‘Whimsical Magazine, Tales Of Portraits... Whimsical Magazine is a new independent fortnightly publication aiming to highlight and sublimize portrait photography in all its forms, envisioned as a work of art. Additionally to awesome and unique editorial or commercial portraits, every issue will consist of interviews and articles spotlighting talents, from every part of the world, who will inspire every photography and image enthusiast and stimulate you to excel in your art, in order to make you live your passion more completely. Passion, creativity, emotion and audacity are our 4 watchwords. The award-winning photographer Claire Frances, based on the beautiful coastline of Jervis Bay, specialises on capturing people, their expressions and personalities in an authentic, candid way with a focus on telling their stories with artistry and passion. She’s more particularly focused on creating this magic in her local region for families/couples, maternity and small local businesses. ‘I love capturing the natural authentic adventures of life and believe photography’s best captured moments are fun, creative and unobtrusive. I’m also very passionate and love every opportunity to create with clients. I’m continuously looking for ways to think outside the box creatively and find visually compelling ways to tell your stories.’ Claire has recently been awarded as highly commended in the ‘Australasia’s Emerging Photographers 2023’ presented by Fujifilm and had the opportunity of being published in the wedding and family magazine ‘Gallery Lane’. ‘My style : Fine Art, contrast and warm emotive. Time passes us by so quickly. To be able to freeze a moment in time, just as it was right then, is simply beautiful.’ «Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.» Gail Lumet Buckley, American writer and journalist Have a good read!’
