Dance Away the Fear

Sarah Darling

Sarah Darling, a resident of Tobermory, has nurtured her passion for photography since her late teens, embarking on a journey that began with simple film cameras. Her photographic evolution led her to embrace SLR cameras and even craft her own darkroom to process black and white images, a testament to her commitment to the craft. Today, she has transitioned to digital cameras, expanding her portfolio to encompass fine art photography, event documentation, and performance capture.

Sarah's artistic ethos revolves around the idea that a successful image should serve a purpose, tell a story, pose a question, or evoke emotion. Her quest for innovation leads her to explore diverse ways of using images to achieve these objectives.

Her creative tapestry draws inspiration from a wide array of sources, including renowned photographers and creators from various decades. Yet, perhaps her most significant influences originate from her life partner, an artist and curator, whose unwavering support, insights, and knowledge have been instrumental in shaping her practice. Additionally, a cherished friend whose artistic philosophy revolves around a disregard for convention has further enriched Sarah's creative journey, fostering a unique approach that defies the constraints of 'rules.' The invaluable contributions of these two individuals have played a pivotal role in the development of Sarah's artistic vision, for which she is profoundly grateful.
