ABOUT US
Shona Perkins
Shona is a professional photographer and founder of My Beautiful Scotland, specialising in Seascape and ICM Photography, whilst heavily influenced by contemporary art and abstract minimalism, Shona has spent the past few years developing and fine tuning her passion for the creative genre of intentional camera movement (ICM photography).

Wendy Bagnall
Wendy is a photographic artist who lives in Surrey, England. The natural landscape is the inspiration behind her work, which is an interpretation of what she sees. Wendy's approach is unrestrictive and often with an abstract quality, augmenting the light, texture and topography of the landscape, creating pieces that aim to evoke an emotional connection with the viewer.
Wendy is not restricted to a single subject matter within the landscape, which is important, as it enables her to be authentic and driven by what she connects with. This affords her freedom, allowing Wendy's work to to span different landscape genres. Her approach is therefore diverse and she uses a range of in camera techniques to achieve the final result. Wendy becomes immersed in the landscape, lost in imagination and works without boundaries. Her work invites the viewer to find quiet from their internal voice, and become absorbed in abstract representations of natural forms.
Wendy has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and the Toronto Photography festival. She sells limited edition, archival prints, and has worked with a variety of commercial clients.
