photography

Anne looks at the natural, mostly botanical, world and what others might pass by, from an unusual perspective. Her photography verges on the abstract or painterly, an illustrative rather than literal medium. Using an iPhone and multiple applications, my method is truly mobile, bringing an immediacy to my work that allows me to chronicle and share my unique point of view. Anne finds creative inspiration everywhere and love the spontaneity of being able to use my phone to interpret my vision.
