Each photograph displays an unusual angle and perspective of the subjects. Some are extreme close-ups, others are very bold and dominant with a strong backdrop or a variety of colours.

Jennifer likes to think of William's Blake's poem when creating her art:
"To see the world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold inifinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour."
