Our Photography and design Journey.
We are a Husband and Wife team - Leigh and De Strange, who work together to operate our Photographic business, ‘Strange Images’. Strange Images is based in the Central Wheatbelt town of Bruce Rock W.A. We have over 20 years experience creating beautiful images to spark joy and inspiration within others!
De has always been a Creative and when she moved to the Country she was amazed by the remote and breathtaking landscapes of the W.A Wheatbelt. This was the initial inspiration to photograph and record this ever changing environment for others to enjoy. Since then, she has become an accredited professional Photographer trained in all areas, completed a Diploma in Visual Arts and become a Surface Pattern Designer. She loves to combine all three skills to create unique designs that can be transformed into stunning wall art, gift ware and available as surface designs, ready for licence onto other businesses products!
“creating beautiful images to spark joy and inspiration within others! “
Leigh is a fourth generation wheat and sheep farmer, with lifetime knowledge of farming practices and the land. Leigh’s knowledge of farming gives him the ability to know where to look for a great photo and why. This information is unique and added to his creative eye, makes for a great shot!
We have invested in some of the latest drone technology and have branched out into aerial photography. This enables us to photograph some of the more rugged, beautiful and hard to reach landscapes and farming techniques operating in this inspiring part of the world.
We offer a diverse gallery of artistic designs that will brighten and add interest to any home or workspace. All Photographic and Pattern designs are available for licence and we would love to collaborate with like minded business who are looking for beautiful designs to use on their quality products to help bring more beauty into the World!
We now operate under the business name ‘De-Anne Strange’ to cover all our art styles going forward. Incorporating our photography and design into mixed media wall art.
Please look through our designs here in our PRINT GALLERY and see more info about our PATTERNS here. Our pattern designs are available on ready made fabrics and homes wares!
We would love to hear from you with any enquiries, please phone or email us - CONTACT.
Regards, Leigh and De Strange.
More about our Pattern inspiration!!
With over 20 years of creating designs that showcase the beauty in all things, we are so excited to introduce another way to share our Art. Living in the Central Wheatbelt of Western Australia, we are surrounded by the ever changing immense beauty of Nature. This constantly inspires us and we just love using that to create stunning, unique art that we hope sparks joy, inspiration and creativity in others. We aim to brighten our customers day by having our art, that they love, in their lives.
Please have a look through our ‘Hidden Beauty’ Collection here in Patterns . It is filled with a lovely mix of little treasures found on our property with our children, an activity I did as a child with my Mum and Nana and so special to us all. We love stopping and looking appreciative at natures beauty often missed. Each design was created first through a variety of mixed media including photography, painting and drawing, then created into illustrations ready for print! The first two different colour ways were inspired by the colours of the land and pulled directly from our own photos of home in Bruce Rock W.A. The colours used in our ‘Colours of the Ocean’ mini collection, were created from our ‘Sun Glitter’ Photo design taken on our family holiday in Augusta W.A.
