Scarlet Black is an artist-photographer based in Surrey BC.  She is known for her garden and flower photography, event and fine art photos.

A few words about my photography:

I create photos to share with others who value strength, beauty and female empowerment. 

I love pictures that are beautiful, communicate clearly and are as simple as the subject allows.  I leave out the extra.  I am happy to shoot gardens, flowers, business locations and buildings (inside and out).  When it comes to events, I will shoot anything but weddings.

You can reach me by phone or  email.

Background:
After completing an MFA degree, Jannette Maedel/Scarlet Black spent several years designing costumes and sets for local Vancouver theatres. From theatre, she moved into fashion and designed a swimwear line for three seasons. Upon returning full time to art, she took on the persona of Scarlet Black, and chose to concentrate on photography and painting as these areas offered more opportunity for creativity than applied design. She is an artist-photographer with the ability to leverage her considerable applied design experience into strong, contemporary photographic concepts and artworks.
