Mary Parkhill is a
professional photographer, who put aside a lucrative job in advertising to
follow her interest as a full-time vocation. She is currently well-known for
her fine art photography of natural landscapes.
Parkhill
spends her summers in Alaska photographing the breathtaking scenery, which
includes gorgeous images of orcas frolicking in the ocean. It's clear to
understand why she turned her business knowledge into a creative profession
with her amazing ability to capture the moment.
She shoots
killer whales and sunsets, then mixes them to create the ultimate scene. She
leads the viewer's eye around the image by using the anatomy of the orcas. At
times, the orca's nose or tail is perfectly aligned with the setting sun; at
other times the sunset merely acts as a golden backdrop to highlight these
beautiful creatures.
“What
inspires me the most about shooting orcas is their enormous enormity,
witnessing them in their natural environment, and their capacity to still take
my breath away,” Parkhill explained. She spends her summers exploring Alaska's
inspiring scenery, and the photos she captures fill out her portfolio.
Parkhill, who is typically based in Pennsylvania is a big fan of whales, and
there are some beautiful photos of orcas and humpback whales swimming in and
breaching in Alaskan seas.
But it's
the sunset images, which blend landscape and high art photography that create
an incomparable dreamlike escape. On her website, a selection of her orca
sunset images is for sale—everyone may have a piece of this fantasy in their
house!
