UPDATE: May 2018
The made in Leicestershire website is currently under restructuring. This means that my SELECT page, as well as all other pages on that website are unavailable for the moment. I am waiting for the web designers to get back to me with a date when that site will be back!
So - apologies - but the tiny URL below, which worked until recently is not  useable for now:

This gives an overview of my work, for fine art photography and music and production photography.

Feedback & Effect

It is always interesting to have feedback from clients, gallery owners and collectors about my work, including some new pieces that I have put out recently. This includes the technical quality of my work, from the printing to the final display, as well as the creativity and original inspiration behind the final image.

I am pleased that clients who have a selection of my work in their own homes, or have received my work as a gift, can continue to enjoy my work day after day.

Work - 'to inspire and delight'

I am honoured to be a member of a 'select' group of artists, known as Made in Leicestershire SELECT, or just SELECT for short!


I was invited some time ago by a panel of UK recognised arts professionals to become a member of the prestigious Made in Leicestershire  SELECT group.   

Criteria for selection were based on an artist's quality & originality of work. Also  
included, is a page about my work in the Made  in Leicestershire SELECT directory.

I am proud to be part of 'the very best of Leicester, Leicestershire & 
Rutland's hand crafted art work'

Thank you - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's letter blog to Apple on 21 June, has touched a chord with artists who make a living, are trying to make a living or plan to make a living from their art.

It is our choice if we wish to do work pro-bono and we should not be at the dictates of large corporations to give work away for free if signing up to their sites or putting samples of our work there. Interestingly, the next day, on 22 June, AppleMusic changed their policy, saying that they will pay artists for work on their site. It has taken an artist of Taylor Swift's stature to bring about this change.

Julia Damassa, Storyteller, in rehearsal as the Bard
Thank you, Taylor Swift, for standing up for all artists, musicians, poets, actors, dancers and more.

Many social media sites can be useful for promotion, but the grabbing of contents rights (as in their Terms & Conditions) means that not everyone will subscribe to them. Taylor Swift's stance also means that members of the public are being made more aware that just because something is on the internet, it cannot simply be used and downloaded without due accreditation, etc.
