Scenescapes Photography
Photography is about capturing the moment, the emotion, the action, the subject, the memory, the beauty and the purpose of life. Photography allows me to take all the things I enjoy about life, and save them forever. My compositions are a celebration of color, light, shape and some emotional manipulation. As a nature photographer with a specialty in flowers and sunrises, Phyllis Bankier looks for the intricacies of structure in nature, bringing out the details that are not always seen by the casual observer. She approaches her work with observation, patience, and an open mind.
Please feel free to visit the galleries.
My latest landscapes are of the sunrise. It’s a beautiful way to start the day, and a great challenge for the year - a sunrise photo every day, well almost! Sunrises

With food photography, I make the food the star, with the light source being very important. Usually a simple window, along with some fill light, is all that is needed. This is so the food will look as natural as possible. Foodscapes
