Hamilton-based Tracey Conley has an eye for abandoned things and places, and a knack for color. A web designer by occupation, photography is a hobby for the time being. She prints primarily on canvas, working with techniques to give the photographs a painted feel. (Above: Old Time Street Car / Below: Old Blue Two)
“I like to transform that which might be considered ugly into something beautiful, providing new life to those things which have otherwise been forgotten,” Conley says. (Below: Warehouse Scene)
Her nature shots (Moth on a String, for example) are compelling for color and composition.

I love this kind of photography – it’s real and it’s out there and all it takes is someone who knows how to use a camera well to see it, frame it in the lens, call it out so everyone else can see it!

Lovely work – did you use an HDR process on any of them, such as the warehouse one?

No HDR, just a fair bit of playing around in photoshop to achieve a somewhat similar effect.

Who would have thought that abandoned places and things could give such a strong romantic and adventurous feeling? Those images above give me an unexplainable ticklish feeling inside.
It’s like when I saw a scene in an animation movie in which a cherry-blossom tree grew from underneath a wagon, creating a hole thru its roof, making it look like a house with a gigantic pink umbrella.
Anyway, I love this post!
