AAA: Cathy Jack Coupland Textile Photoshoots

Created to utilise the beauty of textile and fibre art in the realms of a photoshoot, utilising props to add colour, texture and contrast. The result? It is a fascinating and different look at textiles, thread and stitch as the beautiful and beguiling items they are - all through a camera lens.
