Welcome to my Blog.



JILL ROSELL PHOTOGRAPHY



From the moment I received my first SLR camera some twenty years ago - a 21st birthday present - it was love at first touch. To me it was, and is, an instrument of creation and inspiration, and it transformed the way in which I viewed the world. Born and raised in the midst of the natural beauty of New Zealand, I have since had the good fortune to travel extensively and to experience the wonder and beauty of varied countries and cultures.
Along the way I've discovered that a photograph is much more than a moment, an image, or an emotion. Not only can it serve to capture the true essence of a person or place, it can embody their heart and soul. When this is accomplished the photograph takes on a life of its own and triggers a deep emotional response in the viewer. As a professional photographer and an artist, it is this goal that I seek to accomplish. Each time I raise my lens I strive to capture the heart and soul of my subject.
I'm blessed to call Bend in Central Oregon my home, an area with an abundance of natural beauty and a plethora of wonderful activities. Every day I wake up grateful for where I live, what I have, and who I am. My passion for photography could not have evolved without my husband and two young children. Over the years they have offered me endless enriched moments to capture, moments that perfectly illustrate that a photograph can be so much more than just an image.
My passion in life is to search out these "soul moments" through the lens of my camera. I invite you to join me on this ever evolving and exciting journey, one that will undoubtedly provide intimate and remarkable memories captured forever for your lasting enjoyment.

A VERY SPECIAL DOG PHOTO SHOOT WITH 'FRED' IN DOWNTOWN BEND, OREGON.

Meet handsome 9 year old Fred. Fred has been battling Lymphoma for about 8 months and has surpassed his diagnosis of one month.
Fred is certainly here because of his determination to live and of course by the love from his family.

Fred was one of the recent photo shoot winners on my  I LOVE BEND,OR facebook page.

I decided on an urban flare for his photo shoot, his striped scarf made him very stylish! We had some wind and snow to battle. I think Fred was glad to get out of the cold and off home for a nap and some treats.

I wish Fred lots of comfort and treats while he is with us. It was an honor to capture him!

    Jill,
    I treated this dog at the Emergency Clinic and am so happy to see him doing well. The photos are great. They show a side of him that I did not see at the clinic. Aside from that, they are works of art. You should be proud!
