The face behind Everlens Photography

About Evelyn McFadgean

I discovered my love for the art of photography at a remarkably young age. Born in Sydney Western Suburbs, my journey into photography began when I received a basic point-and-shoot camera at the tender age of 10.

​

Captivated by the ability to freeze moments in time and convey emotions through images, I quickly immersed myself in the world of photography. I spent countless hours experimenting with composition, lighting, and framing, developing an innate sense of visual storytelling that would become my signature style.

​

Throughout my career, I've explored diverse subject matters and pushed the boundaries of conventional photography. My portfolio includes breathtaking landscapes that capture the essence of nature, intimate wedding and family portraits that reveal the soul behind the eyes, and thought-provoking conceptual pieces that challenge the viewer's perspective.

​

The decision to step away from the fast-paced world of photography was not without its challenges. Known for my unwavering commitment to my craft, I found myself navigating the delicate balance between motherhood and my artistic pursuits. Despite temporarily putting my professional ambitions on hold, I embraced the role of a devoted parent, cherishing the precious moments spent with my children.

​

During this hiatus, I discovered new sources of inspiration within the everyday experiences of family life. The lens of my camera may have been momentarily set aside professionally, but my keen observation and appreciation for the beauty in the ordinary persisted. Parenthood became a canvas for my creativity, and I found myself documenting the nuanced emotions, fleeting moments, and timeless connections within my family.

​

As my children grew, I gradually rekindled my passion for photography. Balancing the demands of parenting with my desire to create art, I began integrating my family into my photographic endeavors. This period of personal and artistic growth enriched my perspective, allowing me to explore the intersection of family life and visual storytelling.

​

Returning to the photography scene with a fresh outlook, I brought a newfound depth to my work. The hiatus not only reinforced the importance of family but also reinvigorated my creative spirit. My portfolio expanded to include captivating family portraits, candid moments of joy, and narratives that celebrated the shared experiences of love and connection.

​

My journey through the hiatus and subsequent return to photography serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of an artist's life. My story resonates with those who have faced the challenge of balancing personal and professional aspirations, illustrating that moments of pause can be transformative, leading to a richer, more nuanced artistic expression.

​

The hiatus was a chapter, but the return is an entire novel waiting to be written. Through the lens, I invite the world to witness the unfolding of a story that promises not only to capture moments but to embody the very essence of a photographer's resilient and ever-evolving spirit.

​

My talent has not gone unnoticed, earning me recognition and accolades in the competitive world of photography. My ability to evoke emotions through images has garnered me a loyal following.

​

I have not only established myself as a prominent member of the Australian Photographic Society (APS) but am also diligently working towards achieving the prestigious honor distinctions within the society.

​

My journey with the APS began as a platform for sharing my passion for photography and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. My involvement in the society allowed me to participate in exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative projects, fostering both personal and professional growth within the vibrant photography community.

​

A pivotal moment in my photographic career came when I set my sights on pursuing honors within the APS. This ambitious pursuit involves a rigorous evaluation of a photographer's body of work, demonstrating both technical mastery and a distinct artistic vision. My dedication to the craft, coupled with my commitment to excellence, fueled my decision to embark on this challenging but rewarding path.

​

As I continue to evolve and push the boundaries of visual storytelling, one can only anticipate the breathtaking narratives that will unfold through my lens. With a passion that knows no bounds and an unwavering commitment to the art of photography, I stand as a beacon of inspiration in the world of visual creation.
