Wren
The very first Shutterbugs guest photographer is Wren. (www.wrenphoto.com.au)
Wren cites his ambition as being, “to create images that intrigue my viewers, and capture their attention. I want them to make a connection, to second-guess, think, and then construct their own stories from the ingredients I give them. Maybe my way of thinking has something to do with my not-so-normal childhood, or maybe I was dropped on my head as a child. Who knows?”
