MEET BEC
Bec Joannou is an Australian Photographic Artist. She holds a Certificate IV and Diploma in Photography and Photo Imaging from the Centre for Creative Photography.
Bec finds photography an expressive medium which enables her to share her dream-like visions. She is inspired by the beauty and wonder of the natural world, childhood play and literature. She has a passion for creating whimsical, dream-like worlds which spark the imagination of her little subjects, adding a little magic to their lives.
Bec loves meeting new people is passionate about capturing a story, a connection and little fleeting moments and faces… and then turning them into lasting memories in an album, wall art or framed on display for families to cherish for generations to come.
Bec also works part-time as a Studio Manager and Senior Digital Artist for another photographic studio in Adelaide. She is also currently writing a story to accompany her whimsical, dream-like illustrations about the characters from her imaginary world called Swevenia. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, running and unplugging from the world – with a good book in hand and a very strong coffee!
“Some journeys take you far from home, when you close your eyes in stillness… and Daydream.” – Bec.
