Photography created as a form of artistic expression

Emma out on location to create more fine art prints for Prints by Emma in Tasmania, Cradle Mountain National Park.

My story

Emma is a Sydney-based photographer specialising in landscapes. Her work depicts quiet, detailed scenes that evoke the mood and atmosphere of a place.

With a background that spans both creative practice and the professional framing and printing industry, Emma is the owner of Prints by Emma and the Co-Founder and Director of Three Edge Framing and Gallery, a space dedicated to supporting artists through custom framing, printing, and curated exhibitions. Her formal education includes a Certificate IV in Photoimaging from TAFE NSW, complemented by workshops with renowned Australian landscape photographers such as Ken Duncan and Cam Blake, where she refined her in-field techniques. Emma’s photographic journey includes eight years working as a portrait photographer, managing photo editing and printing labs.

Emma’s work has been exhibited in several group shows, including “Kaleidoscope”, “Splash”, and “Twenty Five | In the Landscape”, all hosted by Three Edge Studio at M2 Gallery in Surry Hills. She also participated in “In Focus Women”, an international exhibition showcasing 50 women photographers, and was subsequently published in the “In Focus Women 2022” book. Additionally, Emma was awarded third place in the portrait photography category at the Sydney Royal Easter Show..

Curated selection

The majority of my work as a landscape photographer could best be described as intimate landscapes. Quiet, detailed scenes that capture the feeling of a place alongside wide, sweeping views. When I head out on location, one of the first things I look for is interesting light. It’s often in these small, softly lit pockets that the atmosphere reveals itself.

My work is heavily influenced by classic fantasy tales with a mix of folklore. I’m not just documenting what I see, I’m trying to capture how it felt to stand there, to experience it. Choosing where and when to shoot usually comes down to season and mood. I’m someone who naturally leans toward cozy and moody scenes, and I think that’s reflected in my work. While I love a vibrant beach sunrise, I get the most joy from a cool walk along the sand just before a storm rolls in, or from bundling up to photograph snow falling in a quiet pine forest.

These kinds of moments remind me of the stories and fantasy novels I grew up with. They offer a gentle escape from the real world, while still being rooted in it. You could say escapism is what drives me to make photographs. With a love for tales of giants, mystical creatures, and forgotten worlds, I’m naturally drawn to scenes that could easily belong to those stories. Through my images, I hope to invite others into that same space, where imagination meets reality, and wonder feels close at hand.
