Meg's fairy stories

Photographer Meg Blacker has been working on  a series of illustrative portraits inspired by literature.

She says: "I've got two themes; Fairy Stories (traditional and modern takes on these) and also Shakespeare!"

This charming photo of sleepy fairy folk in the woods seems to combine both themes in a scene reminiscent of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Meg will be showing her photos at the Crabapple show at 16 Queen's Lane, Eynsham during Artweeks.

Majorie Ottley has been taking a series of strikingly colourful photographs to create abstract images.

"This is one from a series of photographs using a macro lens and coloured paper. This is a new direction for me," says Majorie.
