Audrey Hamilton

Audrey Hamilton has been a digital photographer for the past several years. She discovered it later on in life as a way of handling some grief.  Audrey is an alumni of Cazenovia College and currently resides here in town.   Her work specializes in mysterious textures and shadows occurring in the natural environment, especially swampland  and forests.  Audrey also has an affinity for long scraggly trees and  branches.  Her latest gallery,  Swamp Reflections,  at the Cazenovia Library was an exploration of brilliant Autumn leaves reflected in murky puddles below.   She currently works with a Nikon Z7 and D850.  She does all her own editing and shoots in raw to preserve all the data in each image file.
