This black and white marine photograph was taken of the ferry Snowdrop painted in 'dazzle' colours in celebration of the visit of the Cunard liners Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and Queen Victoria. Sir Peter Blakes design entitled Everybody Razzle Dazzle will cover the Mersey Ferry for the next two years, making this the first of the Dazzle Ship commissions to be a working vessel.
The original dazzle ships were painted in a camouflage scheme extensively during World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II. The dazzle technique was employed, not in order to conceal the ship, but rather to make it difficult for the enemy to estimate its type, size, speed and direction of travel.
I created this black and white photograph to emulate the original designs and have kept the colours of Sir Peter Blakes design which are reflected in the water .

I am Karen, i live on the Wirral in the North West of England. I am a wife and mother, i am a Photographer. I studied art and loved photography, it has now become a way of life. I am lucky to be able to spend a lot of time with my camera and it has brought me success, exhibitions and awards but it has ultimately brought me peace. I am enthralled by light and use my camera to capture that moment of softness or anger, new beginnings or days end, that emotional impact of the light at a given moment on the landscape. I keep going back to the sea and will spend hours waiting so i can make you feel what i feel when i capture a sunrise or a rainy day, a high sea or a calm moon lite night. You will often see me, my camera and trusty tripod...
