About

The photographers who provide the beautiful images for island visions have many years experience.

Susan Russell has had over 40 years experience in photography, first taking photos back in the 1960's while working for a small company called "Jolly Photo" down on Shanklin beach. Susan would take photos of families and holiday makers during the daytime whilst they (and herself) were having fun in the sun!
The film would quickly be developed in a small makeshift darkroom and the photos would then be offered back to them at the end of the day for a small fee.

Natalie de Gruchy is an Art Student currently studying photography.
She is a great photographer and has excelent skills in portrait photography, taking commission work including weddings, events, gigs etc.

Jamie Russell (our main photographer) has been interested in photography since the early 1990's.
By the late 90's he had work published in magazines and also shown on well known Television programmes such as "The sky at night"
This interest continued over the years and was given an extra boost when digital came along due to the low cost of printing out his work.

So have a browse through, the dynamic mixture of photography will catch the eye of people with even the shortest attention span!
