Gina Socrates ARPS

As a Jersey photographer, Gina Socrates draws inspiration from the Island, whether it be its unique landscape, its traditional and contemporary architecture or its flora. More often than not she interprets her subjects in an abstract way, often focusing on details and minutiae which may otherwise pass unnoticed. This causes the photographs to become visual riddles which entice the viewer to try to interpret them while at the same time maintaining an intrinsic aesthetic quality which can be appreciated in its own right.

Gina began her career as a fashion designer in London before moving to Jersey. She switched to photography in 2004.  In 2007, she received a licentiateship from the Royal Photographic Society where she subsequently became an Associate in 2008.

Her photographs are available to purchase from the Harbour Gallery in St. Aubin and also on her website     www.ginasocrates.com
