Ripples of Light

Bernadette Smith

Light is all around us, and I enjoy capturing its beauty by simply viewing it from a different angle or through a new lens. These photographs were taken of sunlight shining through textured glass window panes. My photography aims to capture light in a unique way—whether through waves in water, glass, or rain drops—creating an intriguing visual experience. The source and refraction of the light can be elusive, making it difficult to pinpoint exactly where it originates. This ambiguity invites viewers to interpret the images in their own way, sparking conversation and connection. Everyone will see something different in each photograph, making the experience deeply personal and interactive.
