When Sarah MacDonald moved to BBC Scotland in 1995 she went to the Glasgow School of Art as an evening student and for three years studied the art of black and white photography. "It opened my eyes to the possibilities of pushing photography, an inherently representational art form, towards the abstract," says Sarah. "I try, whenever I can to turn the familiar into something unexpected. I took a while to move from film to digital but now I have I am discovering that the developing processes I like best are a continuation of the ones I learnt in the darkroom at the School of Art. As my photography evolves and improves I continue to learn from the greats of the past."
