Maddie Thornhill brings a graphic eye to garden photography, using the lens and light to reveal the order and symmetry that governs plant life.
During her career with a number of leading London advertising agencies, initially as a copywriter and then later as an Art Director, she worked with some of the world’s foremost photographers. She developed a photographer’s eye; that recognition of what works - and what does not.
Some seven years ago her passion for gardening prompted her to invest in a decent camera, tripod and set of lenses and to search out some stories with garden interest, with which to approach the editorial world. Work came fast from such publications as ‘The Saturday’ and ‘Sunday Telegraph’, ‘The Times’, ‘Homes & Gardens’, ‘Gardens Illustrated’, ‘The English Garden’ and ‘Country Living’ magazines.
Maddie attributes her success to one simple message given quite early in her life: “Look. Look. Look and look again; and then start looking.”
“That clear message switched a light on in my head, which continues to glow brighter, year upon year. Its now become integrated within me, and lies at the very core of what I do”.
