Peripheral Images Photography

Visual Wanderlust: Travel Photography by Christina M. Ridley

For me, photography is a way to express my creativity. It has been a passion of mine since the time before digital cameras! I still enjoy taking my dads old Fujica film SLR out once in a while, but I also appreciate the versatility of the digital cameras.

I've been lucky enough to have discovered the joy of traveling and the beauty in experiencing new cultures and places. I'm inspired by rustic landscapes as well as old, decaying buildings. I can't get enough of Latin America, which you may notice is heavily featured in my shop. I also enjoy the natural beauty of Canada and the quirky small towns of America.

I'm currently in the middle of my PhD in Calgary, Canada. Although I'm scientifically minded, there is definitely not a lot of science involved in my photography; I rely mostly on instinct and feeling, which works out every once in a while! I'm drawn more to the unconventional images, but of course, a beautiful shot is a beautiful shot and I'll never deny it a spot in my library.

I opened up Peripheral Images because I wanted to share my photography with like-minded people around the world.

I hope you enjoy!
