“The camera is the least important element in photography.” -Julius Shulman

I’m Jill R. Denbow and welcome to my website! I’m a fine art photographer specializing in nature and cityscapes.

I’ve always had a passion for art and a fascination with photography. While my career path took me in a different direction, about six years ago I began to turn my fascination into a serious hobby. I have since taken my photographic hobby to the next level, launching Elements in Focus in the spring of 2014. What started with hand-made notecards given as gifts to friends and family has turned into a small business. I’m excited to be on this journey and hope you’ll take it with me, viewing my site often and telling your friends.

I love to photograph everything outside, including flowers, trees, the coast, cityscapes, wildlife and even bugs! I like to experiment with macro photography (hence the bug images) and enjoy working in natural light. Living in NC allows me the opportunity to capture all of these incredible images of nature. I’ve also begun travel photography and love to experience and see new places, especially from behind my camera.

Photographs are a great way to enrich your home or office space.  Photographic gifts are special and last longer than a box of chocolates (although I do love chocolate!).

I aim to capture the charm and splendor of our natural surroundings in my photographs. I hope that by bringing these elements in focus, you’ll see the beauty all around you.

“It is as true today as it ever was: He who seeks beauty will find it.” -Bill Cunningham
