| Photographer SALLY TAGG has produced several books and regularly contributes
to a wide range of publications. She has achieved distinction in
both the fine arts area and in commercial photography. Sally is
currently based in New Zealand.
Sally's
focus has always been around portraiture and botanical images. Her early
portrait work encompassed both local and international personalities,
taken while working for various New Zealand publications. Presently Sally
is centered on macro botanical images.
Breaking
from the traditional method of presenting photographs, Sally
has created a system that allows her work to be hung outside. Sally's
recent exhibitions feature these large botanical images which are printed
onto a vinyl substrate using U.V. resistant inks.
